- Two wrongs don't make a right.
- You're right.
:51:25
- Where there's a will, there's a way.
- I know.
:51:27
As long as I am the chairman
of the darts committee...
:51:29
you won't be dropped from the team
without a fair hearing.
:51:32

and Ginger is polishing some glasses.
:52:37
- Just read this through.
