He saw it, He felt his 141 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: grandma come in and he saw Nighty go down to 142 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 3: the ground, and he was like, I've got to commit, 143 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: I've got to commit. But then he heard music from 144 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 3: his favorite show, Thomas the Tank Engine. Yeah, so he 145 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: had to get out from under the bed, look at 146 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: his grandma, stuck nude, and then go and watch Thomas 147 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: the Tank Engine.
