00:15 Welcome to Wendell Baker International, where we've been serving the Southwest since 1971.
00:20 I just got one question. Who wants to get American?
00:23 He had it all.
00:25 I'm lucky to have you.
00:26 Yeah, I mean, I'm not exactly a consolation prize.
00:29 Until it was taken away.
00:30 Brown and Junior, I'll be your life!

01:04 Just tell me if you don't stock it!

01:12 And I sell their medication on the black market.
01:15 We gotta go get 'em.
01:16 When was the last time you were outside anyways?
01:18 Seven years, four months, nine days.
01:20 Woo!

01:32 That's like four bucks.
