| 0:00.0 | So I'm driving in Manhattan and I'm driving up Manhattan and I'm driving up Fifth Avenue and you've been to New York. |
| 0:28.5 | You can't walk down the street without bumping into shoulders with people. |
| 0:32.4 | There was no one. |
| 0:33.7 | It was like an apocalyptic film. |
| 0:35.5 | I have never seen the streets of New York empty, |
| 0:38.1 | except for this one guy standing in the middle of the street playing racquetball against one of |

| 1:50.1 | And I got emotional. |
| 1:52.2 | So this is probably one of my longest awaited series of interviews. |
| 1:58.2 | I really actually wanted to wait a little while. I would have loved to bring |
