00:00Hey there, Los Angeles. You've reached Awesome Aquatic. Have an awesome aquatical day.
00:15Jack, what am I tasting here?
00:17This is my take on the Langer's Egg Cream.
00:19A little bit of cinnamon.
00:21Ah, it's brilliant!
00:23Dear, should we get married?
00:25Uh, yeah. I mean, we could.
00:28Mr. Barronman, welcome back. What is it today?
00:31I have just finished a study of how we can make the bus schedule great, Richie.
00:39Mr. Barronman, I'm June Delray.
00:41Yeah?
00:42Executive Assistant to Councilman Stephen Torankowski.
00:45Stephen's dirty. He's a threat to our great city.
00:48Yeah.
00:49I need your help taking him down.
00:51Like undercover?
00:52Yes.
00:53Uh, I'm not really trained. Can I get back to you?
00:59I have to take this case.
01:01He's got a gun. A gun!
01:03We have got to get the women to safety.
01:05Okay, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
01:07This is what she's saying.
01:08Look over here.
01:09I will look at it.
01:10Do you even know what it is I do?
01:12We're at a stalemate.
01:16Sometimes it's hard to feel different.
01:20To feel all alone.
01:23I started meditating to push away the blues.
01:26But now I feel them coming back.
01:29I'm not sure what to do.
01:33Honey, is there something you'd like to tell me?
01:36I'm climbing a tree into a canopy of lies, Diane.
01:42We don't know how far up the food chain this thing goes.
01:45Can I trust you?
01:48Stephen Torankowski is not what you think he is.
01:51Is he a lizard?
01:53Excuse me?
01:54I think you just need to figure some things out
01:57before you can hold space for someone else.
01:59I'm spacious?
02:00He's spacious for crying out loud.
02:02I'm spacious!
02:03Jack.
02:07You waited out in the deep end,
02:09and now you're drowning right before our eyes.
02:12I need you to be brave.
02:15I know it's dangerous,
02:17but I got myself into this.
02:20I gotta get myself out.
02:24I gotta get myself out.
