00:14:25 Just like John Robie.
00:18:23 No, that I ever taught you English.
00:21:11 Not that pretty! We want to get rid of him.
00:25:34 - How much do you need? - Half a dozen names.
00:29:27 Germaine has sensitive hands, an exceedingly light touch.
00:32:40 I didn't buy these things for my old age. I bought them to wear.
