Whether we have the resolve to continue 15 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: on in the face of that failure? Yes? Yes, now donight? 16 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: If while you sleep, tell yourself that you didn't see 17 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: anything strange in your dream the slightest operation. Perhaps the 18 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: dog is weak, cherry kool aid is raining from the sky. 19 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Tell yourself you will notice disapperation, and by noticing, will 20 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: remind yourself that you're dreaming. In that moment, you'll become lucid. 21 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: You understand now. Such was Perry's predicament in the dreamlike 22 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: world of Absenture. As you'll recall, he had barely escaped 23 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: sludgist clutch, stolen his power wielding glasses, and sent his 24 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: return signal back to San Francisco on the pocket watch. 25 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: He now had fifteen minutes to get to the invisible 26 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: keyhole to complete the extraction. The plum proved to be 27 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: no passive partner in the proceedings. Surrounding Perry in a 28 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: cocoon of cocoanut and laven. Left blind to everything but 29 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: the inside of the cozy, quiet cockoo, Parry relied on 30 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the plums pur to guide him onto his destination. After 31 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: five minutes, the plums enthusiasm slowed. Then hold it all together. 32 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: Parry paused, held a watch above his head. The plum 33 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: remained still. He swiveled a quarter turn. The plum began 34 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: to purr again. Parry darted off in that direction. The 35 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: ground began to rise. He was on the slope. Perry 36 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: had no idea where sludge was, whether he was following, watching, 37 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: waiting for him. At the summit, the incline grew steeper. 38 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Perry leaned into it, the change in the temperature he 39 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: was in the mountain. He pushed forward to the white 40 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: water of sucks up the winding staircase. The plums started 41 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: dancing madly in his hand. Come out, come out wherever 42 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: you are, rabbityamty girl. Perry leaped. Jady's voice was like 43 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: a hiss in his ear, but Perry was still alone 44 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: in the cocoon. A cheeny, wheepy, so cleanfully breath and stays. 45 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: Perry checked plum three minutes in cutting the shades of 46 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: Nuance was suddenly in his hand. Tack, tick, talk, break 47 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: your glasses, j D. That not be smart, Perry, Yeah, 48 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: why's that? Maybe you don't force you to give me 49 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: peer don't don't do that. There was panic and Jady's voice. 50 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: If you give them back, I'll let you go Perry unharmed. 51 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: Perry checked the plug two minutes What about revenge the invasion? 52 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: All it's old time and proper order, rabbit. You can 53 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: still be of assistance to me on the other side. 54 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: What do you mean place the glasses on the ground 55 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: back away. Send Benny, next, Penny, Why Benny, he's too big? 56 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,119 Speaker 1: Figure it out. Perry checked plump one minute, didn't counter. 57 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: He took her deep breath, placed j D's glasses on 58 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: the crowd. He took seven steps backwards and hit the 59 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: signal on the plump. The mischievaporated, leaving Perry fully exposed 60 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: on the summit. The keyhole was directly above his head, 61 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: sacks cascading down on. J D was standing near yards back, 62 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: unaware Perry had reappeared. Kerry watched him for a moment 63 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: and feelings so Jady looked even sicklier without his glasses. 64 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: J D leaped turned. He quickly sized up the situation, 65 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: the glasses, Perry, the distance between them. You are way 66 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: too trusting, Perry Akiyama head again. Yeah about that middle name. 67 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: J D voted for the glasses. I'm going to resurrect 68 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: that sucker. J D leaped for the glasses, but just 69 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: before he could reclaim his prize, the specs inexplicably leaped 70 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: off the ground, sword backwards and landed softly in the 71 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Perry's hand. What very little glasses dropped, They stopped in midair, dangling. 72 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: He winked revealing the almost imperceptible yoyo string tied to 73 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: his finger, the other end latched to the tape bridge 74 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: of j D Specs, three times champion at Saint x Blasco. 75 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: Got absolutely no da gama on me back, tell me 76 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: right now. Jady's eyes went to oil black, and he 77 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: charged madly, very calmly, yanked out the carrot. It was 78 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: glowing like a Roman candle about. He raised it high 79 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: above his head. J D threw himself and Perry, rubbing 80 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: his entire body A honestly, you're not going anywhere, rabbits 81 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: Katie green, very green, right back. Jeddy's eyes widened and hard. 82 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: He released Perry just as the bullwhip of light lit 83 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: up the sky, latching under the carrot, whipping Perry back 84 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: up into the keyhole, but now in order first to 85 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: venture firebly onwards to the resolution of Perry's londronautical proper 86 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: children and was first briefly bound backwards. In Times San Francisco, 87 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: just before Jonaka was awakened by Perry's signal, Janica had 88 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: just returned from an extremely unsatisfying emergency laundron not meeting 89 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: called by Mona, I'm in favor of the rhino. Perry's 90 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: parents were returning soon. Decisions needed to be made. Benny 91 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: a k A.

