then because I was taught by all these disappointed communists you know after 89 all of these English communists you know were all like having to discovering all these atrocities that happened you know so it always fascinated me and then you think about

Um, and I, I ran away, you know, I was, I mean, I ran away to South America.

That was a poor decision.

I ran away from the guy with a knife.
