The day before coming back, my mother gets a voicemale fomy father. My dad says, marjory, you won't believe it. We've been pickpocketed on the train. They did an unbelievable job. These are immensely talented people. I have respect for what they've pulled off here. What an adventurer. This is his attitude about life. He's just wired to say, that's what happened. Let's get to acceptance. If he could teach that, if he could mottle it and get all of us thinking that way, the world would be much better place. And so tell the story, ecause you're goin to tell it better.