Benny was beyond excited with 94 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: the results. Jonathan was not entused on married abone. I 95 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: should deeps on the next incourasion. I just find socks. 96 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm killing with Charlie in his dreams. I'm Parry's liaison. 97 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: I think she voiced none of this out loud, of course, 98 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: well groomed by her mother Lafleete, she knew to always 99 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: sucrefice your needs. T was the needs of the whole. 100 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: What do we say when you get lost? Genesee Coffin 101 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: happy homemaker is a mannabble. She will always respond with 102 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: an amen to the majority right and then ah so. 103 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: Jonnicha remained amenable, voted along with the group and return home. 104 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: And at four thirty three am Wednesday, April one nine, 105 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: as her eyes were beginning to close, Plump two's alarm 106 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: went off on her nightstand like a tin woodpecker on 107 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: a crystal tree. Jonnaicer sprang humor like in action. She 108 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: slipped on her pree prepared clothes, pulled out her prepacked 109 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: go back from an either bed one next to her 110 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: prepacked day bag, and turned it out the window. She 111 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: sprinted all the way to the washertium and arrived drenched 112 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: and sweat chugging icy clouds into the air. Janica had 113 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: to shimmy up the drain pipe and unlutched the window 114 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: they had left unlocked. She dropped inside and checked the plug. 115 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: Five minutes. She clicked on her flashlight and cooked down 116 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: the hallway to the main room, swinging her beam around 117 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: the corner to the jumbotrok. Large mouthed and lurking, she 118 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: unlocked the door of the machine, checked flood. Four minutes 119 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: and counting. She stipped back down the hallway and found 120 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: a bucket and mop. Happy homemaker is always prepared for 121 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: any ventureround, she wheeled it back to the main room, 122 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: swinging her beam around the corner. Good old man curled 123 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: up at the foot of the jumbo trok. He was 124 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: wrapped dinner jumble of wet blankets, lying in a pool 125 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: of water. His face was a tangled tumble with the 126 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: whiskers and filth. The hair He was staring so loudly 127 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: it was like banging pipe beneath the floor, but his 128 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: face remained serene, like an infant. Jonica gently shook him. 129 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: Something caught in his throat, the froth a weeds. Then 130 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: he stopped reading all together. Jonka prepared to administer her CPR, 131 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: and the man hiccup and released the foul cloud of 132 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: wretchedness into the air. Jonica retreated, trying to disperse the 133 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: plume of noxiousness with fanning a hand. The man's side 134 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: rolled over, and the banging her pipes begin again with 135 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: renewed vigor, if not purpose. She checked plum three minutes. 136 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: She gritted her teeth and kicked the man in the ribs. 137 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: He set up white eyes, hacked up something solid, something 138 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: he immediately re swallowed, then hawked up a large ball 139 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: of olive green, hawking directly onto Jonica's boot. Jonica leaped back. 140 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: The man recoiled in terror. Don't hurt me. His voice 141 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: was like a rusty door on a broken hinge. There 142 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: was something familiar about him. His eyes, or lack there 143 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: all he kept them conspicuously averted from Jonica. Now she 144 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: ain't the police. Now get up and get out the 145 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: man stooard, but remained in front of the unlocked jumbo trump. 146 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: Then what you're doing here? Jonica checked plum. One minute, 147 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: I seen my laundry. Were you close? His eyebrows converged 148 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: like a couple of conspiring caterpillars. She grabbed his shirt 149 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: and tried to drag him away, but only managed to 150 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: rip his shirt and half. Jonica pointed behind him. He turned, 151 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: She shoved him aside and went out the orange pin. 152 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: She squeezed the ink into the machine, his bubble, the flash, 153 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: the wind. He ducked. The old man turned her shut 154 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: out of the machine into the old land. They crashed 155 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: to the floor in a tangle of bodies, blankets and 156 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: bubble water, And here children, as promised, at least foreshadow 157 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: that we pivot back to the deliciously delirious Denomon of 158 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: the Longdornautical of Periucky on my head again, a k a. 159 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: The Rabbit. Perry's entrance from absentia was far more painful 160 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: than his entrance into say, it didn't help that he 161 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: had barely escaped with his life, or that he fully 162 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: expected to have j D in tow. As he described 163 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: it later, I smiled, I couldn't help it. I knew 164 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: the trip would make j D hopping mad? Did he 165 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: try to stop me? Grabbed me? And he did? I 166 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: got so excited I smiled give it away. None of 167 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: that matter at the moment that Perry was currently falling 168 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: over a foul smelling old man and what appeared to 169 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: be too suffing serpents in the swamp of Sophy suddy water. 