(00:02):
Welcome to town, Avra. I'mgoing to bother you for the greater good
of cryptid Ki. I guess youdidn't tell them everything. Then it's not
a bad idea. Okay, Ithink we're gonna need a change of plans.
Season five, episode seven, regrouping. Making us go to school today
(00:44):
should be a crime. Yeah,this sucks. We were so close to
fixing everything. It's not fair.We weren't close. We never had a
chance. The High Council just didn'tbother to tell us until after we did
all the work pretty much. Well, well, what what's the backup plan?
(01:06):
Don't look at me. It's overor stuck, forced to live in
one of these tiny shutof towns forthe rest of our lives. That's it.
Well, no reason to bother goingto school then, right, you're
saying you want to ditch Why not? I mean you don't have to convince
me, but I think jewels herewill in what wait, seriously, no
(01:29):
point in going to school if allwe get to do with our lives is
live inside of bubble. Let's getout of here. You sure we're okay
to be here? It's a niceday, and anyone could come by and
tell our parents who were skipping letthem? Who cares? Are you all
(01:49):
right? Jewels? Do you needto talk? Talking doesn't fix anything,
might make you feel better, Thatisn't helpful. Hey, what if we
have a brainstorm session on our nextplan the breakout of this thing. I
don't cheer you up. I don'tneed cheering up. I need you guys
to realize what's going on. You'retreating this like a fun little puzzle.
Ooh, how should we try totrick the High Council this time? Let's
(02:13):
put all the clues together and findthe solution. But there is no answer.
This is some cute little game thathas a satisfying conclusion where the good
guys win. This is our reallives, and we had a chance to
fix it, but we couldn't.Don't you get it? Of course we
get it. Whim miserable too.You don't have to remind us. You're
acting like our lives are over.Sure, the shroud isn't great, and
(02:34):
none of us want to be cutoff from the human world, but we
can still live our lives. Youknow. I was looking into the College
of Monorino's online program for computer engineering. I think it could work out really
well for me, Do you guysremember nothing from our history classes. When
civilizations are small, practically everyone hasto devout all their time and energy to
just getting basic necessities to survive.My parents are both high level scientists on
(02:57):
the mainland a few weeks ago,and now my dad's organ ration shipments and
my mom is farming with Miss Lopez. If we're all bously worrying about how
to get clean water and keep ourroads from falling apart and producing the electricity
without help from the human world,they aren't gonna let us build websites or
design cloths or be an investigative journalist. We'll just have to do whatever the
High Council tells us forever. Sothis is what you want to do,
(03:20):
Throw a pity party because I'm notinterested and I don't think that the Juliet
I know would be either. Wellthen maybe you don't know me that well,
guys, we shouldn't fight. We'rea team, oh are we?
Like how we were a team whenJuliet was hiding the fact that she was
possessed for weeks? And whose faultwas it that I got possessed in the
first place? You are the onewho wanted to talk to Sallo. Guys,
(03:42):
it doesn't matter who did what.We're friends. Oh shut up.
You were never supposed to be partof this in the first place. You're
only here because Juliet is hopelessly inlove with you. Mar Oh, come
on, you really think he hasn'tcaught on yet with the way you're constantly
fawning over him. Give me amar stop it whatever, I'm out of
(04:03):
here. No, wait, weneed to meet too. Wait jewels,
Hold on, Hey, Liz,what kind of tea do you want?
Whatever? Well, do you wantcaffeinated urbal something else? I don't care.
(04:31):
Hey, I know you're in ashit mood, but I'm trying to
get you out of it, andyou've got to help me out a little.
You have like one hundred different kindsof tea. Just point me in
the right direction. What do youwant to forget that last night ever happened?
Oh God, I've been there before. Let me see. You're more
of a fruit or a floral kindof person. Fruity, aren't we all?
(05:11):
I know this vote thing feels likethe end of the world, but
it's not. No, we hitthe end of the world a few weeks
ago. This is prerogatory. Now. I had a chance to get us
all out and I couldn't, andthat is absolutely not your fault. The
High Council set us up to fail. That's why I'm sad. I went
to all this trouble to try andchange things for the better and put in
(05:34):
all this time and effort, onlyfor it to be completely useless. It's
like my job search all over again. You're looking for a new job.
I found one after finally passing theged and applying forever and jumping through all
the hoops, I finally got anoffer at a place on the mainland.
