:06:19
Excuse me. Hey.
:06:23
Hey!
:06:25
It's okay, it's okay. It's okay.
:06:29
I didn't mean to get in your way.
:06:32
Wow. It's okay.
You're the boss.
:06:35
Nice job. Wow! Nice job.
:06:40
I gotta think, he was over ten-feet high,
don't you?
:06:42
He's a big bear!
He's a big bear!
:06:45
A very big bear! Wow!
:06:49
Anyway, he's over here
rub-a-dub-dubbing.
:06:52
He's a big bear!
:06:54
The excitement Treadwell felt
:06:56
connected him immediately
with children.
:06:59
In his campaign
to create awareness,
:07:02
he reached thousands and thousands
of school children
:07:05
who would remember
his fabulous storytelling
:07:08
as one of the highlights
of their school years.
:07:12
He took his mission
so seriously
:07:14
that he never solicited for a fee.
:07:19
Over time, he reached the status
of a national celebrity.
:07:25
Timothy Treadwell is crazy
about grizzly bears.
:07:28
How crazy? Sometimes...
:07:30
It was as if he had become a star
:07:33
by virtue of his own invention.
:07:35
I would be within
the physical presence of bears
:07:39
24 hours a day
for months at a time.
:07:42
This is... crazy.
This is nuts.
:07:46
These are the most dangerous animals
on the face of the earth.
:07:49
- Well...
- And you want to go
:07:51
and put yourself in harm's way
24 hours a day?
:07:53
I think they've been misunderstood.
:07:55
How can I believe that if you are
about to be killed by a bear,
:07:59
that you wouldn't say, "I made a mistake.
I'd like to have a gun"?
