I don't mean to second-guess
the Home Office. . .

:23:03
. . .but surely I could be
of better service--

:23:05
Home Office is well aware of your
academic achievements and talents.

:23:10
That's why we've decided not to keep
you here for another five cycles.

:23:20
It's a joke.
:23:23
Thank you, sir.
:23:25
I don't know if I
could've kept my sanity. . .

:23:28
. . .to be here another five cycles.
:23:30
We've decided to keep you here
for another 50 cycles!

:23:35
With endless options for renewal!
:24:02
Those options, of course. . .
:24:04
. . .being at Home Office's discretion.
:24:07
Not yours.
:24:10
The senator. . .
:24:13
. . .has a lot of friends.
:24:21
Would you please tell the senator. . .
:24:23
. . .if I'd had even an inkling that
that was his daughter--

:24:26
Watch your tongue.
:24:30
The senator's exact words to me were,
and I'm quoting:

:24:33
"If that blasted Terl tries
to talk his way out of it. . .

:24:36
. . .have him vaporized on the spot. "
:24:40
But cheer up.
There's one bright side to this.

:24:44
One day you're going to die,
and when you end up in hell. . .

:24:48
. . .at least it'll be a step up
from this place.