(05:56):
All that time and effort wasted.That sucks, man, I'm sorry,
but even though it feels like wastedeffort, you still got a hell of
a lot accomplished while the shroud isstill up. So well. Yeah,
but the High Council knows how muchpeople hate it now, and them there's
a number for how much of townis against them, and that might make
(06:16):
them think twice about doing the samething to other towns. Maybe I shouldn't
be complaining about this, especially notto you. Why not do I seem
like the tough en up sport type. You're not even supposed to be here.
Ouch. Oh no, I didn'tmean that. Relax. I'm just
(06:38):
messing with you. But you're right. I should still be on the outside
with my mom and my other siblings, with my human friends. I don't
really like to think about it.Sorry, but that's what I mean.
I don't really have anyone on theoutside to get back to. Then why
(06:59):
are you doing all of this?It would help the community and my friends,
and it's the right thing to do, and I can do it,
So I can't just not You're toogood of a person. I don't know
if that exists. Oh, itdefinitely does. Your friend group seems to
have a few of them. Justdon't become so good of a person that
(07:24):
you sacrifice your own needs for someoneelse's. It never goes well. Speaking
from experience, Maybe so you aretoo good of a person then too Oh
god, no, people were toogood to me. You deserve good things,
though I don't know about that.I've done some bad stuff, like
(07:46):
what littered, stole a pack ofgum ou did my brother has a crypt
manipulated people to get to the topin college. I've been doing a gross
amount of backstabbing in the years sinceFrancy to live here, and I did
such a great job making sure he'dhate me for the rest of our lives.
I guess I found my calling.He doesn't hate you, Oh,
(08:09):
yes he does, and I don'tblame him. I was half the reason
he left. Well, I'm prettysure the other half was Caleb, and
Francy certainly doesn't hate him. Maybeyou two should just talk. According to
the High Council, we're going tobe stuck in here for a long time,
so might as well make the mostof it. Where do we even
(08:33):
start? Well, you could startwith talking and trying to keep it at
a non yelling volume. Seriously,though, sibling relationships are hard. Oh
hi, speak of the devil.What are you doing home? It's barely
(08:54):
eleven? I thought you'd be ataverage or something. Well i'm not.
Why aren't you at school? Ididn't feel good, bullshit mar Juliet,
and I ditched class ben ooh rebels. Come on, Liz, today is
awful. I'm not gonna listen tosome trig lecture when the world's falling apart.
(09:18):
I know today sucks, but thatdoesn't mean you can just skip school.
Oh come on, Liz, youreally gonna tell me you never played
a little bit of hooky back inyour high school years. I dropped out.
Oh well, then you owe hima few days at least. All
(09:39):
right, just this once, butyou better have called in fake sick.
Oh yeah, Mar's great impersonations.Good to know. That's the tea you
want some, Ben, looks likeyou might need it. Sure, Oh
everything sucks, tell me about it, but we're gonna figure it out.
(10:05):
We always have, right, Yeah, is something else bothering you? Mar
and Juliet had a fight. Oh, I'm sure they'll work it out.
Everyone's a little high strung right now, but they're good friends. But Juliet,
she doesn't seem like herself anymore.She hasn't for a while, but
(10:26):
it got worse today. Not likeherself, like possessed by a demon again.
No, no, she just seemsoff. I don't know. I'm
used to this, like bubbly happyJuliet. But before the vote she was
all stressed and angry, and nowshe just seems so sad. Being possessed
(10:46):
by a demon sounds like a prettytraumatic experience. Ben. Maybe she just
needs some time to process everything.It hasn't even been two months, but
what if she never shakes it andMar's been weird too, showing up super
late to stuff if they show upat all, answering the phone days after
I text them. Mar and Julietare my only friends here at I don't
(11:11):
want them to hate each other.Even if they did, that doesn't mean
you have to stop being friends witheither one of them. Yeah, look
at your sister with me and Franciestill BFFs with both of us. Since
when did I get promoted to bestfriend status? Hey? You let me
crash on your couch for like aweek. Now we're best friends for life.
I'd die for you, bitch.There is another thing that makes stuff
(11:39):
complicated. I think Juliet likes me. Ooh druma. Did she tell you
that? Mar said it when theywere yelling at each other? And how
do you feel about that? Imean, it's Juliet. I've known her
since we were kids. You're stillkids kids, and now she's one of
(12:01):
my best friends. Well do youlike her? I don't know. Maybe
I never thought about it, butit shouldn't even matter, because if we
dated, we'd eventually break up andthen hate each other and not be friends
anymore. Well, you don't know. That's what would happen. It is
what happened to my brother and Caleb. See, but they got back together
(12:24):
and then the shroud tore them apartforever. I don't know what to do.
