Film Transcript / Subtitles
I learned something about taking care of a watch today.
My watch had been losing time, and so I stopped by Mr. Brzezinski to have it repaired.
When do you wind it, he asked me.
But I didn't really know.
Whenever I think of it, I told him.
Ah, always wind it first thing in the morning, he told me.
Because every step you take during the day jars the delicate mechanism.
You should begin the day with a strong spring.
Begin the day on a strong spring.
You know, watches are a little like people.
I learned a long time ago to start my day on a strong spring.
Every morning I spend ten minutes with my creator.
It gives me strength to handle all the jarring difficulties of the day.
You know, I've been dying.
I've been dying.
You know, I've been biting people.
You know, kind of have to evolve it.
I've been missing from nowhere now.
So long enough, it's time to deliver some springtime if it's coming.
You know, you know, version of the day isn't good.
But it's been amazing.
There's a lot of fun.
There's a lot more fun.
There's also lots of fun.
You know, there's a lot of stories that you have.
There's a lot of fun.
There's some creeps that you find.
