30 seconds of Eternity

1. Neal is tightrope walking on car hoods!
2. Neal, what are you doing?!
3. For God’s sake, Neal, go to cover!
4. Second shooter is firing at you!
5. No no no no…
6. NO !
7. “Neal!”
8. It is not happening, no it’s not happening.
9. Focus Peter.
10. You fucking bastard.
11. Take that. Right in the head!
12. Neal.
13. Neal Neal Neal…
14. Neal, where are you?
15. There he is.
16. No, please, no. Not Neal.
17. “Neal.”
18. Neal, thank God, you’re alive.
19. Oh… “You were wearing the vest.”
20. Wait, did you just steal it?
21. It’ll wait. For now I’m just glad you’re alive.
22. “I thought you avoided this kind of situation?”
23. I wished you avoided this kind of situation, buddy.
24. God, I freaked out for a second here.
25. And all he thinks about is his tie… Only you, Neal…
26. Give me your hand.
27. There, you’re all dusty.
28. But you’re alive…
29. “Did it feel like a hug?”
30. No, right? I felt it too, you know…

Very nice episode tag - Peter was definitely concerned when Neal was shot.
When Peter asked if it felt like a hug, I wished they would hug :)

This is a great tag to the episode! I like the idea of it all being in Peter's thoughts during that time. This really captures his fear.

I'm kindly tickled now that I've seen the ep (after excrutiating couple hours of downloading it and awful five seconds of loosing the file to library computer)
Interesting style, really good.