This sucks. Cheers to that.Holy shit, what the fuck is
going on? She's having a prophecy. Do all her prophecies? Burn down
your apartment. It's not real fire. You're fine. Just at what seems
(12:45):
the darkest night, magic breaks andnights the light with two halves joined and
power great. The wall shall falland alter faith. Well that changes things,
(13:18):
Avra, Avra, are you ignoringme? Are you actually not home?
If you don't answer, I'm gonnacome in. But it's only because
I'm concerned for your safety, becauseI respect your feelings in privacy. Okay,
I'm coming in, Avra. Oh, I guess she really didn't come
(13:43):
home last night. Damn it.I really need to talk to her.
I have to talk to someone aboutwhat happened between Kenny and I last night.
I can't talk to Kenny because well, I'm not ready for that yet.
I mean, she told me sheloves me, and we decided to
(14:03):
fight the High Council. So wecould be together and I kissed her?
But what if I did the wrongthing. I know I love her,
but what if my emotions have beenaffecting hers and she's actually just mirroring me.
What if I unintentionally manipulated her intothinking she loves me, and then
I kissed her and messed with herhead even more. And if I didn't
(14:26):
manipulate her feelings and she genuinely lovesme, that might be even worse.
She's gonna be taken away in aweek to be the High Council's forever prisoner,
and we're on plan like Jay atthis point, to try and stop
them. Why does Auvar talk toherself all the time? It only makes
you feel worse. I could justcall off. She probably spent the night
(14:50):
at Shaia's house or something. Ugh, she's your sister. Why can't you
just call her? There's nothing weirdbetween you, patched everything up and it's
fine. God, I can hearKenny's voice, Sybil, you're lying.
I know that there's tension between us, and I don't know how to get
(15:11):
rid of it. Well, maybeI do know what it's from, But
then getting rid of it means cuttingoff whatever I have with Kenny, which
may happen anyway. I just can'taccept that though. I have to do
something, find a way to breakthrough the shroud or stop the High Council
from taking Kenny away something, afterall they've put her through. I've got
(15:35):
to try. But how coming?Oh Hi, Kendy? Hello? Simple?
Can I come in? Hello?Welcome to Oh Hi? Hey?
(16:10):
What are you doing here? I'mon shift this morning, I know,
but I was hoping we could chat. I've got stuff to do. We'll
should be back soon with today's perishables. Well he's not back yet, right,
come on, it only take afew minutes. It's Wednesday morning.
You're not getting any customers in fora couple hours anyway. Fine, what
(16:33):
are you doing with the menus?Oh? I was trying to figure out
a nicer way to black out thestuff that we don't have. The expo
marker keeps rubbing off onto people's fingers. So you're using pattern tape. It's
called washy tape. And yes Iam, although I'm sure you have a
better idea. No, I likeit. And the colors go with the
(16:56):
border design. Yep, what's this? Nothing? Relax? What did you
write down? All your darkest secrets. It's just an idealist. I was
bored last night and I tried tothink up some new menu options and take
advantage of what rations we've actually gotaccess to. These actually look kind of
(17:18):
good, not good enough for yourmenu. It's not my menu. Well
it's not Dad's anymore, and it'ssure as hell isn't mine. It's art.
Oh yeah, like this restaurant isours. I'm just another one of
your employees, except you get toyell at me all you want. I'm
not yelling. Look, I'm tryingreally really hard not to get pissed off
(17:45):
at you again, because that's notwhat I'm here to do. Then why
are you here to fix this?What happened to us? We used to
be best friends. You know whathappened? I guess I do, and
I know that outing it was aterrible mistake and I'll regret it forever.
But I was a kid. It'sbeen six years, Franz. You managed
(18:08):
to forgive Caleb. When are yougonna forgive me? Maybe when you apologize.
