They almost got us.

He was so, you know, terrified and angry.

And, and, and so, yeah, it's, it's, I, there was a day not that long ago that I was swimming in the river and I was just in the river, you know, right in front of the stairs at the station and a boat came around the bend and,

And I remember thinking, do I run?

Do I go underwater?

Do I hide?

What the hell do I do?

I didn't have a gun near me.

I didn't have the security people were up the stairs.

Or if I climb this, I might fall.

These are people who want to kill you.

And on top of it, you have the... You know, when you see your...
