would do it if you didn't, but it's nice if you do.

2:51

Yeah, absolutely. So, from

2:53

one of those people who just shouted, who has never

2:55

seen it before, just shout out a word of

2:58

anything at all. You

3:00

say lifeguard? A lifeguard, hamburgler?

3:03

And did you have one? An

3:06

armadillo. Great. Lifeguard,

3:09

hamburgler, armadillo. It's

3:11

honestly like they've seen the show

3:13

before. Yeah. They're

3:16

like, oh, we'll just tee them up. Gosh,

3:21

I was never a lifeguard. I am

3:23

a bit of a hamburgler. I

3:26

am an armadillo. Did

3:29

you ever go to like, do you

3:31

remember your swim lesson experience? Yes. Me

3:34

too. It was a place called Anacapa

3:36

Dive Center, which has in Santa Barbara since been, I know,

3:39

it was a place where they taught

3:41

people snorkeling. It has since. Okay.

3:45

I learned to snorkel before I learned to swim. No,

3:48

but it has since I went back to

3:51

see my family. It has since been converted

3:53

into a wine bar, but the pool's still

3:55

there. Just behind the, there's like

3:57

a wine bar and then a, a. and

4:00

a door that like they say don't go

4:02

through here because there's a pool

4:04

behind you. Okay.

4:12

I mean, yeah. So

4:19

this is actually a natural orange

4:21

wine. So what you're going to

4:23

want to taste is, you

4:26

know, it's a little, it's not so funky. It's

4:28

got, yeah, it's beautiful

4:30

and sweet. Yeah. Can

4:34

I go there? No. I'm

4:37

sorry, sir. You wanted a wine

4:40

recommendation. That's not what's through that

4:42

door. Yeah, but can I go over

4:44

there? You can go over there, but not

4:46

you. This is the

4:48

wine I have for you, and

4:51

this is the wine bar loving

4:53

hell. Yes, I

4:55

did come in here looking

4:57

for a natural orange wine,

5:00

but now that I am in here, do

5:02

you know it'd be a really good time?

5:04

And I'm trying to just be falling,

5:07

and you tell me if this is

5:09

wrong. Here's what I

5:11

wanted to do all

5:13

along. Let's get

5:16

wine drunk and go blue

5:18

then. Let's

5:20

get wine drunk and

5:23

go blue then. I

5:25

didn't know it's going

5:28

in, now it's fine.

5:31

I want to go swimming in

5:34

this wine. We're

5:36

not supposed to talk about how yet

5:38

there is a blue. And

5:41

I know it affects the tannins and the cells that

5:43

I got told because it's supposed to be a white

5:45

wine bar, but

5:48

it's supposed to be a white wine

5:50

bar, and the little one's using on

5:52

the tongue. And you

5:55

say, wine be wine, but

5:57

we're not allowed through that

5:59

door. I'm not afraid of you.

6:02

I'm not afraid of you. I'm

6:05

not afraid of you.

6:08

Well that's not right. I

6:10

think that now is the

6:13

time. For you and I to

6:15

get far and far and

6:18

far and far away. But

6:20

if I don't keep

6:22

on waiting, And

6:25

if I don't get tired,

6:28

I'll lose my confidence. I'll

6:30

thrill you having your best

6:33

time. Don't you believe

6:35

in drinking wine?

6:38

Open the

6:40

door. Never

6:42

be more. Never be

6:44

more. I guess

6:46

it's kind of quiet

6:49

in here tonight. It's raining

6:51

out those out at Craftsman

6:53

Light. And there's a

6:55

big old sign on the door.

6:57

This is, do not enter, this

7:00

is a pool. What

7:02

do they have in the pool? It's

7:05

you. Don't you believe

7:07

in drinking wine? That's

7:10

how I know it's fucking

7:12

true. So let's get quiet,

7:15

girl, and don't quit it.

7:19

You are watching me now

7:21

and you're talking to me. I'm

7:24

falling, I'm lost to the

7:26

light. I'll be there

7:28

again. I guess I'm

7:31

just a cold.

7:36

And warm? Yeah, natural, and warm. Okay,

7:39

fair enough. Fair

7:41

enough. Wow.

7:45

Oh my gosh. Someone's

8:01

gone to the door. I suppose

8:05

that means we might have to guard

8:07

some lives. All

8:11

this time we've been sitting back here Peter,

8:13

just guarding our own time. But

8:18

now we must guard some lives.

8:20

Rosemary, we have both time guards and

8:23

life guides. That is true. Mostly

8:26

we're guarding time, but now we've got lives.

8:28

I will say it was

8:31

an excellent long streak of not having anyone

8:33

else in this building. Yes, I

8:35

very much like just sitting looking at the

8:38

pool, looking at the infinite

8:40

gaze of time before us, doing

8:42

a crossword. Crosswords

8:45

are hard even when you have the knowledge

8:47

of time. You

8:50

know, it's one of those jobs

8:53

that is best if you're not doing

8:55

it. If you have to do your

8:57

job, it means something's gone wrong. That's right. And

8:59

I do want to tell them, no

9:03

glass, no glass, no glass

9:05

by the pool. Yes, I don't care. Oh

9:08

shit, there's someone else in here. Oh

9:10

my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh, hi. Those

9:15

are much, much higher than

9:17

regulation chairs. Yes, hello

9:20

down there. Hi. Yes,

9:22

hello. Have you just been in here? Yes,

9:26

we've been in here and we've been here.

9:30

And please don't make us do

9:32

more of guarding your life, no

9:34

glass on the pool deck. Well,

9:37

yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe then don't put a

9:39

pool in a wine bar. I'm sorry,

9:41

what? I said maybe then don't

9:43

put a pool in a wine bar. Oh, we didn't

9:45

put a pool in a wine bar. The wine bar put

9:48

in with a pool. Yes,

9:50

it's one of those situations where the pool is

9:53

always and has always been here. Oh

9:55

yes, sorry. And then a number of

9:57

civilizations have sort of risen and fallen.

10:00

around it. We should explain. We

10:10

believe that there was a big

10:13

old thing. Big old thing. And

10:15

the universe time is again going

10:17

with its things. The universe do

10:20

your thing. And growing time and

10:22

space through every black hole. And

10:24

that's when the

10:27

story begins to be changed. We

10:31

believe in few thoughts that

10:33

were once more important and

10:35

then new. One

10:42

more whole space. There was matter all

10:44

over the place but mostly it's dead

10:48

bones. There's never been

10:51

an instant, no breath

10:53

of human time. Where

10:55

this whole one thing's

10:57

been hidden here just

10:59

by the side. It

11:01

often has been hidden by big high

11:04

ones. But it was in the

11:06

light of the moon. This is an eternal

11:09

moon, an eternal moon.

