Is this a comedy act, Chuckie?
You find this funny?
:07:11
Then shut up and wipe
that stupid-looking thing...
:07:15

is some kind of charming expression...
:07:17

Put your things away
and find a seat.
:07:26
Go on!
:07:29
This is not over,
do you hear me?
:07:31
Now, what I was saying
before that interruption...
:07:36

they were really doing...
:07:53

of their land...
:07:56
