  • Binoculars for all five of us.
  • 00:04:48.010 --> 00:04:49.846

  • 00:04:51.481 --> 00:04:53.716
  • Play began for the binoculars to make their way down to me.
  • 00:04:53.783 --> 00:04:56.786
  • To make their way down to me. and when they did, i got
  • 00:04:56.853 --> 00:04:58.154
  • And when they did, i got those binoculars in my hand,
  • 00:04:58.221 --> 00:05:00.022
  • Those binoculars in my hand, and i was so excited.
  • 00:05:00.089 --> 00:05:01.391
  • And i was so excited. i drew those binoculars up
  • 00:05:01.457 --> 00:05:02.759
  • I drew those binoculars up near my eyes, and i focused
  • 00:05:02.825 --> 00:05:03.860
  • Near my eyes, and i focused 'em just right.
  • 00:05:03.926 --> 00:05:05.962
  • 'em just right. and do you know, i got so
  • 00:05:06.028 --> 00:05:07.930
  • And do you know, i got so close to that stage.
  • 00:05:07.997 --> 00:05:10.633
  • Close to that stage. where i was far away from the
  • 00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:12.168
  • Where i was far away from the stage, it now was right up,
  • 00:05:12.235 --> 00:05:15.705
  • Stage, it now was right up, close, and personal.
  • 00:05:15.772 --> 00:05:17.173

  • 00:05:18.207 --> 00:05:19.475
  • Expressions on the actors' faces.
  • 00:05:19.542 --> 00:05:20.676
  • Faces. i could hear them better