11:15

That's right. This is an

11:17

eternal moon, an eternal

11:20

moon. No, no,

11:22

no, no, no, but I went up, down, down, down,

11:24

down, down, down, down. That's so cool. This

11:27

is an eternal moon. This is an

11:29

eternal moon. Sorry, you're saying the school

11:31

has been here since before the Greeks.

11:34

Yes. This is the school of

11:36

Mayors, this is like 70 weeks ago.

11:38

I'm just trying to get my mind around it. It's incredibly

11:40

fun. There's not a single question. It comes

11:42

to me where I would say yes

11:44

or I would say yes. I would

11:46

say yes. Any language, no matter the

11:48

time, yet it's open here and it's

11:50

always been fun. Yeah. First it's a

11:52

big man, a big man from the

11:54

start. Right. Right away. Thank you. But

12:00

like pretty early on in

12:03

the beginning of a Juno

12:05

heart, this wolf here is doing

12:07

his thing and you can take it now in reverse.

12:11

This wolf is eternal.

12:13

It's an eternal wolf.

12:15

This wolf is eternal.

12:17

It's an eternal wolf.

12:21

I can't

12:23

go very cool. No,

12:26

no, no, no, no, no.

12:35

Oh, you know what? Sorry.

12:39

It's been a while since

12:42

we told this story and something just occurred

12:44

to me. That this

12:46

is not an eternal pool. It's

12:48

a pool infinity. Right.

12:50

This is called an eternal pool

12:52

so that you can delineate. But

12:55

it was originally called an infinity pool.

12:58

So it's like raining. And

13:01

it's an infinity pool. And

13:05

it's an infinity pool. An

13:08

infinity pool. An

13:10

infinity pool. One

13:27

more. Yeah,

13:30

Bobby, that's a Juno. So

13:33

it's both infinite in

13:35

its time step space. Yeah, yeah,

13:38

yeah, yeah. But it's like safe,

13:40

yeah? Because

13:42

I did a big dive in there. It depends. Yes,

13:44

you did do a fabulous dive.

13:47

It was like a back thing, but then by the time I hit the

13:49

water, I was already like this. No, and we

13:51

loved watching it, Timothy. I

13:55

didn't say my name was Timothy. And

13:58

you didn't not say your name was Timothy. Timothy. And

14:00

my name is Timothy. Why do

14:02

you know that? And why do I know

14:04

that? That's what I'm asking. What's your name?

14:07

You have me at a disadvantage. Rosemary. This

14:10

is Peter. And what's his name? Okay. I'm

14:13

Timothy. And what's your name? Oh

14:17

sorry, I was just putting the glasses back. I'm

14:19

Beatrice. Great.

14:22

Rosemary. Peter.

14:24

Timothy. Beatrice. Got it.

14:28

Do you know, I thought maybe you would

14:30

rather have more of like a chilled red. Yes.

14:33

And I brought it in a plastic cup. Oh thank you.

14:36

Is this okay? Plastic is okay. Yes,

14:38

plastic is fine. The issue

14:41

is it's shattering. And

14:43

also it can scatter your DNA

14:45

throughout the cosmos. Mostly it's the

14:47

shattering and this pool can scatter

14:49

your DNA throughout the cosmos. Sorry

14:53

sir. One more time. That this pool

14:55

can scatter your DNA throughout the cosmos.

14:58

Scatter our DNA like. It

15:00

is in itself much like a big bang.

15:03

Oh. It was created so close to the big bang

15:05

that it's kind of a miniature. It's

15:07

an infinity pool. It's sort of always going

15:09

and also and also. So

15:11

I don't know how to explain it to someone who's

15:13

been alive for what? Two, three hundred years? How old

15:15

are you? I have

15:18

a bad sense of time. Who

15:21

me? Yeah.

15:23

Thirty-one. Okay. All

15:27

right. And this guy? Yeah,

15:31

he looks thirty-one too. Is

15:35

that right? Great. Two

15:38

thirty-one year olds. But if we've already been

15:41

in the pool that means our DNA

15:43

is scattered through the cosmos like there's

15:45

a bunch of little us's like our

15:47

children or our clones. I'm

15:50

going to. Honestly, this is

15:52

my honest advice. For

15:54

the two of you, don't worry

15:56

about it. For it

15:58

to even be relevant to. to you, you would

16:01

have to be traveling throughout the cosmos. Every

16:04

human is in a small way sort of

16:06

scattering its DNA here all the time. The

16:08

only way that this is different from what

16:10

you've already known would be like, if you

16:13

went to another world, which you can't, so

16:15

don't even worry about it. Does

16:17

this mean that you are probably seeing existence

16:19

in countless other worlds and countless other universes?

16:24

But like, what are you going to do? Nothing, right?

16:26

Like, what does it matter to you? What

16:29

does it matter of scale and just

16:31

don't think about it. I

16:38

just feel like, Timothy, this is a

16:40

pretty intense thing to go through with someone

16:42

I've never met before. Yeah. Do

16:45

you want to say some like... Like, tell

16:47

me some things about you. My sister's name

16:49

is Heather. Cool. The two of us, you

16:53

know, we did a lot of horseback riding as a kid

16:55

and neither of us do it still. I

16:57

almost won the spelling bee in

16:59

fourth grade, but then I got a nosebleed.

17:02

Cool. Yeah, I

17:04

just, I need to relate to someone that isn't very,

17:07

very old. Sorry, what'd you say? I

17:09

called them orbs. They're kind of like orbs. Because they're

17:11

a little orb-like. Good of you to notice that. Yes,

17:13

we are orbs. We are orbs. We

17:15

are orbs taking a human form. Most people don't catch

17:18

on to that. Yeah.

17:20

Because, Timothy, honestly, no

17:24

matter where we go from

17:26

here, we're always gonna have

17:28

this thing. Right. And

17:30

I'll never meet a single other

17:32

person who will be able to

17:34

listen to me. When

17:37

I tried to say I finally

17:39

went through the door, the door

17:41

that I had never opened and

17:43

never been through before and inside

17:46

there was an infinity pool.

17:48

And an orb went doo doo doo, it was cool.

17:51

They won't be

17:53

like you. They'll

18:07

just miss their staring, waste

18:09

their mouths again and

18:11

still, they won't

18:14

get me. But,

18:16

I mean,

18:19

hopefully you will. Think

18:22

that you're right on the mark, normal

18:25

just changed forever. And

18:28

anyone I could go through with someone

18:30

else is gonna feel as though when

18:32

we had the double. I

18:34

could look at somebody

18:38

and do the coolest thing you

18:40

can imagine. Like I could

18:42

get famous with two of

18:44

us together, writing some incredible

18:46

book about dragons. But it

18:48

would be the second coolest

18:50

thing that has ever happened

18:52

to me. Well, yeah,

18:54

you just gave me a magic dragon. I just like

18:56

that. That was

18:58

amazing. Oh, it's me. You

19:02

won't get me. It's

19:05

right here. You

19:07

will get

19:10

me. I'll

19:13

get you where I'm at. Who's

19:17

been playing Never Have I

19:19

Ever Sunday? And I'll say,

19:21

Never Have I Ever had my DNA.

