Again?
:53:12
PIay it again.
:53:13
But we've pIayed that five times aIready.
:53:15
They want it again.
:53:17
-Again?
-Again.

:53:38
What are you thinking of?.
:53:43
I think I was just being
sort of sadIy happy then.

:53:47
SadIy happy?
:53:49
Don't you know?
OnIy chiIdren can be just happiIy happy.

:53:54
I think when we get oIder, some
of our happiest moments are Iike this one.

:53:58
It's Iike that music. Oh, so sweet...
:54:02

:54:04

Don't worry. I shan't hoId you to it.

No, but something wiII interfere.
:54:45
Somebody wiII, I mean.
:54:48
PeopIe taIk about each other fearfuIIy

:54:51
They don't aIways stop at the truth.
:54:53
They make up things. Yes, they do, reaIIy.
:54:57
What difference does it aII make?
:54:59
It's just that I'd rather they didn't
make up things about me to you.
