I'm impressed.
Yeah?

528
00:19:50,147 --> 00:19:53,776
Well, I realized that
the egg drop was too advanced,

529
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:56,821
but then I decided to experiment
with another special project --

00:19:56,821 --> 00:19:58,823
the egg lift.

531
00:19:58,823 --> 00:20:01,033
And it involves something
they like already -- balloons.

00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:02,535
All right, release!
