You<00:14:20.379><c> remember</c><00:14:20.659><c> on</c><00:14:20.899><c> the</c><00:14:21.120><c> occasion</c><00:14:21.580><c> when</c><00:14:22.519><c> Elijah</c><00:14:22.899><c> was</c><00:14:23.120><c> to</c><00:14:23.360><c> catch</c>

00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.519
And<00:14:32.240><c> Yahweh</c><00:14:32.559><c> acknowledged</c><00:14:33.759><c> the</c><00:14:34.860><c> humility</c><00:14:35.220><c> of</c><00:14:35.399><c> that</c><00:14:35.600><c> moment.</c>

00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.279

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:46.580
So<00:14:43.559><c> there</c><00:14:43.740><c> was</c><00:14:44.220><c> in</c><00:14:44.559><c> Ahab</c><00:14:45.419><c> a</c><00:14:45.879><c> measure</c><00:14:46.139><c> of</c><00:14:46.460><c> truth.</c>

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:50.639
That's<00:14:46.820><c> why</c><00:14:47.500><c> Elijah</c><00:14:47.960><c> said,</c><00:14:48.399><c> why</c><00:14:48.740><c> do</c><00:14:48.980><c> you</c><00:14:49.220><c> halt</c><00:14:49.440><c> between</c><00:14:49.879><c> two</c><00:14:50.320><c> opinions?</c>

00:14:50.700 --> 00:14:52.419

There<00:14:52.600><c> was</c><00:14:52.700><c> only</c><00:14:52.919><c> one</c><00:14:53.139><c> in</c><00:14:53.299><c> Jezebel.</c>

00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:57.500
could<00:14:56.879><c> have</c><00:14:57.039><c> been</c><00:14:57.179><c> better.</c>

00:14:57.580 --> 00:14:59.600
That<00:14:57.759><c> was</c><00:14:57.980><c> exactly</c><00:14:58.659><c> the</c><00:14:58.960><c> same</c><00:14:59.179><c> as</c><00:14:59.399><c> Herod.</c>

00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:00.860
And<00:15:00.080><c> we</c><00:15:00.159><c> will</c><00:15:00.299><c> see</c><00:15:00.480><c> in</c><00:15:00.639><c> a</c><00:15:00.700><c> minute.</c>

Precisely<00:15:01.759><c> the</c><00:15:01.960><c> same</c><00:15:02.179><c> thing.</c>

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.840
It<00:15:03.080><c> was</c><00:15:03.279><c> a</c><00:15:03.519><c> repeat</c><00:15:03.720><c> of</c><00:15:03.960><c> history.</c>

00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:23.299
That's<00:16:21.460><c> precisely</c><00:16:22.299><c> what</c><00:16:22.539><c> Ahab</c><00:16:22.820><c> did.</c>

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:09.539
Why?

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.420
Because<00:20:10.640><c> he</c><00:20:11.019><c> fear</c><00:20:11.220><c> John,</c><00:20:12.079><c> says,</c><00:20:13.599><c> knowing</c><00:20:13.940><c> he</c><00:20:14.200><c> was</c><00:20:14.480><c> a</c><00:20:14.660><c> just</c><00:20:14.920><c> man</c>

00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:21.599
Brothers<00:20:18.039><c> and</c><00:20:18.299><c> sisters,</c><00:20:20.420><c> you</c><00:20:20.440><c> have</c><00:20:20.680><c> to</c><00:20:20.859><c> know</c>

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:28.839
Herodias<00:20:26.920><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:27.099><c> have</c><00:20:27.279><c> seen</c><00:20:27.339><c> it</c><00:20:27.460><c> like</c><00:20:27.720><c> that.</c>

00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:32.539
She<00:20:29.400><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:29.680><c> know</c><00:20:29.940><c> what</c><00:20:30.220><c> justice</c><00:20:30.680><c> or</c><00:20:31.039><c> holiness</c><00:20:31.380><c> was.</c>