170 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: Very turned like a wind child Ja Johnica leaped into 171 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: his arms. Amazingly, he caught her. He had the urge 172 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: to twirl her like a baton. He kissed, turns it. 173 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: Jonica wrapped him in an embrace so all encompassing a 174 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: Parry no longer knew where she began, and he ended. 175 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: I gotta get a room. They were wrenched back to reality. 176 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: Who is he? He was sleeping when I got him? 177 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: Help kick him? What wardrobe? The man lumbered towards the door, 178 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: his blankets leading a snailed trail of sudsy water on 179 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: a stone floor. He stopped, I'm sorry for hurting you, 180 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: and continued on are you He's straightened, but didn't turn 181 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,479 Speaker 1: neberty important. He stepped out with one of his blankets 182 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: snagged on a straight Maio, joking him back into the room, 183 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: suckling how do you and spun to them, revealing his 184 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: eyes fully for the first time. They were honey bee yellow, 185 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: fierce and piercing. He tugged the blanket, shot, ripping it 186 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: on the nail, and vanished into the night. Left behind 187 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: was a torn swatch of wet blanket. Jonaka shuffled over 188 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: and retrieved the abandoned soldier. I think that was the 189 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: hoover from Harry's heart ware I told you about. Jonica 190 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: turned back to him, and there was then that many dreams, desires, 191 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: and fears coalesced inside, and he realized it was happening 192 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: while he was dressed as a sock so perry AND's hip. 193 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: The air hit him like a tropical breeze, sucking up 194 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: the sweat, sending a shiver galloping across his new body. 195 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: He saw the change first in Jonica's eyes, look he 196 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: had never seen before in the eyes of a girl, 197 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: especially a girl looking at him. My taller, Yes, do 198 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: I look different? Yes? Is he good? Perry began to cry. 199 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: The sudden ferocity buckled him, dropped him to his knees. 200 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: It was so violent he thought he might break then 201 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: hands were on his back, Jonica's hands, pulling him back 202 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: to his feet. And it was then as Perry rose 203 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: next to Jonica, taking full possession of the space he 204 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: now owned on this planet. It was then that he 205 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: realized he was still Mount Perry, because Jonica, his once 206 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: eye to eye ally, was now looking up at him 207 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: to the valet of his now mighty chest. He stumbled backwards. 208 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: I don't feel right. Jonica was already wrapping him in 209 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: a blanket, lowering him to the stone floor. A thief 210 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: had him in its throat. He could feel it emanating 211 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: from his bones. He would take root, turn his blood 212 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: to slush, gains to icicle mabe. Maybe he could not 213 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: form the words through his clattering teeth. What Harry, what 214 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: do we do? I don't, I don't, I don't. She 215 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: tried to hold his shoulders. Can't carre it the efforts 216 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: of a new film convulsion. Jonica sprang for the socks, 217 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: fumbled through the pockets, flinging items, the yo yo, the glasses, 218 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: the map that harrot. She sensely shut down like a 219 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: few burning out doctors descended. He was sinking. Ice was 220 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: forming above him, Jonica standing it with the orange head, 221 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: her face melting and shattering into piece Joe. The fire 222 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: shot through Perry, releasing a can you hear me? He could, 223 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: but he couldn't get his tongue to work. Jonica, who 224 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: was backing away, tears on her face. I had to 225 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: hurt you. He shook his head. I could see the 226 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: going out. Finally, words or some semblance thereof. He reached 227 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: out for her, but she continued to back away. She 228 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: pointed to his chest. Perry touched the spot and looked 229 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: at his hand blood. He swooned again. I didn't know 230 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: what else to do. She began dressing his wound. The 231 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: touch was serious, and the Perry didn't mind. The warmth. 232 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: Family returned to his body and he stood on shaky legs. 233 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: Jonica stepped the black. What happened, Perry? My middle name 234 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: is Akiyama, Okay and Japanese American? Yeah, we all know. Back, 235 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: I guess I did it. The laughter eased the tensions 236 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: in the room. After it's subsided, they gathered up the thing, 237 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: and Parry took Jonathan's hand and walked her all the 238 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: way home. Can I hear usually right now? Fine? A 239 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: home crown? A bone shone blonezones of tone, telephone bones 240 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: and tones in their months alone. Perry gave her a 241 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: grateful hug. Hang on to that, you'll need it. What 242 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: do you mean? Perry kissed her on the cheek, and 243 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: then he walked all the way back to his own home. 244 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: And as he passed Mount Davidson, the morning sun glittering 245 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: off it's towering summer nine hundred and twenty eight feet 246 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: in the air, Perry raised his fist up to it 247 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: and shouted the fire I mounts Perry and a rabbit laugh. 