00:09:37 No. Just asking.
00:13:47 If they were so eager to invite you a few days ago

00:20:30 We’re not.
00:23:59 What is it that you do?
00:27:02 Why aren’t you saying anything?
00:33:23 that you’re taller now.
00:35:33 Too long.
00:39:11 You’re afraid of him and you’re afraid of me.
00:41:37 And we never know when it’ll make itself known.
00:45:15 then sometimes we tell him the truth.
00:50:35 A mystification!
00:55:36 I’m sweating out of fear.
00:59:30 No.
01:02:26 All the best, professor.
