Drink a few drinks. Think to yourself, what was that show from the seventies about a teacher in Brooklyn? Remember the show, Google the opening credits, realize that you remember watching this when you were no more than four years old, that you remember the cutaway to some bird flying against the cityscape, this one bird that's been dead for over forty years, longer than you've been alive, you remember watching this bird and the camera panning around to follow it, and now you're watching this bird again. Reflect on something like mortality, memory, pour another drink, go to bed.