I have apologized. No you haven't. You've made excuses and said it
was a mistake and you wish youcould take it back and all that other
bullshit. But you've never said you'resorry. You never say you're sorry because
(18:30):
you aren't. Yes, I am, No, you're not. You can't
even say it right now. I'msorry. I'm sorry I fucked up and
gave away your secret when we werein high school, and I'm sorry I
didn't tell you that then and justassumed you would forgive me if I gave
you time. I'm sorry that whenyou moved away to live with Dad,
that I didn't fight harder for youto stay and make you feel like you're
(18:51):
still at a home at Mom's house. And I'm sorry for not staying in
better contact after you left. I'msorry for going over your head with the
whole restaurant thing instead of taking Dad'sworries and your dreams into consideration. I'm
sorry for being a shit older sister, Fancy, I truly am. You're
not a shit older sister. Ikind of am. Well, then I
(19:15):
guess I'm a shit little brother.I'm serious, though, I know how
much you've wanted to take over Dad'srestaurants since the day he opened it.
Trying to cut you out of itjust because you're human was very not cool.
Of me, and I'm sorry.I think we've both been stepping on
(19:38):
each other's dreams for this place.Nah, I think I've just been ruining
it for the both of us.I never wanted this place rocks, you
don't. I always thought it wouldgo to you, and that was totally
fine with me. I never wantedthe responsibility of running a large staff.
(19:59):
I like to creative side of foodservice, like making new fruit syrups or
trying out wild espresso drinks, notkeeping spreadsheets about food supplies and making sure
everyone gets paid on time. Youwent to business and culinary school for a
reason, and I did not.So you're saying you don't want to run
the restaurant. Absolutely not. Ionly agreed to it when Dad and I
(20:25):
thought it was the only way tokeep it in the family when it got
dangerous for humans to be here.But now you're here and you don't even
have the option to leave. AndI was just holding onto it because I'm
afraid of what Dad will think.France. You know, Dad's proud of
(20:45):
us no matter what we do.Yeah, and that's the problem. I
mean, it's great to have supportiveparents, but he's always been the one
to react super proud to even thesmallest things. How do I know that
any of it is even real atthis point? Yeah, he does tend
to do that. He reacted basicallythe same way to when I started a
part time tutoring job in college asto when I actually graduated with honors.
(21:10):
See what I mean. I justfeel like if I go back to only
being a barista, he'll think lessof me, even if he never says
it. Did you ever consider thatmaybe the reason he's always so proud of
us is because we're doing things thatmake us happy. I never really thought
(21:30):
of that. He said it yourself, France. We're stuck here, probably
forever, although who knows, maybewe can franchise in the other Cape towns
once they're under the bubble. Weshould do what makes us happy, though
we've already lost most of the peoplewe love, so you might as well
find a way to fill that void. I guess so. I miss Mom,
(21:56):
me too, an the others.I wish I could talk to you,
guys Moore. I think it's beenover a year since I've spoken to
Penny, really, so you mustn'thave heard about her new job, new
job. Oh my god, Yeah, it's wild. You want the short
version or the long one? Yeah, well it's a Wednesday morning. I'll
(22:18):
take the long version. Thanks forlistening to Season five of Cryptidkke Regrouping.

you sacrifice your own needs for someoneelse's. It never goes well. Speaking
from experience, Maybe so you aretoo good of a person then too Oh
god, no, people were toogood to me. You deserve good things,
though I don't know about that.I've done some bad stuff, like
(07:46):
what littered, stole a pack ofgum ou did my brother has a crypt
manipulated people to get to the topin college. I've been doing a gross
amount of backstabbing in the years sinceFrancy to live here, and I did
such a great job making sure he'dhate me for the rest of our lives.
I guess I found my calling.He doesn't hate you, Oh,
(08:09):
yes he does, and I don'tblame him. I was half the reason
he left. Well, I'm prettysure the other half was Caleb, and
Francy certainly doesn't hate him. Maybeyou two should just talk. According to
the High Council, we're going tobe stuck in here for a long time,
so might as well make the mostof it. Where do we even
(08:33):
start? Well, you could startwith talking and trying to keep it at
a non yelling volume. Seriously,though, sibling relationships are hard. Oh
hi, speak of the devil.What are you doing home? It's barely
(08:54):
eleven? I thought you'd be ataverage or something. Well i'm not.
Why aren't you at school? Ididn't feel good, bullshit mar Juliet,
and I ditched class ben ooh rebels. Come on, Liz, today is
awful. I'm not gonna listen tosome trig lecture when the world's falling apart.
(09:18):
I know today sucks, but thatdoesn't mean you can just skip school.
Oh come on, Liz, youreally gonna tell me you never played
a little bit of hooky back inyour high school years. I dropped out.
Oh well, then you owe hima few days at least. All
(09:39):
right, just this once, butyou better have called in fake sick.
