And you nodded, 78 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: and I was like, and I love you. And then 79 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: I continued, and I think I was a little bit cheeky. 80 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: I said something along the lines of, isn't it horrible 81 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: when we ignore those warning beeps and forget to look 82 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: at the big color screen that show says what's behind us? 83 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: And then you started crying again. 84 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: Well, I think there's another lesson that comes out of 85 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: that as well. 86 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: We did hug and you took it. 87 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: Humor helps.
