:37:00
I always keep a few of those around.
Thank you.
:37:03
I have lower back trouble.
:37:04
I just shovel the ice pack right down there.
:37:06
Oh, no, no. This is a fresh one.
:37:11
So, Ellis island.
:37:13
I have to admit. I have lived in New York my whole life.
:37:15
And I've never been here.
:37:16
I figured that most people haven't.
:37:19
So I got my man Larry here to set us a private tour.
:37:22
Anything for Hitch.
:37:25
It was originally known as Oyster Island.
:37:28
The island was expand to its present size with dirt,
:37:31
removed during the construction of the New York subway system.
:37:35
Are you serious?
Yes.
:37:36
Did you know this?
:37:38
Yes. I mean that's why I brought you here.
:37:40
In fact, over 100 million of Americans can trace their ancestors
:37:44
back to a single man, woman or a child on the ship's manifest
:37:49
to an inspector's ledger.
:37:51
By 1910, 75% of the residents of New York, Chicago, Detroit...
:38:10
It's called the "Kissing Post".
:38:12
The plaque explains how different cultures kiss after long absences.
:38:18
What exactly would qualify as a long absence?
:38:21
I mean, like...
:38:25
No.
:38:29
I actually have a relative come through here.
:38:34
Really?
Yeah.
:38:37
What?
What?
:38:41
What's that thing?
:38:44
No. You know, I was just thinking, uh...
:38:47
You can't know where you are going,
:38:49
Until you know where you've been.
:38:51
Ain't that right, Larry?
:38:53
You're the man, brother.
:38:54
It's kind of deep for a first date, don't you think?