248 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: And what happened next her? And that was the end 249 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: of the loundern article of Perry Hucky on my hanagan 250 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: iking the rabbit. What about Slurge asking Perry to join 251 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: him as an ally and wanting Perny to go in next. 252 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: We did not discover either of those two facts until 253 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: much later. Why Perry, light you, sir? It was more 254 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: a sinem omission, friar not unlike Nick and Mona and 255 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: their secret kiss on the mountain. Why would they do that? 256 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: Hard to say? Why people omit dear fear DoD embarrassment 257 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: to table memory. Perry was debriefed, of course, questions were asked, 258 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: but When pressed for his written account, Perry complained of 259 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: needing more time. It was Charlie Evans once again who 260 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: called us back to action. Indeed, so settled against sticklings 261 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: and prepare yourselves for the Londron article of Jonica Veronical 262 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: of fleet code name Jonnica. I thought he said he 263 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: was warty to go in next to a Benny was 264 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: voted to go in next. Nice settle was that begin 265 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: the London article of Jonaica Veronical of fleet code named 266 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: the Puma, submitted into the London Art Animals Monday, May fourth, 267 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: nine thirty nine. Jonica was not expecting the deluge of 268 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: dream correspondence she received Charlie Evan. She was barely expecting 269 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: a trickle. Everything poured out of Charlie's head he wrote 270 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: down and presented to Jonica when they met. Adding to 271 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: this tsunami of politicity was Charlie's horrible penmanship, of which 272 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: he was tremendously a shape. So he insisted on reading 273 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: his missus out loud while Jonica sat by and listened 274 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: to patiently. Ever, the happy homemaker Jonnica used the time 275 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: to li Charlie socks, hats, matins, mufflers, and scars, and 276 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: then I just kind of walked around in the circle 277 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: for a while until the oatmeals and the peanut butter, 278 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: and then I started swimming and chi. Yeah, let's keep 279 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: these j D pertinent. What does that mean If it 280 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with D, I don't want 281 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: to hear it. Oh, okay, I got you. Hey, thanks 282 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: for the scarf. By the way, it's a little short though. 283 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: Don't you think that's because it's a sock. Oh, I'm 284 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: looking on the other one. See rainbow striped. Nothing wrong 285 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: with some color. I ate a piece of juicy fruit. No, 286 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: you are more beef jerky. Was that a joke? Yes? Okay, 287 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: I gotta go fire. Jonico was lying she was late 288 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: for her next longer enough media. Three cheers from parryaki 289 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: yama hennigan ok y I see you managed to unearth 290 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: your mysterious middle named Perry. I did, Nick, I also 291 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: unearthed my mother tongue. So a blessing as no knockany eiko? No, 292 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: that mean may a thousand bees nestle in your nether regions. 293 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like Harry. Bring forth the items. Perry 294 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: stepped forward and place j D spectacles this map from 295 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: absentia on the floor. We gathered around reverentially stupid taped 296 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: up glasses. Why are they so important? I don't know, 297 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: but he wanted them back real bad and he definitely 298 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: headless power tell them. I called them the shades of Nuance. 299 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Nit huh. Let's see that map, I said, excitedly, being 300 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: an average tuk off for myself. It's still a work 301 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: in progress. Very nervously note and I wrote the handgrown 302 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: map he had been working on diligently since his return. 303 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: Mona no next year. Mean chased it with her index finger. 304 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: So this is where the clocks went with the imprisoned sockling. Yes, 305 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: I call it Cataclusmina. I'm marked the trail right to it. 306 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: This is sock Mountain, this is rainbow stripes plane the 307 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: ominous Force. And this is when the city of Flocks 308 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: came out of the ground. What's that right there? Jonica 309 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: pointed to a large object drawn in the middle of 310 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: the forward. Is it another mountain? Wait? Is that your 311 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: face on it? Perry? That's a mistake. Perry snatched up 312 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: the map. It's not yet stuffed it back into a bag. 313 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: The favorite again, Perry. Nope, We've all kind of been 314 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: wondering about what. Why did it? Mona and I get 315 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: sick when we return from absentia. Don't know, really, no 316 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: thoughts on the matter, nada, any after effects from being 317 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: stabbed by the carrot. I asked, Nope, you sure you're okay? 318 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: Perry House Charlie same. I noticed he has a new 319 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: pair of mittens and a matching muffler, so we backed 320 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: away from the pair. Not unlike Nick and Mona's relationship, 321 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: the Jessaka and Perry diet had also taken on new 322 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: complexities upon Perry's return.
