[0:01] uh... uh...
[0:17] Yeah.
[0:19] Yeah.
[0:19] Yeah.
[0:21] Yeah.
[0:46] Do you want to know if he's going to come in?
[0:47] Does he have to come in?
[0:49] No, he's not.
[0:49] Oh, well, I don't think so.
[0:51] It's just our group will wear these here.
[0:55] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[0:56] I think that once we get to him, once we know he wants to come in, I don't think we should do it.
[1:00] Uh, I mean, it's got to be done in a way that that's seriously weird for him.
[1:04] I don't know.
[1:05] I don't know.
[1:05] I don't know.
[1:06] I don't know.

[1:09] I don't know.
[1:09] I don't know.
[1:11] I don't know.
[1:15] I know he's alive.
[1:17] That's good.
[1:19] But, uh, if they could do it in a different way, I don't mind.
[1:22] They don't need to have any, I guess, I guess have any, uh, polyacid pictures.
[1:28] That's good.
[1:30] But I don't know if the way that we're asking him is hyper-explanatory.
[1:33] We can do it that way without any pictures.
[1:34] No pictures, okay.
[1:35] I don't care about that.
[1:37] The hearing would like to be for about 8 to 10 minutes, sometimes before, another hour.
[1:42] That would be great right now.
