So yesterday was crazy.

(6:45)
Tell me about it. I'm all texted out.
(6:45)
It feels like a hangover.

(6:47)
Should I feel insulted?

(6:50)
Not at all! I was talking about the good kind.

(6:51)
There's a good kind?

(6:53)
Yes, it involves texting you.
(6:54)
And the cure is... more texting!

(6:55)
Like the cure to a real hangover is more drinking?

(6:59)
Exactly.

I need you to do something for me.

(11:23)
Do I get to know what it is first?

(11:25)
Not really, no.

(11:26)
Is this part of one of your missions?

(11:28)
You're so smart.
(11:28)
This is part of mission #2.

(11:30)
What do I need to do?

(11:35)
Smart and trusting.

(11:37)
Don't make me regret it!

(11:38)
Never. Do you know the Balto statue in Central Park?

(11:40)
Do I spend at least every Sunday morning in Central Park?

(11:41)
I'll take that as a yes.
(11:43)
I need you to be there at 3pm sharp.

(11:45)
And ...look at the statue?

(11:50)
Sure, why not.

(11:52)
Kurt, you need to tell me more than that if you want me to go. My trust has limits.

(11:53)
Trust doesn't have limits. Either you trust a person or you don't.

(11:55)
Just tell me what to expect!

(11:56)
Something magical.

(11:56)
Kurt.

(12:01pm)
Look, you're not going to get robbed or stabbed or the like. It's a public place and that spot is always packed with kids. Trust me.
(12:04)
Take a friend. Or Bradshaw! He can protect you from the threats that you're making up in your head.

(12:06)
Right. Clearly you've never met that dog. He greets strangers like long-lost soulmates.

(12:08)
All strangers?

(12:09)
All of them.

(12:10)
Even the creepy ones?

(12:11)
Even the creepy ones.

(12:14)
Are you sure he's from New York?

(12:16)
I'll never know for sure.

(12:20)
So will you be there? Do you have the time?

(12:21)
I'll think about it.

Kurt.
(4:26)
KURT.
(4:33)
Seriously. Kurt!!!
(4:45)
Kurt. I'm hyperventilating.
(4:47)
Kuuuuuurt.

(4:49)
Yes! Yes, I'm here!

(4:50)
Oh thank god.

(4:51)
What's up?
