So you want to escape for the fun ofit.
:31:02
Right!
:31:03
For me, it's the spirit
of contradiction.

:31:06
They won't let me fiight,
so I'm dying to.

:31:09
I hate being here
when others are biting the dust.

:31:14
For me it's simple.
:31:15
A golf course is for golf.
A tennis court for tennis.

:31:19

:32:14
That's right.
My brother and I had stomach ailments.

:32:18
The doctor warned us
against eating meat.

:32:21
I turned vegetarian and got well.
:32:24
My brother went on eating meat,

:32:58
I loathe fifes.
