00:34:01.630 --> 00:34:05.809
Perhaps<00:34:01.910><c> you</c><00:34:02.509><c> just</c><00:34:03.230><c> feel</c><00:34:03.670><c> that</c><00:34:03.869><c> within</c><00:34:04.170><c> the</c><00:34:04.750><c> scope</c><00:34:05.089><c> or</c><00:34:05.269><c> the</c><00:34:05.490><c> ambit</c><00:34:05.650><c> of</c>

00:34:16.550 --> 00:34:18.309
Perhaps<00:34:16.889><c> there's</c><00:34:17.130><c> disappointment.</c>

00:34:20.969 --> 00:34:23.769
And<00:34:21.170><c> David</c><00:34:21.269><c> could</c><00:34:21.469><c> have</c><00:34:21.710><c> quit</c><00:34:21.889><c> on</c><00:34:22.130><c> that</c><00:34:22.269><c> occasion,</c><00:34:22.849><c> couldn't</c><00:34:23.030><c> he?</c>

00:35:13.329 --> 00:35:17.309
So<00:35:13.510><c> David</c><00:35:13.889><c> prepared</c><00:35:14.730><c> abundantly</c><00:35:15.630><c> before</c><00:35:16.050><c> his</c><00:35:16.369><c> death.</c>

00:35:17.849 --> 00:35:20.289

00:35:20.550 --> 00:35:23.550
I<00:35:20.789><c> don't</c><00:35:20.989><c> think</c><00:35:21.110><c> I've</c><00:35:21.250><c> ever</c><00:35:21.429><c> heard</c><00:35:21.630><c> anybody</c><00:35:21.949><c> use</c><00:35:22.269><c> that</c><00:35:22.570><c> in</c><00:35:23.190><c> our</c>

00:35:44.090 --> 00:35:50.369
