00:00In Joan Didion's 1968 book of essays, Slouching Towards Bethlehem,

00:05the author cites W.B. Yeats' poem describing a vision of the second coming

00:08as the apocalyptic arrival of a sphinx-like, quote, rough beast,

00:11its hour come round at last, slouching towards Bethlehem to be born.

00:15So 120 minutes in the so-called Welcome Center,

00:18and Christina and I can take our coupons and hit the road,

00:20but first we have to endure three discounted nights

00:23in the live entertainment capital of the entire universe,

00:28Branson, Missouri.

00:30Tick-tock, old man!

00:32So did you do come to a decision?

00:34See you at the buffet! Bang!

01:05There was a time that I thought I wanted to be larger than life,

01:09but only because then maybe life would be small enough for me to manage for once.

01:15Baby, could you play along with me?

01:18And if we're lucky, we're going to live long enough to see more dark ages.

01:23Could you tell me how?

01:24Could you tell me how?

01:26Could you tell me how?

01:30It's my fault.

01:31It's my fault.

01:48It's my fault.