00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:36.140
But<00:20:33.039><c> he</c><00:20:33.299><c> did,</c><00:20:34.559><c> and</c><00:20:34.680><c> there's</c><00:20:35.039><c> the</c><00:20:35.240><c> tragedy.</c>

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.660
Just<00:20:37.119><c> the</c><00:20:37.339><c> same</c><00:20:37.480><c> as</c><00:20:37.680><c> Ahab.</c>

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:40.380
There<00:20:38.900><c> were</c><00:20:39.059><c> two</c><00:20:39.319><c> opinions</c><00:20:39.700><c> in</c><00:20:39.880><c> him.</c>

00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:42.559
Why<00:20:41.079><c> couldn't</c><00:20:41.339><c> one</c><00:20:41.579><c> prevail?</c>

00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:46.200
And<00:20:43.180><c> so</c><00:20:43.539><c> Herod</c><00:20:43.859><c> kept</c><00:20:44.119><c> this</c><00:20:44.400><c> man</c><00:20:44.500><c> because</c><00:20:44.799><c> he</c><00:20:44.900><c> was</c><00:20:45.140><c> a</c><00:20:45.359><c> just</c><00:20:45.700><c> and</c>

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:47.140
a<00:20:46.420><c> holy</c><00:20:46.740><c> man.</c>

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:49.759
And<00:20:47.579><c> not</c><00:20:47.720><c> only</c><00:20:47.880><c> that,</c><00:20:48.259><c> brothers</c><00:20:48.339><c> and</c><00:20:48.619><c> sisters,</c><00:20:49.140><c> but</c><00:20:49.380><c> John</c><00:20:49.519><c> was</c>

00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:50.920

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.099
He<00:20:51.380><c> let</c><00:20:51.619><c> John</c><00:20:52.079><c> influence</c><00:20:52.599><c> his</c><00:20:52.859><c> life.</c>

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.000
It<00:20:53.359><c> says</c><00:20:53.599><c> in</c><00:20:53.700><c> that</c><00:20:53.880><c> record,</c><00:20:54.660><c> and</c><00:20:54.660><c> he</c><00:20:54.799><c> observed</c><00:20:55.700><c> him.</c>

00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:02.299
Now<00:20:57.299><c> the</c><00:20:57.460><c> margin</c><00:20:57.799><c> says,</c><00:20:59.240><c> he</c><00:20:59.279><c> kept</c><00:20:59.640><c> him</c><00:21:00.099><c> or</c><00:21:00.900><c> saved</c><00:21:01.380><c> him,</c>

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.400
so<00:21:02.720><c> he</c><00:21:02.960><c> didn't</c><00:21:03.220><c> allow</c><00:21:03.500><c> his</c><00:21:03.720><c> wife</c><00:21:03.940><c> to</c><00:21:04.140><c> kill</c><00:21:04.259><c> him.</c>

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:09.460
And<00:21:04.640><c> then</c><00:21:04.740><c> it</c><00:21:04.940><c> says,</c><00:21:05.900><c> and</c><00:21:06.039><c> he</c><00:21:06.220><c> heard</c><00:21:06.480><c> him</c><00:21:06.960><c> and</c><00:21:07.180><c> he</c><00:21:07.640><c> did</c><00:21:08.000><c> many</c><00:21:08.339><c> things.</c>

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:12.440
He<00:21:10.339><c> did</c><00:21:10.759><c> many</c><00:21:11.039><c> things</c><00:21:11.339><c> and</c><00:21:11.559><c> heard</c><00:21:11.839><c> him</c><00:21:12.119><c> gladly.</c>

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:14.900
Now<00:21:12.880><c> can</c><00:21:13.099><c> you</c><00:21:13.359><c> imagine</c><00:21:13.819><c> a</c><00:21:14.059><c> character</c><00:21:14.279><c> like</c><00:21:14.559><c> that?</c>

