- Would you wanna be in a wheelchair all the time?
- No. - Yes.
- Yes?
- Then my feet would never get tired.
- Never get tired.
(cheerful music)
Hi.
- [Crystal] Hi.
- My name is Amine.
- It's nice to meet you, Amine.
I'm Crystal. - Nice to meet you.
- Georgia.
- Georgia, nice to meet you.
- Desmond.
- Desmond, Amine, you can go stronger.
(laughing)
You guys know why you're here?
(mumbling)
- Yeah, you can look at me.
Is there anything you guys wanna ask me?
- You ask him questions.
- Why are you in a wheelchair?
You look like a pretty strong dude.
- Strong, I have muscular dystrophy.
It causes my muscles to get weak over time.
- Okay. - Oh no.
- That sounds really, really, really bad.
- Can you walk?
- No, I can't walk.
- How do you go to the bathroom?
- Number one or number two?
(laughing)
- Man, I was thinkin' that when I first came in here.
- Stand up, pull my pants down.
(laughing)
Do my business.
- Have you ever fallen?
- Yes, actually I did once.
I fell kind of between the toilet and the bathroom.
- Ouch. - Ooh.
- Yeah.
- How do you get dressed?
- Like, do you guys get help from your mom?
- Yeah. - No.
- No?
- I don't.
- That is a total lie.
- I have an assistant who comes
every morning around six a.m.
Helps me with my socks, my pants, my shirt.
- So, they come to your house before you wake up.
You don't have your door locked?
- They have a key.
- What are the perks of being in a wheelchair?
- You get really good parking.
- Yeah, there's wheelchair parking.
- I get to go through the TSA--
- Oh really? - Faster.
- When we're going everywhere,
we have to wait in a giant security line.
- It's really annoying.
- Can you swim?
- I don't know how to swim.
- Could you still play tag?
- No.
- I'm not really good at tag, but I can still play.
What are you lookin' at?
My hands?
What do you think of my hands?
- They're really long.
- Are the muscles in your fingers deteriorating as well?
- Yeah, it's because the muscles here
are deteriorating faster than the muscles here.
- [Kids] Oh!
- So these muscles are actually strong,
so I can do that, but I can't lift my wrist.
- Oh no.
- Yeah.
- How do you drink bottle?
- You mean because of my hands?
- [Man In White] Do you wanna hand it to him
and then he can show you?
- Thank you.
Open it up.
- How do you move around?
- Wheelchair.
- Oh.
- She knows.
- Can you go fast?
- Seven and 1/2 miles per hour at top speed.
- Okay.
- But it's not the safest thing.
You guys wanna see?
- Yeah.
- You guys' toes protected?
- Yeah.
I can spin around.
- Whee!
I want to try.
- You wanna try?
- Yeah.
- Can she?
- [Man In Gray] One, two, three.
- [Amine] Careful, don't run over your brother's toes.
- I do.
- All right, all right, easy, easy.
- We thought he was gonna fall.
- [Desmond] Oh jeez!
- What do you do for a living?
- I am a dating coach.
Are you dating anyone?
- Nope.
- You advise couples maybe?
- I advise singles.
- Oh! - Oh really?
- Yeah.
- So they can find love?
- So they can find love, yeah.
- Have you been in love?
- I have been in love with a woman I dated.
- You went on a date before?
- Uh huh.
Do you know what dating is?
- Yes. - Yes, you tell him.
- No, you!
- I am not sayin' a word.
- Any cuties in first grade that you wanna date?
(laughs)
- Our dad says that we can't date
until we're in high school.
- How old are you guys?
- [Girl] We're 11.
- Do you guys wanna date now?
- [Both] No!
- Guess how many dates I've been on.
- Four.
- Four?
- One.
- One?
- Two.
- Two?
You guys have a lot of faith in me.
I've been on more than 40 dates.
(laughing)
- Whoa!
Have any of them lasted a long time?
- About five.
- Has anybody gotten really mad when you broke up with them?
- Yes, one girl.
- Give us all the juicy details.
- We went on one date, we kissed a little bit,
and things got a little physical.
I told her the next day that I had a great time,
but I wasn't really interested in continuing.
She wrote me back that I should be ashamed of myself.
- That's so mean.
- Yeah.
- No.
- You're, uh, hm.
(laughing)
- Do you wish you can walk?
- Sometimes I do.
- Does it ever get worse?
- Yeah, to walk, to move around, to work, all those things.
- What if you lift weights, can you stop it?
- It slows the process a little bit,
but they still tend to--
- Do that.
- Waste away, yeah.
- Should we feel bad for you?
- No, I still get to enjoy life.
There's a lotta things I can do with a little bit
of adjustment that make me pretty happy too.
- Really?
- Yeah, and a lot of things that might be
more challenging for me to do, I think I get to
enjoy them more because it's more of a journey to get there.
- That's really good.
- Yeah.
