0:00.0 | Hello America! Here's some news. |
0:05.0 | America! We love it! And here's some more news. Here in America, bigger is better. |
0:13.0 | That extends to everything from the size of our hamburgers to the distance we have to drive to get those hamburgers. |
0:18.0 | Because I don't want to walk anywhere unless I absolutely have to. |
0:21.6 | Have you walked anywhere recently? It is terrible. The point is America is incredibly spread out |

1:24.6 | It's an irresponsible film, irresponsibly sexy. More like Bob Hotskins. |
1:30.3 | Am I correct? Yes, I am Bob Hotskins. Anyway, cars are bad. |
1:45.0 | Maybe I'm being a little reductive there. |
1:50.0 | Cars are fine. No one's ever died because of a car, after all, impossible. |
