138

00:
08:04,464 -- 00:08:06,261

When do you go back?

139

00:
08:08,902 -- 00:08:11,200

lt must be scary

what you do.

141

00:
08:12,338 -- 00:08:16,069

Boring mostly. You know,

long stretches of boring.

142

00:

Occasional flashes

of scary.

Full moon tonight.

when it's up in the sky.

JOHN:

You know, that's just

your perspective.

lt actually doesn't matter

where it is in the sky or

where you are in the world

148

00:
08:39,332 -- 00:08:42,392

if you hold your hand up

and close one of your eyes.

149

00:
08:43,469 -- 00:08:45,369

lt's never bigger

than your thumb.

152

00:
08:53,046 -- 00:08:54,570

JOHN:

l don't know.

153

Somewhere.