Oh yeah, Mar's great impersonations.Good to know. That's the tea you
want some, Ben, looks likeyou might need it. Sure, Oh
everything sucks, tell me about it, but we're gonna figure it out.
(10:05):
We always have, right, Yeah, is something else bothering you? Mar
and Juliet had a fight. Oh, I'm sure they'll work it out.
Everyone's a little high strung right now, but they're good friends. But Juliet,
she doesn't seem like herself anymore.She hasn't for a while, but
(10:26):
it got worse today. Not likeherself, like possessed by a demon again.
No, no, she just seemsoff. I don't know. I'm
used to this, like bubbly happyJuliet. But before the vote she was
all stressed and angry, and nowshe just seems so sad. Being possessed
(10:46):
by a demon sounds like a prettytraumatic experience. Ben. Maybe she just
needs some time to process everything.It hasn't even been two months, but
what if she never shakes it andMar's been weird too, showing up super
late to stuff if they show upat all, answering the phone days after
I text them. Mar and Julietare my only friends here at I don't
(11:11):
want them to hate each other.Even if they did, that doesn't mean
you have to stop being friends witheither one of them. Yeah, look
at your sister with me and Franciestill BFFs with both of us. Since
when did I get promoted to bestfriend status? Hey? You let me
crash on your couch for like aweek. Now we're best friends for life.
I'd die for you, bitch.There is another thing that makes stuff
(11:39):
complicated. I think Juliet likes me. Ooh druma. Did she tell you
that? Mar said it when theywere yelling at each other? And how
do you feel about that? Imean, it's Juliet. I've known her
since we were kids. You're stillkids kids, and now she's one of
(12:01):
my best friends. Well do youlike her? I don't know. Maybe
I never thought about it, butit shouldn't even matter, because if we
dated, we'd eventually break up andthen hate each other and not be friends
anymore. Well, you don't know. That's what would happen. It is
what happened to my brother and Caleb. See, but they got back together
(12:24):
and then the shroud tore them apartforever. I don't know what to do.
This sucks. Cheers to that.Holy shit, what the fuck is
going on? She's having a prophecy. Do all her prophecies? Burn down
your apartment. It's not real fire. You're fine. Just at what seems
(12:45):
the darkest night, magic breaks andnights the light with two halves joined and
power great. The wall shall falland alter faith. Well that changes things,
(13:18):
Avra, Avra, are you ignoringme? Are you actually not home?
If you don't answer, I'm gonnacome in. But it's only because
I'm concerned for your safety, becauseI respect your feelings in privacy. Okay,
I'm coming in, Avra. Oh, I guess she really didn't come
(13:43):
home last night. Damn it.I really need to talk to her.
I have to talk to someone aboutwhat happened between Kenny and I last night.
I can't talk to Kenny because well, I'm not ready for that yet.
I mean, she told me sheloves me, and we decided to
(14:03):
fight the High Council. So wecould be together and I kissed her?
But what if I did the wrongthing. I know I love her,
but what if my emotions have beenaffecting hers and she's actually just mirroring me.
What if I unintentionally manipulated her intothinking she loves me, and then
I kissed her and messed with herhead even more. And if I didn't
(14:26):
manipulate her feelings and she genuinely lovesme, that might be even worse.
She's gonna be taken away in aweek to be the High Council's forever prisoner,
and we're on plan like Jay atthis point, to try and stop
them. Why does Auvar talk toherself all the time? It only makes
you feel worse. I could justcall off. She probably spent the night
(14:50):
at Shaia's house or something. Ugh, she's your sister. Why can't you
just call her? There's nothing weirdbetween you, patched everything up and it's
fine. God, I can hearKenny's voice, Sybil, you're lying.
I know that there's tension between us, and I don't know how to get
(15:11):
rid of it. Well, maybeI do know what it's from, But
then getting rid of it means cuttingoff whatever I have with Kenny, which
may happen anyway. I just can'taccept that though. I have to do
something, find a way to breakthrough the shroud or stop the High Council
from taking Kenny away something, afterall they've put her through. I've got
(15:35):
to try. But how coming?Oh Hi, Kendy? Hello? Simple?
Can I come in? Hello?Welcome to Oh Hi? Hey?
(16:10):
What are you doing here? I'mon shift this morning, I know,
but I was hoping we could chat. I've got stuff to do. We'll
should be back soon with today's perishables. Well he's not back yet, right,
come on, it only take afew minutes. It's Wednesday morning.
