Summary
Hello good sir! If you do not mind me saying, you look as if you’re in limbo.
Lost? It might please you to know that most of the tourists, and the locals for that matter, don’t know where they’re heading in these parts.
If I could be so bold as to make an assessment, I would take you for the sophisticated type but with a little bit of an edge? Your smile says it all. Nothing wrong with indulging in the simple things in life every now and then.
Do you see that bar over there? Yes, the one with the peculiar name. Mexico City, here in Amsterdam. You’ll likely find one or two characters in that place; the brute who runs the place for instance. On a good night, you can end up in the type of conversation which only drunken stranger can have – putting the world to rights. On an even better night, you might learn something about yourself.
Intrigued? I knew you were an adventurous sort the moment I lay eyes on you. Enjoy your time here in Amsterdam. No better place in the world for a bit of escapism! The only problem some have is not being able to escape the thought of it after they visit! What? Oh, I meant nothing by it. A slip of the tongue.

| 0:23.6 | What was that part two in French, Jack? |
| 0:26.5 | Ooh, lardy da. |
| 0:28.1 | So we're jumping into part two, the plot. |
| 0:31.9 | And it's very different to, we did our metamorphosis episode back in episode 56, I believe. |
| 0:39.1 | And that was a very different type of plot, wasn't it? It was very action-packed. How's this different, The Fall, in comparison |
| 0:43.4 | to Metamorphosis? Well, there's far less characters, for one thing. The Fall is mainly just one |
| 0:48.1 | long monologue from the central character, who we're going to try and kind of approach in a |
| 0:53.7 | maybe different way, so you're going to hear all kind of approach in a maybe different way so you're |
| 0:54.8 | going to hear all of our voices being the main character the main character asks the reader questions |
| 1:00.1 | but there's never a response to them so we're going to do our best to try and make it as dynamic and as |
| 1:05.6 | interesting as possible without hopefully you know just making it just one long monologue. |
| 1:12.0 | We are going to be asking the questions. |
| 1:13.4 | We are going to be going to be going through the plot, but we're going to try and make it as, you know, as interesting as possible. |
| 1:17.8 | Yeah, and it's worth noting as well that so we're going through the whole story goes across five days. |
| 1:24.3 | And we split it up into the sections. |
| 1:26.2 | Each one of us will be taking the role of the |
| 1:28.1 | narrator per part, so as not to kind of confuse who's speaking or anything like that. And it's, |