19:25

Started throughout the cause of

19:27

it. And

19:29

no one would believe you.

19:31

I believe me. And I'm

19:33

still just one with me. So,

19:36

I could go out the door.

19:39

It's not like the father left. If

19:42

this ain't worth us, no one will get me. It's

19:48

right here. No

19:50

one will get me. I

19:54

will. It's

19:56

like we were starting to write a

19:59

line. Why do you

20:01

love me like you? Hi

20:16

Timothy, it's me Beatrice. I know

20:18

it's been ten years. It's been ten years.

20:21

But I had

20:23

to come as soon as it happened. Did you get

20:25

one? Did you see one? I

20:28

got one and I saw one. I

20:30

don't know what it means but today I

20:33

was just looking in my bird bath and an orb

20:35

emerged. An orb came out of my, not a bird

20:37

bath, but it was a fountain. Yeah, what was it for

20:39

you? You have

20:41

a fountain? Yeah, I've read all of your books. They're amazing. Thank you. I

20:44

can't imagine how many dragons you can imagine.

20:49

You really did everything you said, you know? I

20:51

know. You didn't say you were going

20:54

to do too many things. I was surprised with anyone

20:56

that that's the route that my life took. How are

20:58

you? What have you been up to? Oh

21:00

good, yeah. I mostly like live a quiet

21:02

life. I run

21:05

like a plant store. Wait,

21:09

the succulent place? Yeah, yeah.

21:11

Oh. Yeah. Just

21:14

succulent. Just succulent. But

21:17

I, this morning in my bird bath,

21:19

an orb emerged. And it said

21:21

your DNA is needed once more.

21:24

And I don't know what it's needed for. I don't know either. I mean... And

21:28

I didn't know you got it too.

21:30

Yeah, okay, so it's both of ours. Yes. But

21:33

you look great for 41. Thanks. You

21:36

too. Yeah, I feel

21:38

like I've always felt like I was aging slower

21:40

maybe because of going in the infinity pool. I

21:42

feel like I haven't been aging at all. Oh

21:45

yeah, you look basically exactly. You look basically the same too. Nice. I'm

21:48

missing an eyebrow. I'm

21:50

missing an eyebrow, but that's a cooking thing. Yeah, I

21:53

switched where I part my hair. And

21:55

then exposed to cowlick? Yeah. Probably was

21:57

there all alone. Exactly. Yeah. So

22:00

did we go back? To the pool? I

22:02

mean, you and I swore that night that we'd

22:05

never go back because it was too intense.

22:07

It was really heavy. And

22:09

the night after we left, it was real

22:11

intense. And we were like.

22:13

And then we never spoke for 10 years. And

22:15

we didn't speak. We had a crazy time. And

22:18

then didn't talk about it for 10 years. You're

22:24

stalling. Your DNA is

22:26

needed. Once more. Your

22:30

DNA is needed once more. Your

22:33

DNA is needed once more. OK.

22:36

I know what this is. Your

22:40

DNA is needed once more. Your

22:43

DNA is needed once more. I

22:47

know what this is right now.

22:50

I've done it all. This

22:53

is the point when we're both

22:56

receiving the hero's

22:58

call. It's an

23:00

incredible moment. I

23:03

am too scared. I'm so scared.

23:07

I'm so scared. I'm

23:09

so scared. What

23:12

if we don't know? Do

23:16

we have a good time? Do

23:18

we have a good time? I love you,

23:20

Paul. And if we

23:22

don't know, what if

23:25

we don't know? I

23:27

mean, we should probably go. But

23:30

what if we don't know? Here's

23:37

what I know. But

23:43

I'm so scared. And

23:45

if we don't know, it'll like

23:47

something a hero's brand. Our

23:50

DNA is needed once more. Our

23:53

DNA is needed once more. I'm

24:00

not a good man, I'm a good man. Open

24:02

the door. It's

24:05

not a man here anymore, no. I

24:08

was a... a baby toy, is that

24:10

what you were doing? A baby toy,

24:13

is that what I was doing? A baby

24:15

toy. Is that my

24:17

regional California Toy Story channel? That's

24:21

a little fun, though. Oh. The

24:25

DNA is needed once more, I guess we

24:27

all feel alone. I

24:40

sure hope we get some more DNA. Otherwise

24:44

our small planet will not thrive.

24:46

Yeah. One

24:50

day our tiny planet was in

24:52

crisis, and then a gift from

24:54

the heavens, DNA fell, a

24:56

species that consumes DNA. And

24:59

we went... And

25:02

it was plentiful enough to last a

25:04

long time, and we have grown into

25:06

a tiny but prospering civilization of

25:08

small, mantis-like people. Would

25:11

you say mantis? I think we look more like

25:14

armadillos. Sure. Now

25:17

that you say it, it's way more like armadillos. But if

25:20

we were in the water, we are on a water

25:22

planet, so in that way more like mantis. More

25:24

like water armadillos. My

25:29

favorite thing is to become a little ball and sink

25:31

like a cannon. I like nothing so

25:33

much as to become a little ball and sink

25:35

like a cannon. And eating DNA,

25:38

of course. Oh, yes. But

25:40

the DNA has run out. I haven't seen any since

25:42

DNA in ten years. Hmm.

25:46

What's your thing? Go

25:48

ahead. We're going to

25:50

say, what's your thing, and it's gone.

25:54

It's on DNA. And

25:58

it's been found, and it's gone. Anna,

26:00

play, how do you like the

26:02

heat, Deanna? Well,

26:04

I like the heat and the

26:07

heat. I

26:13

like the heat and the heat,

26:15

and I need a new envelope.

26:17

What's the heat? E

E E E

27:53

E E E

27:58

E you get in here.

28:03

You left the window open. Hello

28:07

orbs, it's been some time. It

28:10

is I, the first bird. You

28:14

remember, first there was the pigpang.

28:16

Shortly after that there was the

28:18

pool. Then there were you, the

28:21

two orbs, to guard the infinite

28:23

pool. And then you, the first bird.

28:25

The first bird. Douglas.

28:28

Some people say the first

28:30

bird is the worst bird.

28:34

And they're right. Oh no,

28:36

Douglas, we don't want any trouble. Not

28:38

like last time. I

28:40

hear you're having people bring

28:42

their DNA back again to scatter about

28:44

the cause. Yes we are. How's that

28:46

going? I'm sure they'll be here any minute. They

28:48

may have hesitated the call at first, but only to

28:51

reason through it briefly, and then I'm sure they're on

28:53

their way. They

28:55

may fail obstacles in scattering their DNA, but

28:57

they'll do it. They're

28:59

the only two who ever walked through that door.

