00:25I am here to marry you.
00:27Ha!
00:29What's that?
00:31This is my husband.
00:34I heard that he's strong as a tree and just as hard.
00:41He's Wicca.
00:44I don't know if I'd use the word bonkers so much as just totally original.

01:32I mean, I could open it.
01:33It was glued to my face, the whole suit, because we wanted it to move with my facial movements.
01:40But that made it a bit tricky to open my mouth.
01:43So I could eat, but it was a little tricky and got very sloppy.
01:47Yeah.
01:48But they made me a very nice, cute little bib for my beard.
01:51So that helped.
01:52He has his days.
01:53I have mine.
01:54And we have our nights.

02:06Let's dig in.
02:12I'll be fixing the bed this afternoon.
02:19It broke again.
02:22You've got some sort of scheme going with the natural world, haven't you?