00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:17.019
Look<00:21:15.220><c> at</c><00:21:15.359><c> the</c><00:21:15.579><c> weakness</c><00:21:15.859><c> of</c><00:21:16.079><c> this</c><00:21:16.299><c> man.</c>

00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:18.799
He<00:21:17.460><c> doesn't</c><00:21:17.700><c> know</c><00:21:17.880><c> where</c><00:21:18.119><c> he</c><00:21:18.400><c> stands.</c>

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:21.200
He's<00:21:19.460><c> made</c><00:21:19.619><c> a</c><00:21:19.839><c> mess</c><00:21:20.000><c> of</c><00:21:20.180><c> his</c><00:21:20.400><c> life.</c>

00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:23.019

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.480

But<00:24:52.160><c> there'd</c><00:24:52.440><c> be</c><00:24:52.559><c> very,</c><00:24:53.140><c> very</c><00:24:53.500><c> many</c><00:24:53.720><c> in</c><00:24:53.839><c> this</c><00:24:54.140><c> hall,</c><00:24:54.480><c> like</c><00:24:54.720><c> me,</c>

00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.559
who<00:24:56.799><c> have</c><00:24:56.960><c> a</c><00:24:57.140><c> weakness</c><00:24:57.599><c> and</c><00:24:58.299><c> find</c><00:24:58.779><c> it</c><00:24:59.099><c> very</c><00:24:59.420><c> depressing</c>

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:06.400
because<00:25:00.819><c> we</c><00:25:01.000><c> will</c><00:25:01.240><c> do</c><00:25:01.599><c> anything</c><00:25:02.339><c> except</c><00:25:03.500><c> the</c><00:25:03.859><c> one</c><00:25:04.420><c> thing</c><00:25:04.980><c> needful.</c>

00:25:06.420 --> 00:25:09.660
And<00:25:06.779><c> there</c><00:25:07.019><c> is</c><00:25:07.319><c> a</c><00:25:07.519><c> tragedy</c><00:25:07.980><c> of</c><00:25:08.460><c> human</c><00:25:08.660><c> life.</c>

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:12.059
And<00:25:10.380><c> you</c><00:25:10.480><c> can</c><00:25:10.519><c> imagine</c><00:25:10.779><c> John</c><00:25:11.039><c> keep</c><00:25:11.339><c> telling</c><00:25:11.619><c> you,</c>

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.420
it's<00:25:12.740><c> not</c><00:25:13.099><c> right,</c><00:25:13.480><c> you</c><00:25:13.619><c> know.</c>

00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:16.000
Yeah,<00:25:14.619><c> but</c><00:25:14.700><c> what</c><00:25:14.839><c> about</c><00:25:14.980><c> telling</c><00:25:15.180><c> me</c><00:25:15.359><c> something</c><00:25:15.619><c> else?</c>

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.519
So<00:25:16.619><c> John</c><00:25:16.799><c> would</c><00:25:17.039><c> expound</c><00:25:17.339><c> the</c><00:25:17.519><c> scripture,</c><00:25:17.920><c> thrilled</c><00:25:18.220><c> a</c><00:25:18.400><c> bit.</c>

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.460
But<00:25:18.960><c> don't</c><00:25:19.279><c> forget,</c><00:25:19.779><c> Herod,</c><00:25:19.940><c> it's</c><00:25:20.380><c> not</c><00:25:20.859><c> right,</c><00:25:21.299><c> you</c><00:25:21.460><c> know.</c>

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.339
And<00:25:23.400><c> that</c><00:25:23.420><c> was</c><00:25:23.680><c> the</c><00:25:23.819><c> one</c><00:25:24.259><c> thing</c><00:25:24.960><c> needful.</c>

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:29.599
But<00:25:26.799><c> you</c><00:25:26.960><c> see,</c><00:25:27.559><c> he</c><00:25:27.700><c> never</c><00:25:27.900><c> got</c><00:25:28.119><c> through,</c><00:25:28.480><c> did</c><00:25:28.599><c> he?</c>

