[0:00] Now, one point in the military program, of course, is essential, and we have to do very, very soon, is reseating the mines.
[0:24] Now, why don't we just do that now?
[0:24] That's the main operation.
[0:25] Okay.
[0:25] Okay.
[0:25] I've been trying to get some sort of leverage for whatever the hell he's going to do tomorrow.
[0:48] But maybe it's too late.
[0:48] You see, there's this sort of hustle and hustle down.
[0:49] Well, this is my last meeting.
[0:50] I know.
[0:50] I've been through associations.
[0:51] I don't know if that just wears out.
[0:51] We use it about twice.
[0:52] And they use it on us, and she uses it on them.
[0:53] And then you've got to act.
[0:53] But, well, we may be finished with that.

[1:46] I've never looked at anything like that.
[1:47] I don't think it went down that good with them.

[1:52] I asked more of that specifically.
[1:53] I asked him about five times.
[1:53] He said, yeah, but you're good.
[1:54] Fine.
[1:55] around the corner.
[1:59] I just want them in here.
[2:01] I don't give a god damn.
[2:04] They never get anything out of you.
[2:08] Yeah.
[2:08] That's right.
[2:08] Okay.
