I don't go out
as often as I would like,

1:08:10
because naturally people find
my appearance disturbing.

1:08:15
If you have a chill
I could close the window.

1:08:18
No, I'm fine, please...
1:08:21

1:08:24
Thank you.

You see,
1:08:29
people are frightened
by what they don't understand.

1:08:35
