It's not tall enough to hide the road. 322 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000 It's not even tall enough to keep a dog out. Why'd he build it? 323 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Well, maybe he built it to keep it in practice. Come on, come on, let's go in. 324 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000 It's awfully quiet. 325 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Why not?
