IT IS THE SAGA.

I JUST WANT TO GET TO THE GEAR.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

AND I JUST NEED TO KEEP EVERYTHING GOING AS ONE

MOVING FORWARD UNTIL THE VERY END.

I GO CRAB FISHING, MAN.

SHE MAKES ME SIT DOWN, USUALLY THE NIGHT OR TWO BEFORE,

AND SHE PAINTS THEM.

SHE CAN PUT AS MUCH GLITTER AND SPARKLE IN THEM AS SHE WANTS.

SHE ALWAYS TRIES TO GET THE CAPTAIN.

HE WON'T DO IT.

NO, THERE AIN'T NO PAINTED NAILS GOING OVER HERE, NO.

EVERY SEASON, MAN.