29:03

Yes, flying doesn't count. No, you came through

29:05

the window. Damn it Peter, I told you

29:07

to keep that closed. I'm sorry, it was

29:09

hot. The

29:12

pool will be mine. I

29:16

will take the pool. I

29:19

will float in it. And

29:22

that fake duck can't stop me. I

29:26

know that duck is fake. It

29:29

doesn't make me think it's a real

29:31

bird. I know what a

29:33

real bird is. I'm a

29:35

real bird. This is my pool.

29:38

I will take it. And

29:40

then. Everything

29:43

will be burned. Everything

29:46

will be burned.

29:49

Everything will be

29:51

burned. No, you

29:53

say. I'll

29:55

be born. We'll be

29:58

made across the. I'm

30:01

going to get in the pool now

30:03

and I cannot be stopped because you have

30:06

a window open. Please don't hit

30:08

him. It was hot. If

30:12

there's any last words to me who's

30:14

the first bird before I go in

30:16

the pool. You're welcome.

30:21

I'm going to get in

30:23

the pool. Damn it, that

30:25

was cool. No Douglas, wait.

30:27

What about a deal? What

30:29

about a compromise? You'd like

30:31

to make a deal with the worst bird? What

30:35

could you possibly offer me? I will get

30:37

in this pool and I will cede bird

30:39

DNA to the entire universe. Oh,

30:42

you like to be a bird. I'm

30:45

not a bird. I

30:47

will cede bird DNA to the entire universe. Oh,

30:50

you like to be a time orb.

30:55

A green and floating time

30:57

orb. A sweet old thingy

31:00

snake. How

31:04

about it? Would you like

31:06

to be a time orb? A sweet old

31:08

thingy snake. Would

31:12

you like to be a time

31:14

orb? Someone's like eating

31:17

an egg. And

31:19

I'm waiting after that. Someone

31:23

seems to be an egg.

31:25

I never would have cracked

31:27

out of the spell. And

31:31

now the pony's mine. I

31:34

hope you have a

31:36

way to take the

31:38

beauty of mine. I

31:40

hope you have a good day. So,

32:00

everybody with a sign, love, love,

32:02

love, love, love, love.

32:13

Oh, great, Katie. Katie,

32:20

you're about to open the door,

32:22

stop looking at those Katie Toys

32:24

relics. I haven't seen

32:26

this sword in so long.

32:30

Um, uh... You

32:35

know how I said you hadn't changed in ten years? Yeah.

32:42

You're a big bird. You're a big bird.

32:45

And not... Not

32:48

the big bird. GM.

32:51

Hey, big bird. You're a...

32:54

Cassowary, I think? I think you're kind of like a

32:56

robin. Yeah.

32:59

Oh, you're much bigger than I am. No!

33:02

Oh, I'm a big robin. Yeah. Hmm.

33:05

I think I can fly. I

33:08

don't think you can. Dammit,

33:10

that's just my luck. I

33:12

should have told you, things haven't gone as well for

33:14

me in the past ten years as they

33:16

have for you. That succulent sword, it's

33:19

not going well. Of course

33:21

I'd be a flightless bird, just my luck. Hey! Probably

33:24

you should go through the door on your own. No,

33:26

no, no, things aren't going great for me

33:28

either. I mean, my ninth book, Imagine All

33:30

the Dragons, took like

33:32

an extra three days to hit the top of the New York

33:34

Times of us all. You don't have to be nice, Smithy. I

33:36

think you should go through the door first. You were the

33:38

one who went through the door first all those years

33:40

ago. I never would have done it if you hadn't

33:42

asked me to. I would have just stood there pouring

33:44

orange wine, pretending it was good. Well,

33:49

you don't often get a second chance. So

33:52

maybe this is the time you should go through the door first. Okay,

33:54

my feet are weird. Yeah. They're

33:57

honestly scary. You got bit like, you could mess someone up

33:59

with them. I feel like I need a

34:01

mirror because I can't totally picture what bird I

34:03

am. Well, you can look at the, uh, a

34:05

cassowary. It's like an ostrich, but the head is

34:07

blue and like more like a dinosaur. Damn it!

34:10

Ugh. At least

34:13

you can walk. I'm more of a hop-on-ground

34:15

type of bird. Peter? Rosemary?

34:17

Uh, we've got your orb,

34:20

Cole. Mine was in

34:22

a bird bath. Damn! Foreshadowing.

34:25

We're sorry. We're

34:27

sorry small former humans, but we

34:30

are distraught right now. You

34:32

don't understand. Everything is birds because the

34:34

first worst bird Douglas went in the

34:36

infinite pool. We were supposed to

34:38

guard the pool, but I opened the window because it got

34:40

a little bit hot. Peter got hot! This

34:43

is the first time this has happened since the beginning

34:45

of the creation of time. We're

34:47

sorry. We've let you down and now everything's

34:49

birds. Everything is birds. Oh,

34:52

Beatrice! Um... Oh,

34:54

cool! Such

34:58

a bad bird. I

35:00

actually don't think so. I think cassowaries are quite cool.

35:02

I mean, if you saw one in the wild, you'd

35:04

be like, oh shit, I don't want to get close

35:06

to that. And not because

35:08

it's not pretty because it's scared...

35:10

powerful. No,

35:13

I shouldn't be the powerful bird too. They should be...

35:16

You should be the bird that looks like a

35:18

dinosaur, not the one who looks like a cute

35:20

little bird. I think...

35:23

honestly, I think we're both cool in our own way. But

35:26

also, why'd you need our DNA again? Oh,

35:29

the whole town. Oh, it's a small magic planet.

35:31

Armadillo. Oh, right, yes. They're in

35:33

the water though. They eat DNA. They

35:36

needed yours. They needed yours. They probably still do,

35:38

but now they're birds that eat DNA. I

35:42

don't know. Much

35:47

the same here on this planet. Yes,

35:50

except for now we have wings. Still hungry

35:52

though. We

35:56

just wanted to save them because we've grown quite fond of

35:58

them. They're very cute little planets. And

36:00

we need someone that can tr- Oh

36:03

hold on a second. Peter,

36:05

have you had a thought? Rosemary,

36:08

I've had my first thought. Everything

36:11

I've been up into this point was preordained, but

36:13

I think I just had a thought. Thinking

36:16

about my thought was my second thought. How

36:19

grand? It was grand indeed. I

36:22

was just thinking... I

36:24

don't want to get too technical about it, but... To

36:27

combat the fact that everything in the universe is

36:29

now birds, we need something that can be everywhere

36:31

in the universe. And the only other thing that

36:33

is that is... Well, the two of

36:35

you. Because you came in here

36:37

and got wine drunk and swam in the pool. And

36:40

then as I understand it had a pretty crazy night

36:42

after that. And haven't

36:44

seen each other since then? Since 10 years

36:46

since then. I

36:54

mean, I'm not

36:56

exactly sure what to do. But

37:00

I know that I

37:03

think I could do it with you.

37:06

We don't have to dive right into

37:08

the deep end. We

37:12

can go see. So by

37:14

taking you to these last

37:17

friends. We're not birds

37:20

of the feather. We

37:24

could still do this together.