You're not getting any customers in fora couple hours anyway. Fine, what
(16:33):
are you doing with the menus?Oh? I was trying to figure out
a nicer way to black out thestuff that we don't have. The expo
marker keeps rubbing off onto people's fingers. So you're using pattern tape. It's
called washy tape. And yes Iam, although I'm sure you have a
better idea. No, I likeit. And the colors go with the
(16:56):
border design. Yep, what's this? Nothing? Relax? What did you
write down? All your darkest secrets. It's just an idealist. I was
bored last night and I tried tothink up some new menu options and take
advantage of what rations we've actually gotaccess to. These actually look kind of
(17:18):
good, not good enough for yourmenu. It's not my menu. Well
it's not Dad's anymore, and it'ssure as hell isn't mine. It's art.
Oh yeah, like this restaurant isours. I'm just another one of
your employees, except you get toyell at me all you want. I'm
not yelling. Look, I'm tryingreally really hard not to get pissed off
(17:45):
at you again, because that's notwhat I'm here to do. Then why
are you here to fix this?What happened to us? We used to
be best friends. You know whathappened? I guess I do, and
I know that outing it was aterrible mistake and I'll regret it forever.
But I was a kid. It'sbeen six years, Franz. You managed
(18:08):
to forgive Caleb. When are yougonna forgive me? Maybe when you apologize.
I have apologized. No you haven't. You've made excuses and said it
was a mistake and you wish youcould take it back and all that other
bullshit. But you've never said you'resorry. You never say you're sorry because
(18:30):
you aren't. Yes, I am, No, you're not. You can't
even say it right now. I'msorry. I'm sorry I fucked up and
gave away your secret when we werein high school, and I'm sorry I
didn't tell you that then and justassumed you would forgive me if I gave
you time. I'm sorry that whenyou moved away to live with Dad,
that I didn't fight harder for youto stay and make you feel like you're
(18:51):
still at a home at Mom's house. And I'm sorry for not staying in
better contact after you left. I'msorry for going over your head with the
whole restaurant thing instead of taking Dad'sworries and your dreams into consideration. I'm
sorry for being a shit older sister, Fancy, I truly am. You're
not a shit older sister. Ikind of am. Well, then I
(19:15):
guess I'm a shit little brother.I'm serious, though, I know how
much you've wanted to take over Dad'srestaurants since the day he opened it.
Trying to cut you out of itjust because you're human was very not cool.
Of me, and I'm sorry.I think we've both been stepping on
(19:38):
each other's dreams for this place.Nah, I think I've just been ruining
it for the both of us.I never wanted this place rocks, you
don't. I always thought it wouldgo to you, and that was totally
fine with me. I never wantedthe responsibility of running a large staff.
(19:59):
I like to creative side of foodservice, like making new fruit syrups or
trying out wild espresso drinks, notkeeping spreadsheets about food supplies and making sure
everyone gets paid on time. Youwent to business and culinary school for a
reason, and I did not.So you're saying you don't want to run
the restaurant. Absolutely not. Ionly agreed to it when Dad and I
(20:25):
thought it was the only way tokeep it in the family when it got
dangerous for humans to be here.But now you're here and you don't even
have the option to leave. AndI was just holding onto it because I'm
afraid of what Dad will think.France. You know, Dad's proud of
(20:45):
us no matter what we do.Yeah, and that's the problem. I
mean, it's great to have supportiveparents, but he's always been the one
to react super proud to even thesmallest things. How do I know that
any of it is even real atthis point? Yeah, he does tend
to do that. He reacted basicallythe same way to when I started a
part time tutoring job in college asto when I actually graduated with honors.
(21:10):
See what I mean. I justfeel like if I go back to only
being a barista, he'll think lessof me, even if he never says
it. Did you ever consider thatmaybe the reason he's always so proud of
us is because we're doing things thatmake us happy. I never really thought
(21:30):
of that. He said it yourself, France. We're stuck here, probably
forever, although who knows, maybewe can franchise in the other Cape towns
once they're under the bubble. Weshould do what makes us happy, though
we've already lost most of the peoplewe love, so you might as well
find a way to fill that void. I guess so. I miss Mom,
(21:56):
me too, an the others.I wish I could talk to you,
guys Moore. I think it's beenover a year since I've spoken to
Penny, really, so you mustn'thave heard about her new job, new
job. Oh my god, Yeah, it's wild. You want the short
version or the long one? Yeah, well it's a Wednesday morning. I'll
