00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.159
His<00:03:33.020><c> attitude</c><00:03:33.479><c> was,</c><00:03:34.379><c> we</c><00:03:34.419><c> shouldn't</c><00:03:34.960><c> bother</c><00:03:35.360><c> the</c><00:03:35.680><c> Father</c><00:03:35.900><c> with</c><00:03:36.300><c> trivia.</c>

00:03:38.580 --> 00:03:42.379
My<00:03:38.819><c> problem</c><00:03:39.180><c> is,</c><00:03:40.560><c> trivia</c><00:03:40.780><c> has</c><00:03:41.099><c> a</c><00:03:41.280><c> nasty</c><00:03:41.500><c> habit</c><00:03:41.879><c> of</c><00:03:42.099><c> becoming</c>

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.759

00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:52.300
And<00:03:50.520><c> the</c><00:03:50.680><c> principle,</c><00:03:51.419><c> therefore,</c><00:03:51.599><c> is</c><00:03:51.919><c> this.</c>