37:29

Yep, that's the noise you make. We're

37:31

not birds of the feather.

37:36

We could still do this together. Gorgeous.

38:03

collaborating kids

38:10

d e

38:22

he youth

38:33

a the

38:38

he is

38:50

new many

38:57

39:02

really me through

39:09

Kaufman anyway

39:22

or honestly

me may

39:44

he thing

39:49

for a thing for everything

39:51

to do does it

39:53

work like that? depends

39:55

what you know about DNA Yes,

40:03

today. Oh

40:31

no, there's birds

40:33

coming from everywhere!

40:36

Um, Um, uh, uh, What

40:39

do birds hate? Um, Orbs.

40:43

Do birds hate? Yeah, that's why they get out

40:46

of eggs so fast and fly away. Um,

40:50

uh, okay, so you two, uh,

40:53

um, uh, Do you? Do

40:55

you? Do you? Um,

40:58

nipotent watching types. But we

41:00

are supposed to guard lives. I

41:03

guess we could be a little orb distraction for

41:05

all these thousands of birds that burst through

41:07

that window. Peter, is it still open? Peter,

41:11

is the window, go check. I

41:13

could swear I closed it. Because I remember I saw

41:15

it and I thought, you were supposed to close that.

41:18

Yes. Let me go check. Yeah,

41:21

it's still open. Hold on one second. Okay,

41:24

now it is closed. But there are,

41:26

um, so many birds in

41:28

here. Ah, ruff, sweet, sweet. Oh,

41:30

but look, they seem to be scared of you.

41:34

Of me? Ah! Okay, now

41:36

they're all flying trying to get back into the window,

41:38

but the window is closed now. Ah! So

41:41

I'm gonna go, I'm gonna open the

41:43

window. Okay, open, open, open. Peter, Peter,

41:45

Peter. Scared again? The window's open. Stay by

41:48

the window, Peter. Stay by the window.

41:50

I definitely will. Open, uh, Ah!

41:53

Good, they're so scared and they left. Great job. Everyone

41:56

did a really good job. Peter? What?

41:59

The window, yeah. Yes,

42:01

absolutely. Okay,

42:03

good. You both put your DNA and

42:05

your intention to make everything normal back

42:07

through the world. That should be good.

42:09

You close the window and no birds,

42:11

not even no birds, not even a...

42:14

Oh, yeah, hold on. Ugh. I'm

42:17

back to normal. I'm

42:20

still a bird. Yeah,

42:23

why is that? Um, I

42:25

didn't get out of the pool. I'm

42:27

still in the pool. You jumped out of the

42:29

pool because you could fly. Right. I

42:32

didn't get out of the pool and there must be

42:34

someone else in this pool. I mean, it's infinite. Um,

42:36

is the, uh... Oh, um,

42:38

is... Can you see that speck way

42:41

over there? Choo

42:43

choo choo choo choo choo choo choo. Hello?

42:48

Hello? Hi. Oh, oh

42:50

my gosh. I've been swimming in this pool for so long.

42:54

Really? Yeah. So we thought

42:56

we were the only ones who threw him in this pool.

42:58

Oh, yeah, no, I get that a lot, people. Um, I

43:02

mean, people love this pool. It's great. It's why I made it. What?

43:04

Um... Oh, hi,

43:07

Big Bang. Ugh. Oh,

43:12

but sometimes I just get distracted and lose time here.

43:15

Oh, hey, Rosemary, Peter. How's it going? Hi,

43:17

Dad. Yeah. Still

43:20

guarding live? Yeah, mostly guarding

43:22

time. Still guarding time, yeah. Great. We

43:25

learned about the window, Dad. Oh,

43:27

yeah. Yeah, we learned you keep the window. Was it

43:29

there as, like, a test? Dad,

43:32

was the window a test? Because it feels like if

43:34

you didn't want any birds, then, like, why make the

43:36

window? Dad, Dad, Dad, tell us. Dad, tell

43:38

us. Um, what do you want

43:40

the answer to be? Um,

43:43

that it was a test. It was a

43:45

test and you passed. But we failed at

43:47

first? Well, that's how you learned from a

43:49

test. That's right, Peter. So I guess you

43:51

pass failed. You

43:53

took this test, passed failed. Great job. Great. Um,

43:57

oh, you're a human man? Is

44:00

that a cassowary? We think, yeah. Oh,

44:04

fabulous. The cassowary is one

44:06

of the strongest birds. Huh.

44:10

Hey, Big Bang? Yeah? This

44:14

is, um... I don't know if you have powers like

44:16

this, but... Can

44:19

I... Stay a bird? I

44:25

kinda like being this

44:27

big, clumpy

44:29

bird. Hold

44:33

on, you wanna stay as a bird?

44:35

Kinda wanna stay as a bird. Very

44:37

quick. Yeah. Are you sure? Well,

44:41

if I could be a bird like this bird,

44:44

then I think that I

44:46

could be sure. You

44:49

know, I don't wanna, um, like, start

44:52

to eat weird things, or like

44:54

use the ability to

44:57

speak. Right. Can

45:00

I just be the bird like

45:03

I am now, where

45:05

I'm still me? Right. But

45:07

I'm a bird with a bird

45:09

like you. I'm the right bird,

45:12

but only some of the

45:14

bird things. Yeah. Yeah.

45:18

Like it's happening now. Right. Exactly.

45:22

Can I... Stay

45:25

like I

45:29

am now? Can

45:32

I stay like I

45:35

am now? Can

45:38

I stay like I

45:40

am now? Can

45:45

I stay like I

45:48

am now? I've

45:54

been around for a long

45:56

time. Forever. I literally am

45:59

time. I think

46:02

it would be fine. It's

46:08

the last thing that I think

46:10

you should take. The

46:12

real thing that is true. You

46:15

don't ever have

46:18

to ask permission

46:20

to the U. In

46:24

a long,

46:26

long, long time. In

46:38

a day like

46:41

this. You

46:45

might feel

46:47

I have

46:49

to stay

46:51

in need.

46:55

You might feel I

46:57

have to

47:01

stay in need. You

47:04

might feel I have to stay

47:07

in need. You

47:13

might feel I

47:15

have to stay

47:17

in need. You

47:21

might feel I

47:23

have to stay

47:26

in need. You

47:29

might feel I have

47:32

to stay in need.

47:35

You might feel

47:37

I have to stay

47:39

in need. You

47:43

might feel I have to

47:46

stay in need. And

48:00

I see you in the pool

48:06

And I see you in the pool And

48:10

I see you in the pool

48:15

And I see you on the floor

48:17

And I see you in

48:20

the pool You

48:23

don't have to say in the pool Oh,

48:26

really? Oh! If you wanna leave

48:28

the pool I

48:31

think you should

48:33

stop playing about the rules

48:36

But say don't go in this pool

48:39

Sometimes you gotta do what you want

48:41

to do And that was a

48:44

test, too! Sure,

48:46

yeah! That was a test,

48:48

you passed the test! Yes!

