00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:18.399
Because<00:10:13.159><c> she</c><00:10:13.419><c> believes</c><00:10:13.740><c> that</c><00:10:13.960><c> their</c><00:10:14.220><c> cause</c><00:10:14.480><c> is</c><00:10:14.860><c> just,</c><00:10:16.279><c> because</c><00:10:16.580><c> she</c><00:10:16.860><c> believes</c><00:10:17.259><c> that</c><00:10:17.519><c> the</c><00:10:17.720><c> God</c><00:10:18.139><c> of</c>

00:33:50.769 --> 00:33:54.710
Even<00:33:50.910><c> though</c><00:33:51.710><c> she</c><00:33:52.170><c> was</c><00:33:52.410><c> a</c><00:33:52.529><c> married</c><00:33:52.789><c> woman</c><00:33:53.170><c> and</c><00:33:53.430><c> fully</c><00:33:53.650><c> grown,</c>

She's<00:34:55.769><c> hungry.</c>

00:34:57.630 --> 00:34:58.449
She's<00:34:58.070><c> hungry.</c>