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:32.539
But<00:25:30.279><c> if</c><00:25:30.400><c> that</c><00:25:30.599><c> conversation</c><00:25:31.180><c> had</c><00:25:31.359><c> have</c><00:25:31.539><c> gone</c><00:25:31.720><c> on</c><00:25:32.000><c> much</c><00:25:32.259><c> longer,</c>

00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:35.319
brothers<00:25:32.839><c> and</c><00:25:33.079><c> sisters,</c><00:25:33.759><c> he</c><00:25:33.940><c> might</c><00:25:34.200><c> have</c><00:25:34.319><c> got</c><00:25:34.519><c> through.</c>

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.759
Who<00:25:36.380><c> knows?</c>

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:38.900
The<00:25:37.279><c> record,</c><00:25:37.460><c> of</c><00:25:37.660><c> course,</c><00:25:37.819><c> tells</c><00:25:38.059><c> us</c><00:25:38.240><c> he</c><00:25:38.319><c> didn't.</c>

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.440
And<00:25:39.400><c> we</c><00:25:39.460><c> know,</c><00:25:39.700><c> of</c><00:25:39.819><c> course,</c><00:25:40.160><c> I</c><00:25:40.160><c> suppose,</c><00:25:40.940><c> providentially</c><00:25:41.299><c> it</c>

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:41.940
couldn't<00:25:41.740><c> happen.</c>

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.160
I<00:25:42.099><c> don't</c><00:25:42.319><c> know,</c><00:25:42.539><c> but</c><00:25:42.839><c> there</c><00:25:43.140><c> it</c><00:25:43.319><c> is.</c>

00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:47.039
But<00:25:44.759><c> a</c><00:25:44.940><c> convenient</c><00:25:45.559><c> day</c><00:25:46.019><c> came.</c>

00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:49.000
A<00:25:47.980><c> convenient</c><00:25:48.640><c> day.</c>

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.240
That's<00:25:49.640><c> a</c><00:25:49.920><c> convenient</c><00:25:50.079><c> day,</c><00:25:50.380><c> not</c><00:25:50.579><c> for</c><00:25:50.880><c> Herod,</c>

00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.980
a<00:25:51.680><c> convenient</c><00:25:52.059><c> day</c><00:25:52.319><c> for</c><00:25:52.500><c> Herodias</c>

00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:55.619
because<00:25:53.480><c> she</c><00:25:53.700><c> never</c><00:25:53.960><c> halted</c><00:25:54.240><c> between</c><00:25:54.460><c> two</c><00:25:54.740><c> opinions.</c>

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:57.640
She<00:25:56.680><c> didn't</c><00:25:56.980><c> want</c><00:25:57.160><c> to</c><00:25:57.240><c> hear</c><00:25:57.380><c> John.</c>

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:59.500
She<00:25:57.960><c> couldn't</c><00:25:58.259><c> care</c><00:25:58.579><c> less</c><00:25:58.779><c> what</c><00:25:58.920><c> he</c><00:25:59.019><c> had</c><00:25:59.180><c> to</c><00:25:59.359><c> say.</c>

00:25:59.619 --> 00:26:01.579
She<00:26:00.039><c> hated</c><00:26:00.380><c> him.</c>

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:04.980
And<00:26:02.039><c> she</c><00:26:02.180><c> was</c><00:26:02.400><c> just</c><00:26:02.819><c> waiting</c><00:26:03.180><c> and</c><00:26:03.700><c> waiting</c><00:26:04.079><c> and</c><00:26:04.480><c> waiting</c><00:26:04.779><c> for</c>

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:05.240
the<00:26:05.119><c> day.</c>

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:07.920
She<00:26:05.720><c> couldn't</c><00:26:05.960><c> get</c><00:26:06.160><c> her</c><00:26:06.339><c> husband</c><00:26:06.660><c> to</c><00:26:07.200><c> sign</c><00:26:07.400><c> the</c><00:26:07.599><c> paper.</c>