48:51

Great job! Oh,

48:55

don't I think you're on

48:57

the call No

49:00

one will tell you

49:04

We live doing

49:07

it now We

49:10

feel a

49:13

new one

49:16

somehow Gee,

49:20

I'm gonna be... I

49:23

know last time we had that crazy night And then

49:25

we didn't see each other for ten years And this

49:27

has to arguably be crazier than that other night

49:29

It is objectively crazier than

49:31

that one You're a

49:34

bird, you're gonna be a bird forever Or I guess you

49:36

decide you don't want to be anymore I'm

49:38

gonna go be a bird of the cosmos And I

49:40

don't care about the rules if that makes sense I

49:46

love you, Dad And

49:49

I know exactly where I wanna go And I don't know

49:51

that you can follow me So I think this might

49:53

be goodbye Okay, um...

49:56

Well... I

49:59

got you. something. When? When

50:04

you were distracted in the KB Toys. Oh.

50:06

I bought you something in the KB Toys. Oh. Cool.

50:11

It's not in a pocket because I don't have them anymore.

50:13

I left it on

50:15

the deck. What is it? It's

50:21

a bottle of chilled red. Yeah.

50:25

They had this here? Sorry.

50:28

Is this it? Yeah. That's it. That's it. I think

50:30

you might like it. Yeah. No,

50:32

don't try now. You have to chill it. Right.

50:37

Yeah. I guess it says chilled red, but you have to chill

50:39

it yourself. Yeah. Yeah. I just took

50:41

it off the shelf. Yeah. Well,

50:44

good luck out in the cosmos, I guess. You

50:46

too. Well, I'll be here. But

50:49

yeah. Oh, well, yeah. Yeah. That

50:51

is a part of the cosmos. Are

50:53

you ever going to come back? I don't know.

50:55

I can't say for sure. Wow.

51:01

She just

51:03

stepped through

51:05

reality. What

51:08

the actual fuck? The

51:13

first. I'm the first bird and the

51:15

worst bird. What are

51:17

you? I'm Beatrice,

51:20

the cassowary who has human thoughts.

51:25

A cassowary who has human thoughts. Yes.

51:27

And I'm traveling to the cosmos and I want to

51:29

visit my favorite new planet. Wait a minute. That's

51:31

what I do. I'm the first. I travel to

51:33

the cosmos. Well, I'm the second. Well,

51:36

hi. Hi. Hi.

51:38

I don't. I'm sorry.

51:40

I don't know

51:44

how I feel about this. We don't have to

51:46

be enemies. I just wanted to visit the small

51:48

planet full of armadillo mantis and say hello. We're

51:50

birds. We don't. What do you mean we don't

51:53

have to be enemies? All birds fight each other.

51:55

It's why you never see birds in groups. Douglas,

51:59

that's not true. It is true. I am

52:01

the first bird. I know what it is

52:03

to be a bird. All birds are solitary

52:05

creatures. No, Douglas. Most birds are in flocks.

52:08

Prove it. What

52:13

are those? Um, those are birds. What kind?

52:17

Ducks. Ducks.

52:21

These are my brethren. And

52:24

yet they are so close to each other. They're

52:27

not alone in an infinite void. Yeah,

52:29

why would you choose to be that? Dark

52:34

and moody and cool. Well,

52:37

why you gotta be like that? When

52:40

you get beat different than that. What other way is there

52:42

to be? Oh,

52:44

you don't know? No. You

52:47

think there's only one location

52:49

on the radio? No.

52:56

You think there's only one

52:58

type of way to get

53:00

up and go? Oh,

53:03

oh no. You think there's

53:06

only one kind of color

53:08

in the crayon bar?

53:11

Uh oh. You

53:14

think there's any way you can go

53:16

away? The way

53:18

you're trying? The

53:20

money. It is different kinds of locks.

53:24

You can fly. You

53:29

can fly. Oh,

53:41

you can fly. You

53:46

can fly. You

53:49

can fly. You

53:54

can fly. Oh,

54:00

what a night, no heart

54:03

at all You should be clear

54:05

of life and birth And

54:08

all this is like me, oh, yeah Ha!

54:13

Hello, wake me up

54:17

I'm just lying like a lot

54:20

Ready to touch me and fear

54:23

all the more Oh,

54:26

wake me up You

54:35

can't turn down You

54:38

can't move my way You

54:43

can't get high You

54:47

can't bring that away You

54:53

can't bring that away You

54:56

can't bring that away You

55:01

can't get high You

55:04

can't bring that away

55:10

Maybe if you do not mind I'll

55:12

try to be more collaborative

55:14

when I fly I'm

55:17

flying with you, oh, but you can't

55:20

be at all Get

55:22

on my back to the sun and

55:24

I'll see you And

55:27

I'm just lying

55:30

Maybe if you do not

55:33

mind You can't move my

55:35

way Maybe

55:39

if you do not mind You

55:42

can't move my way

55:46

Maybe if you do not mind I'll see

55:48

you again Maybe

55:50

if you do not mind I'll

55:52

see you again Yes! Hi

56:03

Armadillo! Hi!

56:08

Did you come to see a nanny? Of

56:10

course I did! Hey,

56:16

Douglas! Help

56:24

me! I

56:26

feel loud! I feel

56:28

like nobody looked at me. The

56:40

birds burst and they never saw

56:43

the birds And I never

56:45

checked to see if there was another bird.

56:49

I just assumed I was the only bird and

56:51

the cosmos was great That's why I

56:53

got in the pool to make a whole lot of other birds Only

56:55

to find that there's been birds the whole time! There's

56:58

been birds this whole time! This whole

57:00

time! We

57:04

don't apply so much! You

57:11

know what I'd like to

57:15

do right now? It's

57:18

not what you're supposed to, but it's what

57:20

I think I'm about I'd

57:23

like to fly through the

57:25

cosmos with you But

57:27

there's another thing that would make it

57:29

more cool If

57:31

we were drunk just

57:34

a little bit The

57:38

feeling where you're just about to cross

57:40

the line Not

57:43

whiskey, not tequila

57:46

I'm talking about what? hot

58:07

enjoyed with

58:15

and in do

58:26

will me the

58:41

won'll be me hear

58:50

them know

58:52

on we get me or

58:57

maybe

59:02

Shock named

1:00:00

Infinity times infinity one.

1:00:08

Give it up for God, that's for all.

1:00:14

Give it up

1:00:16

for Brett Morris. Give

1:00:19

it up for Tina Wiccan. Thank

1:00:25

you, thank you so much. Sweet audience, here's

1:00:28

what's going to happen now. So

1:00:30

you just saw the opening, you

1:00:32

just saw a performance, a real

1:00:34

life performance of this musical. Infinity

1:00:37

times infinity one. Golly.

