I<00:02:52.180><c> believe</c><00:02:52.400><c> this</c><00:02:52.620><c> was</c><00:02:52.800><c> on</c><00:02:53.099><c> tape</c><00:02:53.360><c> at</c><00:02:53.599><c> one</c><00:02:53.879><c> point</c><00:02:54.080><c> because</c><00:02:54.360><c> I</c><00:02:54.539><c> think</c><00:02:54.659><c> people</c><00:02:54.939><c> knew</c><00:02:55.159><c> what</c><00:02:55.360><c> was</c>

It<00:02:56.340><c> was</c><00:02:56.500><c> going</c><00:02:56.639><c> to</c><00:02:56.759><c> be</c><00:02:56.979><c> absolutely</c><00:02:57.439><c> crazy.</c>

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.979

So<00:02:59.599><c> first</c><00:03:00.039><c> part,</c><00:03:00.460><c> I</c><00:03:00.620><c> get</c><00:03:00.780><c> up</c><00:03:01.000><c> there,</c><00:03:01.379><c> do</c><00:03:02.000><c> my</c><00:03:02.340><c> thing</c><00:03:02.620><c> with</c><00:03:03.979><c> the</c><00:03:04.199><c> saxophone.</c>

00:03:04.979 --> 00:03:07.560

And<00:03:05.659><c> then</c><00:03:05.900><c> after</c><00:03:06.259><c> that,</c><00:03:06.620><c> it</c><00:03:06.620><c> went</c><00:03:06.800><c> straight</c><00:03:07.199><c> downhill.</c>

00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.340
x
I<00:03:07.800><c> was</c><00:03:08.039><c> just</c><00:03:08.259><c> hitting</c><00:03:08.479><c> buttons,</c><00:03:09.259><c> nothing</c><00:03:09.479><c> was</c><00:03:09.719><c> sounding</c><00:03:10.020><c> right.</c>

00:03:10.699 --> 00:03:14.620

He<00:03:17.520><c> goes,</c><00:03:17.680><c> no,</c><00:03:17.840><c> no,</c><00:03:17.960><c> no.</c>

00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:21.159
x
Like,<00:03:18.719><c> he's</c><00:03:18.979><c> going</c><00:03:19.139><c> to</c><00:03:19.319><c> tell</c><00:03:19.520><c> me,</c><00:03:20.180><c> like,</c><00:03:20.340><c> I'm</c><00:03:20.680><c> confused.</c>

00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:23.039
x
It's<00:03:21.580><c> like,</c><00:03:21.740><c> sir,</c><00:03:22.000><c> I</c><00:03:22.219><c> am</c><00:03:22.419><c> not</c><00:03:22.599><c> confused.</c>

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.939

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.379
x
So<00:03:25.520><c> I</c><00:03:25.659><c> was</c><00:03:25.919><c> just</c><00:03:26.199><c> up</c><00:03:26.379><c> there</c><00:03:26.560><c> after</c><00:03:26.840><c> that</c><00:03:27.159><c> part.</c>

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.340
x
I<00:03:27.699><c> was</c><00:03:27.900><c> just</c><00:03:28.080><c> hitting</c><00:03:28.240><c> buttons.</c>

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.939
x
And<00:03:30.460><c> eventually</c><00:03:30.780><c> it</c><00:03:30.879><c> was</c><00:03:31.099><c> over.</c>

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.340
x
And<00:03:34.599><c> I</c><00:03:35.039><c> still</c><00:03:35.360><c> remember</c><00:03:36.020><c> this.</c>

00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:38.259
x
Lee<00:03:36.699><c> and</c><00:03:36.900><c> I</c><00:03:37.039><c> actually</c><00:03:37.319><c> were</c><00:03:37.580><c> laughing</c><00:03:37.919><c> about</c><00:03:38.180><c> it.</c>

00:03:38.259 --> 00:03:40.219
x
She<00:03:38.360><c> goes,</c><00:03:38.560><c> what</c><00:03:38.759><c> was</c><00:03:39.020><c> going</c><00:03:39.300><c> through</c><00:03:39.599><c> your</c><00:03:39.939><c> mind?</c>

00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.379
x
Why<00:03:40.439><c> would</c><00:03:40.639><c> you</c><00:03:40.840><c> do</c><00:03:41.020><c> that</c><00:03:41.280><c> to</c><00:03:41.500><c> yourself?</c>

00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.099
x
And<00:03:42.979><c> so</c><00:03:43.159><c> I</c><00:03:43.340><c> said,</c><00:03:43.740><c> well,</c><00:03:44.520><c> you</c><00:03:44.620><c> know,</c><00:03:44.919><c> I</c><00:03:45.060><c> was</c><00:03:45.259><c> obligated</c><00:03:45.879><c> to.</c>

You<00:03:46.259><c> know,</c><00:03:46.460><c> my</c><00:03:46.599><c> mother</c><00:03:46.840><c> was</c><00:03:47.080><c> like,</c><00:03:47.259><c> you</c><00:03:47.360><c> know,</c><00:03:47.539><c> we</c><00:03:47.860><c> went</c><00:03:48.060><c> through</c><00:03:48.300><c> all</c>

00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:49.219
x
this<00:03:49.000><c> effort,</c>

00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:51.199
x
so<00:03:49.379><c> I'm</c><00:03:49.580><c> seeing</c><00:03:49.780><c> it</c><00:03:49.979><c> through</c><00:03:50.159><c> the</c><00:03:50.379><c> end.</c>

00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:54.840
