...look like you or me.
1:22:06
You particularly.
1:22:09
What do you do in people's houses,

"The Hundred and Twenty Days...".
1:23:41
"Stuck... I really am."
1:23:43
"If I accept. I am caught."
1:23:46
"If I refuse. I am not a reader."
1:23:49
"A reader must read."
1:23:51
"Read out loud.
What is asked of her. "
1:23:54
Well, I will consider it.
We will see next time.
1:23:58
Listen, let us have
a short reading today,