1:00:42

And so you know this is a practice they

1:00:44

do a lot of times and when they're trying

1:00:46

to develop new musicals or new shows, they'll do

1:00:48

a small production out of town, you know, and

1:00:50

then they'll do a talk back afterwards. So what's

1:00:52

going to happen now is we're all going to

1:00:54

transport ourselves, you just saw a fully realized production.

1:00:56

There's a pool on stage, there's a full cast,

1:00:58

we're going to bring out the cast and crew.

1:01:00

And if you want to make your way to

1:01:02

this microphone here, thank you so much. We

1:01:05

have time to take some questions from the audience. I think

1:01:07

we actually have about... If you're not up

1:01:09

yet, that's probably... I think we immediately

1:01:11

filled our audience. We immediately have

1:01:13

a full line infinity time infinity one. Thank you so

1:01:15

much. We'll try to get through as many as we

1:01:17

can. Thank you

1:01:19

so much. All right, so please welcome out

1:01:22

the cast and crew of Many And

1:01:45

who's it for? Hey there, my name is Roger. This

1:01:48

question is actually for your merchandising team.

1:01:50

Oh, great. I love all of your

1:01:53

bird plushies and figurines. But

1:01:55

I'm curious, why did you decide to go

1:01:57

with exclusive distribution of KB Toys? Yeah,

1:02:02

that's a great question. We had

1:02:04

so much fun with the merch.

1:02:06

I feel like there's a lot

1:02:08

of wine tumblers getting into your

1:02:11

mom era. Whoopsies, infinity wine. And

1:02:14

when we were looking for someone to

1:02:16

align with, KB Toys was just sort

1:02:18

of natural. And then we did think,

1:02:20

that'll be good. Let's put them in

1:02:22

the script. So it was one of those

1:02:24

organic situations where my dad is

1:02:26

the owner of KB Toys. Just

1:02:29

one of those really organic situations where my

1:02:32

dad is actually the founder and CEO of

1:02:34

KB Toys. When they came to me,

1:02:36

when my darling daughter came to me and said, we're

1:02:41

not only going to exclusively sell this

1:02:43

merch at your stores, we're going to

1:02:45

put KB Toys in the musical. I

1:02:47

said, this store's been gone for some time.

1:02:50

And I said, but daddy, I have to make good memories. And

1:02:53

wouldn't we all do whatever we can for our darling

1:02:55

children? Thank you so much for your

1:02:57

question. Hi. That's

1:02:59

your name and who's your question for us? Hey, I'm Alan.

1:03:02

And this question is for, I guess, the

1:03:04

writers or maybe the director. I

1:03:06

heard in an early version of

1:03:09

this production that Hamburgler was involved.

1:03:12

And I noticed he

1:03:14

was distinctly absent from the final product.

1:03:16

So I was just, yeah, do

1:03:19

you have any early songs you remember or any

1:03:21

scenes or anything I can? I can remember him.

1:03:23

Not only was he involved, he was a, I

1:03:26

would say, foundational piece of the album.

1:03:28

He used to be a much larger part of the

1:03:30

script. But now you'll actually realize

1:03:33

that the Armadillo Mantis, they're never named.

1:03:35

And they're actually one is named Hammond,

1:03:37

one is named Burglar. But you're

1:03:39

right. In the earlier draft, there was

1:03:41

a Hamburglar came in. There was

1:03:43

a whole Hamburglar planet. We had

1:03:45

a whole multiverse of mascots from

1:03:47

fast food chains. Those were the

1:03:50

planets versus animals. And what

1:03:52

we found was we're having so much

1:03:54

time talking about fast food that we

1:03:57

did stop pushing the narrative of the plot.

1:04:00

And so we had to sort of take a step back. Because

1:04:03

you know contrary, we don't actually have infinity

1:04:05

time. Right. Ha ha

1:04:07

ha. We're trying

1:04:09

to do 90 minutes no intermission. Okay.

1:04:12

Thank you so much. Thank you for your question. Thank

1:04:14

you. Hello. Hi,

1:04:19

my name is Steve and my question

1:04:21

is for your choreographers. I saw this

1:04:23

was the most ambitious amount of choreography

1:04:25

with the synchronized swimming and the traspies

1:04:27

artist and the stunts. I was just

1:04:29

wondering what was your thought process, what

1:04:31

was your inspiration, how was that like?

1:04:35

When we came together to make movies,

1:04:39

we thought what if

1:04:41

every single person in this

1:04:43

play had a- I'm

1:04:46

sorry, I'm still being an armadillo. Yes,

1:04:48

yes. Sorry it takes me a

1:04:50

moment. So much time, so many

1:04:53

times a choreographer comes to a

1:04:55

cast and says, do this thing

1:04:57

that I have made in advance.

1:05:00

And what we have found is that's not natural. What's

1:05:03

natural is sometimes you want to be a ball

1:05:06

and then come out of it so slowly. And

1:05:09

if that's what you feel then that is what you must

1:05:11

go toward. So

1:05:13

what we did is we had all the

1:05:15

cast just do whatever they felt was real,

1:05:17

whatever movement they felt was right. And if

1:05:19

they came out with a little ball, so

1:05:22

be it. If they stay

1:05:24

in the ball, such

1:05:26

is life. Next

1:05:29

question. No, I'm fine, thank

1:05:34

you. My

1:05:37

name is Paula and I wanted to

1:05:39

ask your bird handlers or bird scientists

1:05:41

a question. Yes,

1:05:46

yes, we'll bring them out. Us

1:05:49

too? Are we allowed? We're us too? Okay,

1:05:51

yeah, hi. Hi, my name is- Hi,

1:05:53

you sit. No, you. Hi,

1:06:02

hi, what's your question? Yeah,

1:06:05

my question was... Sorry, hi. Hi,

1:06:08

sorry, what's your question? Sorry,

1:06:10

go ahead. Sorry.

1:06:13

I'm sorry, no, we're sorry. No, you go. You go. No,

1:06:17

no, go ahead. I

1:06:22

wanted to ask about how you were

1:06:24

able to include all

1:06:26

of those birds, especially in the

1:06:28

window scene, and how did

1:06:30

you work with all of those birds and conduct

1:06:32

all of that research? Because it was

1:06:35

so crazy, but it was so cool. Yeah,

1:06:37

they're terrifying. Those are

1:06:39

all of our birds. Obviously

1:06:42

we don't own them, they are birds. Here's

1:06:44

the thing about birds, birds are creatures.

1:06:47

They're animalistic as long as they

1:06:49

are fed, they basically

1:06:51

will do... James and I have a window and

1:06:53

we open it and birds come in. And

1:06:57

in our apartment and they

1:06:59

just sort of stayed there and we kept feeding them

1:07:01

and they didn't leave. And then we couldn't get the

1:07:04

window closed. We're not scientists.