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.680
But<00:26:10.680><c> she</c><00:26:11.039><c> waited</c><00:26:11.420><c> and</c><00:26:11.960><c> waited</c><00:26:12.240><c> and</c><00:26:12.559><c> waited.</c>

00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:14.359

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.579
That<00:26:50.700><c> was</c><00:26:50.880><c> a</c><00:26:51.079><c> Roman</c><00:26:51.480><c> principle.</c>

00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:55.619
Nothing<00:26:53.380><c> to</c><00:26:54.140><c> do</c><00:26:54.279><c> with</c><00:26:54.440><c> the</c><00:26:54.559><c> way</c><00:26:54.720><c> we</c><00:26:55.000><c> do</c><00:26:55.160><c> it,</c>

00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:57.759

But<00:26:58.279><c> it</c><00:26:58.400><c> was</c><00:26:58.759><c> the</c><00:26:59.160><c> custom</c><00:26:59.599><c> and</c><00:27:00.099><c> really</c><00:27:00.359><c> the</c><00:27:00.819><c> duty</c><00:27:01.200><c> of</c><00:27:01.599><c> all</c><00:27:01.880><c> the</c><00:27:02.140><c> officers,</c>

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:12.920
So,<00:27:10.740><c> because</c><00:27:11.039><c> his</c><00:27:11.680><c> birthday</c><00:27:12.099><c> was</c><00:27:12.339><c> celebrated,</c>

It<00:33:37.420><c> wasn't</c><00:33:37.680><c> just</c><00:33:37.980><c> a</c><00:33:38.059><c> dance</c><00:33:38.400><c> up</c><00:33:38.680><c> there,</c>

00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:57.000
It<00:38:55.659><c> really</c><00:38:55.960><c> meant,</c><00:38:56.400><c> brothers</c><00:38:56.420><c> and</c><00:38:56.679><c> sisters,</c>

And<00:39:00.280><c> the</c><00:39:00.420><c> reason,</c><00:39:00.619><c> of</c><00:39:00.820><c> course,</c><00:39:01.059><c> was</c><00:39:01.179><c> as</c><00:39:01.400><c> much</c>

00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:03.340
as<00:39:01.760><c> I</c><00:39:01.820><c> can</c><00:39:02.039><c> give.</c><00:39:02.320><c> It</c><00:39:02.340><c> wouldn't</c><00:39:02.559><c> be</c><00:39:02.760><c> half</c><00:39:02.980><c> the</c><00:39:03.179><c> kingdom.</c>

00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:05.179
It<00:39:03.519><c> was</c><00:39:03.719><c> just</c><00:39:04.199><c> a</c><00:39:04.400><c> colloquial</c><00:39:04.820><c> expression.</c>

00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:07.360
But<00:39:05.380><c> it</c><00:39:05.500><c> nonetheless</c><00:39:05.860><c> indicated</c><00:39:06.440><c> that</c><00:39:06.739><c> I</c><00:39:06.860><c> would</c><00:39:07.099><c> give</c><00:39:07.199><c> you</c>

Look<00:39:23.860><c> what</c><00:39:23.960><c> I</c><00:39:24.119><c> could</c><00:39:24.320><c> get.</c>

00:39:25.579 --> 00:39:27.659
Not<00:39:25.880><c> her.</c><00:39:26.980><c> People</c><00:39:27.260><c> like</c><00:39:27.480><c> that,</c>

brothers<00:39:27.920><c> and</c><00:39:28.159><c> sisters,</c><00:39:28.860><c> just</c><00:39:28.920><c> eat</c><00:39:29.179><c> now.</c>

00:39:36.139 --> 00:39:38.099
Ah,<00:39:36.599><c> but</c><00:39:36.780><c> she</c><00:39:36.900><c> just</c><00:39:37.139><c> doesn't</c><00:39:37.340><c> want</c><00:39:37.480><c> it</c><00:39:37.719><c> anyway,</c>

