00:04:51 A lot of people have come out for this year's festival.
00:09:01 Father... I...
00:12:56 Where's my money?
00:16:15 So, what do you think of my ranad ek player?
00:21:01 You should join the ensemble out there.
00:25:39 So here you are.
00:27:14 But the host is such an old friend, I couldn't refuse.
00:30:18 In years of playing, I've never had a request like that.
00:35:15 That's not necessary. I trust you.
00:37:08 I know some may find these changes difficult at first.
00:41:19 And there's no telling how fast Khun In might have got him.
00:46:15 It's good to be back at our favorite spot again.
00:49:01 and now I leave him to you.
00:52:58 That should fill you up.
00:57:09 and arm ourselves with bravery and unity.
01:02:35 There's no way to replace him now.

01:27:56 Rules and order are essential in cultivating the growth of strong and civilized societies.
01:33:57 What are you trying to say, my love?
