l've been wanting to meet you
for a long time.

:17:35
Not just because of all the good
things l've heard about you.

But because...
:17:42
well, l'm the guy
who's representing you...

:17:44
and your mom and dad
and several people in town.

however meager,

:17:50
some compensation...
:17:54
for what you've suffered.
:17:59
At the same time...
:18:01
to make sure an accident
like this never happens again.

:18:06
l don't like thinking
about the accident.

:18:10
l don't even
remember it happening.

:18:14

:18:17
lt just makes people
feel sorry for me.

:18:29
They see you
in this wheelchair...

:18:32
they're going to
feel sorry for you.

:18:34
l didn't know you...
:18:36
nor how promising and exciting
your life was before.

:18:41
Even l feel sorry for you.
:18:49
What is it that you want me
to do for you?

:18:55

that we're trying to sue.

:18:58
See, their job is to
minimize damages,