00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.139
She<00:39:40.000><c> said,</c><00:39:40.179><c> you</c><00:39:40.320><c> go</c><00:39:40.519><c> and</c><00:39:40.699><c> ask</c><00:39:40.880><c> him</c>

00:39:46.500 --> 00:39:48.239
Two<00:39:46.760><c> things</c><00:39:47.400><c> were</c><00:39:47.639><c> being</c><00:39:47.820><c> done</c><00:39:48.019><c> there,</c>

00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:54.519
One,<00:39:53.360><c> that</c><00:39:53.480><c> if</c><00:39:53.500><c> it</c><00:39:53.639><c> was</c><00:39:53.780><c> brought</c><00:39:53.920><c> in</c><00:39:54.039><c> on</c><00:39:54.239><c> a</c><00:39:54.320><c> dish,</c>

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.380
Here's<00:40:05.679><c> the</c><00:40:05.880><c> piece</c><00:40:06.099><c> de</c><00:40:06.260><c> resistance,</c>

00:40:10.219 --> 00:40:11.440
Imagine<00:40:10.460><c> that</c><00:40:10.639><c> being</c><00:40:10.800><c> put</c><00:40:10.880><c> on</c><00:40:11.019><c> the</c><00:40:11.219><c> table.</c>

I<00:40:15.880><c> can</c><00:40:16.019><c> just</c><00:40:16.280><c> imagine</c><00:40:16.519><c> with</c><00:40:16.699><c> the</c><00:40:16.900><c> executioner</c>

00:40:17.420 --> 00:40:18.960

And<00:40:23.679><c> then</c><00:40:23.820><c> with</c><00:40:24.059><c> a</c><00:40:24.340><c> scornful</c><00:40:24.900><c> look,</c>

overtook<00:41:49.320><c> him.</c>

00:41:49.780 --> 00:41:52.380
And<00:41:49.860><c> can</c><00:41:49.980><c> you</c><00:41:50.179><c> imagine,</c><00:41:51.300><c> imagine</c><00:41:51.539><c> that</c><00:41:51.739><c> glass</c><00:41:52.000><c> of</c><00:41:52.179><c> wine</c>

00:42:17.619 --> 00:42:19.300
So<00:42:17.739><c> what's</c><00:42:17.980><c> he</c><00:42:17.980><c> going</c><00:42:18.119><c> to</c><00:42:18.239><c> do</c><00:42:18.320><c> now?</c>

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.639
That's<00:42:24.619><c> what</c><00:42:24.760><c> Mark</c><00:42:24.980><c> tells</c><00:42:25.280><c> us.</c>

Yet<00:42:27.559><c> for</c><00:42:27.719><c> his</c><00:42:28.039><c> oath's</c><00:42:28.460><c> sake</c>

Two<00:42:35.079><c> things.</c>

00:42:36.340 --> 00:42:37.980
He'd<00:42:36.519><c> made</c><00:42:36.719><c> an</c><00:42:36.880><c> oath</c><00:42:36.960><c> about</c><00:42:37.260><c> that.</c>

00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:40.340
He'd<00:42:38.659><c> give</c><00:42:38.780><c> it</c><00:42:38.940><c> to</c><00:42:39.019><c> half</c><00:42:39.219><c> of</c><00:42:39.380><c> the</c><00:42:39.519><c> kingdom.</c>

00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:42.199
But<00:42:41.219><c> you</c><00:42:41.239><c> know,</c><00:42:41.519><c> brothers</c><00:42:41.659><c> and</c><00:42:41.920><c> sisters,</c>

I<00:42:42.460><c> believe</c><00:42:42.800><c> that</c>

But<00:42:47.699><c> you</c><00:42:47.840><c> see,</c><00:42:48.380><c> look</c><00:42:48.500><c> who's</c><00:42:48.679><c> sitting</c><00:42:48.940><c> with</c><00:42:49.159><c> him.</c>

00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:51.400
