1:07:01
I was listening. I'm sorry.
1:07:04
That's O.K.
1:07:06
You think this family is
a little bit too weird for words?

1:07:11
You've got a little boy...
1:07:13
...who wants to believe so much
in the world around him...

1:07:15
...and an older brother who'd do
anything for that boy...

1:07:19
Including embarrass himself
in front of a girl...

1:07:22
I could've that one down am I.
1:07:28
Seriously though...
1:07:31
I saw some stuff tonight, I mean...
1:07:33
Notjust your ordinary, you know,
bumps and grinds in the house...

1:07:40
It wasn't normal what I saw tonight.
Kind of hard to explain...

1:07:45
All that boy wants
is to be normal...

1:07:49
I mean think about it.
1:07:51
He's seeing stuff and everyone
is telling him he's not.

1:07:56
Every time he goes to tell someone...
1:08:01
...they say he's wrong and that he
shouldn't be feeling what he's feeling.

1:08:05
Pretty soon,
he's not gonna tell anyone.

1:08:08
He'sjust gonna deal with it
on his own terms...

1:08:13
You're like the resident expert?
1:08:16
Sorry...
1:08:18
It'sjust that you're right.
1:08:23
And I just don't know why.
1:08:26
It's not your fault.
Believe me...

1:08:29
...it's woven into the very fabric
of our society...

1:08:32
...for example...
1:08:34
"Alice in Wonderland", our most popular
folklore is based on an acid trip...

1:08:37
Ring around the rosie, the bubonic
plague, Grimm's fairy tales...

1:08:40
...child eating witches
and poisoned apples...

1:08:43
Even rock a bye baby ends with
the baby crashing to the ground.

1:08:47
I'm not even
saying anything about...

1:08:49
...the prayer we're supposed to say
before we go to bed at night:

1:08:51
"If I die before I wake..."
1:08:54
Na, that's not
very reassuring stuff...
