  Speaker 4: No, I rested. She can just enjoy it without getting drunk.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I do want to enjoy it.

  Speaker 3: I have not opened it yet because I had a
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: lot of things going as I was trying to rest
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: this weekend and not get drunk.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: That's how you know you're an adult, Katie. I know.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: When you start saying, no, I have too much to do.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I'll have to put drinking on hold.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I think I'm an adult and I never say that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: You know, hey, to each their own. I guess I
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: just don't drink enough, but I am excited to try it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I just haven't tried it yet.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Would you start drinking more, please?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Invite me over.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, it was nice seeing everybody. The ballet, it
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: will totally sell out, I'm sure. It's only around for
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a week or so.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Only through the 31st.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: It's very, very cool.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: People were flying, and it's... There's a carriage.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Renfield comes in in a horse-drawn carriage. Super cool.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: The horses are people in kind of horse costumes, two
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of them. And that Renfield guy.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: He was great.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He's really small. I was wondering if it was a child.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: It could be, I suppose.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I'm always amazed. So the ballet is quiet. They're jumping
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: and landing and And when that horse-drawn carriage came in,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: it was silent. You can't hear it. I don't know
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: who builds props in that way that makes it so.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: It's just silent.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: What's fascinating to me sometimes at the ballet is that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: what you can hear is the tap, tap, tap of
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: their toe shoes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: What? A lot of times.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: But they still land very softly. Yeah. No matter what
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: they're doing. All right.
