00:07:29 Yes.
00:12:02 Don't know?
00:17:35 Put the cinema pass back.
00:21:45 - Shall I put the lights on? - Let me do it...
00:25:32 I don't know.
00:29:13 Whatever you say, I've decided.
00:35:06 To the cinema.
00:38:45 - Who gave you a permission? - No one.
00:41:44 There's a reason, as you say. But you wouldn't understand.
00:46:08 Your son told me where you work.
00:48:46 I wanted to ask you to do something: Put me in a home, if you can.
00:51:34 Don't argue. Be home by nine, is that clear?
00:55:24 - What do you mean by that? - He means that bearing in mind...
00:57:46 For the world and everyone in it.
01:01:09 My father will call your mother, I'm sure she'll agree.
01:06:11 She worked...
01:12:10 They have to, with a man in his position.
01:15:31 Why did you lie?
01:20:45 Why did you do it to your mother? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
01:24:57 I spoke to him, but he didn't persuade me.
01:29:02 We'll live through this year, too.
01:33:43 Be strong, my son.
01:40:01 Don't start to cry, you'll see him, too.
