[The video comes on, just a bit crooked, to show a scrawny teenager sitting in tall grass. He gives the camera a business-like nod, and then holds up a piece of paper, covered in blocky, red writing, to the lens.]

This is my bucket list.

[Self-explanatory, from the title.]

Who can help me with any of it? [He tilts it back to scan the list again.] Like, I'm pretty sure fireworks will be pretty easy, but I don't really know where to find a red panda. [A little nose wrinkle.] ... Or a volcano.

[That's it. That's the broadcast. He gives the camera a boyish smile and a thumbs up.]

Hey, man. You're the one reading too far into it. I'm just a normal guy, who wants to hug a panda.

Of course you are. I'm sure it's nothing at all to do with item #1.

[You are, after all, a teenage boy. They are not exactly known for their good decision-making skills. Source: was once a teenage boy himself.]

Just be sure you don't get carried away, all right? Last thing you want is the panda pressing charges.

[admemoriam]

I appreciate your concern for the panda, but she could definitely kick my ass.

[snerk.] Well, all right, then.
