0:36.6 | Hey, Guy Ross! Oh, hey, Mindy! Why are you putting on a ski suit in the middle of the |
0:49.8 | summer? Oh, this thing? Yeah. Well, I was just going to hop into the time machine that |
0:54.9 | your dad's building and see if I could pay a quick visit to the late plus |
0:59.8 | to scene epic. Oh, okay! Well, first of all, my dad and I are still putting the final |
1:04.7 | touches on the time machine, so it's not really ready for takeoff. And second thing, can |
1:09.4 | you refresh me on what exactly the plus to scene epic was? Oh, sure, Mindy. It was a |

2:12.6 | if you insist on going, you might want to take this. Oh, what's this, Mindy? Oh, it's |
2:18.2 | just a giant, woolly mammoth trap. Got it on clearance like three years ago, but haven't |
