00:19:10,024 --> 00:19:11,150
Yeah.

[ Laughs nervously ]
524
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:14,487
Yeah? Yeah.
525
00:19:19,283 --> 00:19:21,786
Mmm. Tater tots.
526
00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:23,120
Oh,
that's a chicken nugget.
527
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,538
Oh.
528
00:19:24,538 --> 00:19:26,999
Anyways, here it is,
all ready to serve.
529
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:28,959
Oh, yep.

[ Grunts ]
Ooh.
531
00:19:30,961 --> 00:19:32,171
That's a health‐code
violation.
532
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:34,256
I can't be serving food
y'all made at home.
533
00:19:35,341 --> 00:19:37,718
Go ahead,
get some more nuggets.
534
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:44,475
How'd you get those?
535
00:19:44,475 --> 00:19:47,144
I think the what is more
important than the how here.
536
00:19:47,144 --> 00:19:50,022
I obviously could not afford
to buy the books myself,
537
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:51,315
so I had to get creative.
538
00:19:51,315 --> 00:19:53,484
So, what you see here
is a commentary
539
00:19:53,484 --> 00:19:56,987
on both domesticity
and capitalism.
540
00:19:56,987 --> 00:20:00,324
Uh, as well as socialism
and sexism.
541
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:02,827
If you think about it
for a second,

carrot...or not,
543
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:08,708
it's up to the eye
of the beholder
544
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,376
of the person
who has the eye.
545
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:12,044
I reached out
to some art collectors
546
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:14,004
who notoriously have money
to burn.
547
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:16,674
I sold the art installation
and had enough money
548
00:20:16,674 --> 00:20:18,509
to replace the books.
549
00:20:18,509 --> 00:20:20,177
Pretty cool.
550
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:25,725
Oh, why would you put that
together?
551
00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:28,519
Power clashing.
552
00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:30,896
Okay.
553
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:38,404
Okay, you are gonna flip
when you see. Go.
554
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:40,573
Oh!
555
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,075
It's breathtaking!
556
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:45,077
It's like
our own little Pandora.
557
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:46,328
You know how like
in "Avatar" when ‐‐
558
00:20:46,328 --> 00:20:47,455
No.
559
00:20:47,455 --> 00:20:49,957
It's okay.
I guess we don't have to like
560
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:51,751
all the same things
all the time.

Oh, uh, let's go.

Oh, they were absolutely
killing everything.
568
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:10,060
I don't think a single seed
would have survived.
569
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,229
I couldn't just sit there
and watch that.
570
00:21:12,229 --> 00:21:13,939
It's like my dad always said.

"A real man doesn't
ignore the root of the problem.
