:14:00
Where did I do that?
I didn't do that.

:14:02
Maybe it's just me
You know...

:14:04
Reading something knowing that
the character in the story is based on you...

:14:08
it's both flattering and disturbing
at the same time.

:14:11
How is it disturbing?
:14:13
I don't know, just...
being part of someone else's memory.

:14:17
Seeing myself through your eyes.
:14:20
How long did it take
you to write it?

:14:22
Uhm, 3 or 4 years, on and off.
:14:26
Wow, that's a really long time
to be writing about one night!

:14:29
Yeah, I know, tell me about it.
:14:32
I always assumed you
had forgotten me.

:14:34
No, I had a pretty clear picture
of you in my mind.

:14:38
I have to tell you something.
:14:39
- I just...
- What?

:14:41
I wanted to talk to you for so long,
you know, now that...

:14:43
- Yeah, me too
- ...it's just so real, you know,

:14:44
I feel I can't get anything
out of my mouth.

:14:46
I know, I know, how long do we have?
20 minutes and 30 seconds?

:14:49
Let's go!
No, we got more than that.

:14:50
I wanna know about you.
:14:51
Tell what are you doing...
you know, what are you up to?

:14:54
Uhm, where to start...
I work for Green Cross.

:14:57
- It's an environmental organization.
- What are they all about?

:15:01
Well, we basically work on
different environment issues,

:15:04
from clean water to
disarmament of chemical weapons.

:15:06
You know, international laws
that deal with the environment.

:15:09
And, and, what do you do for them?
We're going this way.

:15:11
Uhm, different things.
:15:13
Like last year,
I was in India for quite a while,

:15:15
working on a water treatment plant.
:15:17
- Wow!
- Well, yeah, the cotton industry there

:15:20
is a major source of
pollution, so...

:15:21
I mean, this sounds like you're
actually doing something, you know,

:15:24
I mean, most people,
myself included, just...

:15:27
sit around and bitch, you know,
:15:29
America's consuming all the world resources,
SUVs suck, global warming is real...

:15:34
You know, I'm really relieved
you're not one of those

:15:36
Freedom Fries kind of Americans.
:15:38
Hey, you know...
But, how did you get into that?

:15:40
Ah, I came out of political science
:15:42
and I was hoping to work
for the government.

:15:44
And I did, for a while... eh, terrible!
:15:47
- Not good?
- Yeah, no.

:15:48
Anyway, I got really tired...
let's go this way

:15:51
... of having those endless
conversations with friends

:15:53
about how the world is falling to pieces.
:15:55
So I decided what I really wanted to do
:15:58
was to find things that could be fixed,
and try to fix them, you know?
