"Moorish Fountain."

00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:11.050 align:middle line:84%
I was standing in the
courtyard at the train station

00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:15.720 align:middle line:84%
in LA, looking at the water
in the Moorish fountain,

00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:17.730 align:middle line:84%
when a homeless
guy asked me if I

00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:20.700 align:middle line:84%
could watch his dog
before he just went off

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.130 align:middle line:90%
someplace on his way.

00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:29.080 align:middle line:84%
No one had ever asked me
to look after a dog before,

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:31.950 align:middle line:90%
at least not like that.

00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:37.320 align:middle line:84%
Looking after the dog in
front of the Moorish fountain,

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.210 align:middle line:84%
I had no idea what I'd do with
him if the homeless guy didn't

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:43.940 align:middle line:90%
come back.

00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:50.750 align:middle line:84%
And I write-- and I write of
my discomfort as inexperience.

00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:58.370 align:middle line:84%
Looking after a homeless dog,
in and of itself, seems absurd.

00:00:58.370 --> 00:01:03.670 align:middle line:84%
Like anything, I suppose,
you try the first time.
