00:32:23.549 --> 00:32:26.750
Let<00:32:24.069><c> me</c><00:32:24.289><c> suggest</c><00:32:24.690><c> to</c><00:32:24.950><c> you</c><00:32:25.190><c> that</c><00:32:25.430><c> what</c><00:32:25.609><c> was</c><00:32:25.789><c> happening</c><00:32:26.049><c> was</c><00:32:26.289><c> that</c><00:32:26.430><c> there</c><00:32:26.609><c> was</c>