1:07:07

Sorry, no. Don't

1:07:09

tell them. Don't tell them. We just left

1:07:11

the window open and we have a lot of birds. People

1:07:14

don't realize this, if you leave a window open

1:07:16

for long enough, anywhere on the planet. I know sometimes

1:07:18

it gets hot, but careful. If you open

1:07:20

a window, you're asking for a room full

1:07:22

of birds. Sooner or later

1:07:24

they will come. They are numerous,

1:07:27

they are legion. Thank

1:07:29

you. Thank you. Oh

1:07:35

my gosh, they ran away. Hi,

1:07:37

I'm Julia. Hello. Hi, Julia. So

1:07:40

my question is for the sommelier. Oh

1:07:42

yeah. I believe

1:07:44

Charles Von Cluff is the name. I wanted to ask,

1:07:46

what was the decision to get the cast wine drunk

1:07:48

and the brilliance behind that? I

1:07:53

was thinking about how there's that very specific

1:07:55

type of wine drunk. I don't know if

1:07:58

this is the same. for you, but for

1:08:00

me there's a sudden flushness in the cheeks

1:08:02

before I even feel that I have gone

1:08:04

beyond the line and I am now wine

1:08:06

drunk. Now I find that that can't

1:08:09

be replicated with makeup, it can't be replicated with

1:08:11

lights, it can only be replicated by having at

1:08:13

least two and a half glasses without having enough

1:08:15

lunch. Without having enough

1:08:17

lunch. That's key. For me.

1:08:20

So I insisted that the entire cast not eat lunch and

1:08:22

have two and a half glasses of wine before the second

1:08:24

act. Because I needed it to be authentic and I needed

1:08:26

it to be real and if you look under your seats

1:08:29

you'll all see two

1:08:31

and a half glasses of unnatural orange wine that

1:08:34

I do like except for a

1:08:36

few in the back out of chilled red. Now

1:08:38

I find that wine drunk is specific to us

1:08:40

all. Close your eyes, picture your wine drunk, that's

1:08:43

you. And

1:08:45

if you need to be, the theater is living

1:08:48

truthfully under imaginary circumstances. So your imaginary

1:08:50

circumstances are different than mine and there's

1:08:52

no way for me to know without

1:08:55

giving you wine. Thank

1:08:57

you so much

1:09:00

for your question.

1:09:02

Hi, my name is Hannah. As you know

1:09:05

the show has gained a lot of traction on Tumblr and there's

1:09:07

been a lot of wild theories about

1:09:09

the true meaning of this show. Absolutely.

1:09:11

I mean we're so thankful you guys

1:09:13

are finally getting to put this show on. But

1:09:15

there's been some theories. We're wondering at the beginning

1:09:17

if Timothy goes in the pool and his DNA

1:09:20

is scattered through all time. And the two main

1:09:22

leads talk about how they feel like they're the

1:09:24

right fit for each other, they're the only ones

1:09:26

who understand each other. And of course towards the

1:09:29

end of the show, actually I

1:09:31

believe it's Beatrice ends up with the

1:09:33

worst bird and they say like they

1:09:35

feel like they understand each other. Is

1:09:37

the worst bird actually Timothy on one

1:09:39

of his forms that has been scattered

1:09:44

throughout

1:09:47

all

1:09:50

time?

1:09:53

And what does that say about choice

1:09:55

versus death? Hannah.

1:10:04

Hannah, thank you for diving

1:10:06

into this, the appropriate amount. With

1:10:10

the amount that it was intended and the

1:10:13

care that was given. Yes. That's right. Well

1:10:15

spotted. Timothy dies before Timothy and Beatrice slowly

1:10:17

dip their toes in together. So there is

1:10:19

a brief period of time where only Timothy's

1:10:21

DNA is scattered throughout time and cosmos and

1:10:23

then that timeline is undone by the time

1:10:25

they both jump in. But in

1:10:27

that time, up in the corner of the

1:10:30

entire time was a bird, the first bird,

1:10:32

Douglas, who he's there to take on

1:10:34

a bit of Timothy. And what we're really trying to say

1:10:37

is we're all carbon. But

1:10:41

Tumblr, as per usual, dotted in one.

1:10:45

Wow. That

1:10:49

was amazing. What's

1:10:52

your name and what's your question?

1:10:55

Hi, my name is Michael. I have

1:10:57

a question for the costume designer. I

1:11:00

was really impressed by the Big Bang's costume.

1:11:02

It felt like it was like every color

1:11:04

all at the same time, infinitely.

1:11:06

And I swear at one point, like I saw

1:11:09

a memory of myself as a 10 year old

1:11:11

child. So I

1:11:13

was kind of wondering just like how did you pull

1:11:15

that off? Like it was amazing. Yeah, there are two

1:11:17

things at play there. The colors is we reuse the

1:11:19

coat from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. You

1:11:23

might see it was red and orange

1:11:25

and green and blue and blue

1:11:27

and white. And brilliant comes up real

1:11:29

early. But

1:11:32

yes, and the memories of you as a

1:11:34

child thing is because there is, we

1:11:37

use like a little bit of like, what do I call it? Temporal

1:11:41

thread. Yeah.

1:11:44

You know thread? You know thread, but for time. But

1:11:46

upward timeline. We use that. So that's

1:11:48

what the coat's made of. So that's why you

1:11:50

felt that. Because we

1:11:52

use temporal thread on a pre-existing

1:11:54

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

1:11:58

Thank you so much for your question. Hi,

1:12:04

my name is Cassette and my question

1:12:06

is for the main writer and director.

1:12:09

So, was this a test

1:12:11

and did we pass it? Yes.

1:12:20

Sorry, that's our final question. I'm

1:12:22

so sorry. And now

1:12:24

the answer to the test. Thank

1:12:30

you. And

1:13:31

now the answer to the test. Now

1:13:33

you've told me to give it to

1:13:35

me and that you can't hold me

1:13:37

back now. It's

1:13:40

a place of no more character names.

1:13:43

It has the best of walks but

1:13:46

now you see in the test. Does

1:13:48

there on type of a bird mean

1:13:50

what was the type of a bird?

1:13:54

Because a bird is a human

1:13:56

being. And

1:14:00

what was the thread that we used

1:14:03

on the do-do-do-do-do? And

1:14:08

I'll know, what if

1:14:11

we'd stand here playing the drum?

1:14:14

And I'll know, what if we'd

1:14:16

stand here playing

1:14:19

the drum? And

1:14:21

I'll know, what if

1:14:24

we'd stand here playing the

1:14:27

drum? And I'll know, what

1:14:29

if we'd stand

1:14:31

here playing the drum? And I'll

1:14:34

know, what if we'd stand

1:14:36

here watching

1:14:38

the drum? And I'll know,

1:14:41

what if we'd stand here

1:14:43

playing the drum? And

1:14:46

you know, when you play the drum...

1:14:52

You know?

1:14:56

And then...

1:15:02

You gave me a

1:15:04

window button. And then...
