00:28The End
00:32If we are to believe the storybooks
00:35Those were the good old days when men really were brave
00:39Then the world was inhabited by a fearless breed of men
00:43Men afraid of absolutely nothing
00:48That's right
00:50Absolutely nothing
00:53Absolutely nothing
00:56Absolutely
00:56I don't know
01:04Well, practically nothing
01:24Yes, ever since the world began, men have been scared
01:28The brave knights of old had those same cold beads of perspiration
01:32Their hair stood on end
01:35Their hands got clammy
01:38Their hearts pounded
01:41Their stomachs flopped and bounced
01:45Frightened them and they got keyed up too
01:47Being normal human beings
01:50Scare a man and automatically his fear machinery starts rolling
01:54Wakes him up all over
01:55And prepares him to recognize the danger
02:00Nerves go into action
02:01And wake up a couple of glands
02:03The glands come through with a shot of adrenaline
02:06And all hell breaks loose
02:11But it all makes sense
02:14Nerve cells get hopped up
02:21You see more clearly
02:24You hear more keenly
02:28Muscles tense
02:30Your body's ready to act and act fast
02:36But to act at top speed calls for extra energy
02:40That's where the liver comes in
02:42This is the fuel tank
02:44The fuel is sugar
02:47And here's where it's stored
02:49Getting scared gets it out
02:51Out through the bloodstream to your muscles that need it
02:54To get it there quicker
02:56Your heart pumps faster
02:58And you breathe harder
03:01Bringing in more oxygen to change that sugar into strength
03:05And here we are
03:07Scared?
03:08Yes, but ready
03:09Ready either to get away from the danger
03:12Or stay in fight with extra strength
03:16That's the best thing about fear
03:19You can make it work for you
03:20Instead of against you
03:30And now
03:30You can make it work for you
