00:04:05 I'm not a policeman anymore. I'm an ordinary citizen.

00:06:48 Whichever way I can. I don't care how.

00:09:06 If we put a cap on him...

00:11:53 I'm not. Couldn't we use the other one?

00:15:25 Don't worry. He'll be back.

00:18:13 That's the only reason.

00:20:46 I'm an artist myself.

00:23:04 If he's attacked, you'll be shot.

00:26:24 - Is that "wish soup"? - Yes.

00:28:31 I thought she loved me. I loved her.

00:31:16 I get it.

00:33:43 When we visit her family.

00:36:22 You come out a minute.

00:38:22 Friday at 10.

00:40:53 School's out.

00:44:16 I'm being serious.

00:46:33 What woman? This is nonsense.

00:49:07 I think of her so much because one day

00:54:27 - Here. - Thanks.

00:57:55 If you don't do it, I'll have to stab him

01:01:52 Run, run!

01:04:53 He went crazy when he saw her.

01:07:08 Each time I was about to my hand shook and my heart fluttered.
