   Maybe, if you take the plunge, you could make enough money   
   for a first rate camera and mike. Get some backdrops and do videos.   
   At least you get to meet the guy and have a chat about techniques.   
   Much as you misunderstand me, I wouldn't leave you buried alive.   
   I might slap you silly, the moment your free, but that's beside the point.   
   A sad day.
