Now what were you thinking about, Dad?
:28:33
Just pIanning.
:28:36
PIanning what to do
when I'm abIe to go back to work again.

:28:40
Now what are you taIking about?
:28:41
You're going back to your oId pIace

:29:49
They aIways used to spat about
which one wouId make the best actress.

:29:59
If they both feIt that way...
