we<00:09:53.360><c> might</c><00:09:53.559><c> be</c><00:09:53.759><c> helping</c><00:09:54.080><c> other</c><00:09:54.419><c> people</c><00:09:54.620><c> in</c><00:09:54.799><c> our</c><00:09:55.059><c> neighbourhood</c>

00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:56.360

00:09:59.299 --> 00:10:02.299
it<00:09:59.460><c> in</c><00:09:59.580><c> a</c><00:09:59.700><c> God</c><00:10:00.039><c>-fearing</c><00:10:00.399><c> kind</c><00:10:00.779><c> of</c><00:10:01.000><c> fashion.</c>

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:16.159
There<00:10:14.820><c> we</c><00:10:15.379><c> are.</c>

00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.120
Probably<00:10:16.659><c> because</c><00:10:16.820><c> I've</c><00:10:17.080><c> talked</c><00:10:17.240><c> too</c><00:10:17.419><c> long</c><00:10:17.539><c> without</c><00:10:17.840><c> moving</c>

00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.700
it<00:10:18.340><c> on.</c>

00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.580
I've<00:10:21.259><c> lost</c><00:10:21.440><c> my</c><00:10:21.580><c> picture</c><00:10:21.899><c> here</c><00:10:22.179><c> altogether.</c>

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.259
So<00:10:37.639><c> I</c><00:10:37.740><c> work</c><00:10:37.980><c> off</c><00:10:38.200><c> the</c><00:10:38.379><c> screen.</c>

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:49.740
The<00:11:45.559><c> important</c><00:11:45.899><c> thing</c><00:11:46.159><c> is</c><00:11:46.840><c> that</c><00:11:47.080><c> we</c><00:11:47.720><c> seek</c><00:11:48.080><c> to</c><00:11:48.379><c> be</c><00:11:48.620><c> people</c><00:11:49.139><c> who</c>

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:28.920
let's<00:32:27.859><c> leave</c><00:32:28.140><c> it</c><00:32:28.400><c> for</c><00:32:28.579><c> now</c>

00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:30.680
I'll<00:32:29.420><c> reflect</c><00:32:29.700><c> upon</c><00:32:29.960><c> what</c><00:32:30.140><c> you're</c><00:32:30.420><c> saying</c>

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.039

which<00:32:36.460><c> is</c><00:32:36.619><c> going</c><00:32:36.720><c> to</c><00:32:36.940><c> be</c><00:32:37.400><c> conducive</c>

00:32:38.339 --> 00:32:41.640
to<00:32:38.960><c> profitable</c><00:32:39.740><c> exchanges</c><00:32:40.859><c> of</c><00:32:41.200><c> ideas</c>

00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:43.319
you<00:32:41.960><c> can</c><00:32:42.259><c> win</c><00:32:42.460><c> the</c><00:32:42.819><c> argument</c>

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.319

00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:49.480
so<00:32:46.880><c> it's</c><00:32:47.119><c> better</c><00:32:47.319><c> to</c><00:32:47.579><c> have</c><00:32:47.759><c> that</c><00:32:48.180><c> quiet</c><00:32:48.680><c> disposition</c>

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:53.519
which<00:32:50.299><c> enables</c><00:32:52.200><c> us</c><00:32:52.500><c> to</c><00:32:52.779><c> keep</c><00:32:52.980><c> patient</c>

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:56.660

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:03.240

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:04.440
and<00:33:03.799><c> get</c><00:33:04.000><c> a</c><00:33:04.160><c> move</c><00:33:04.299><c> on</c>

00:33:27.619 --> 00:33:30.839

00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:50.119
we're<00:40:48.079><c> calling</c><00:40:48.539><c> to</c><00:40:48.920><c> mind</c><00:40:49.139><c> the</c><00:40:49.400><c> things</c><00:40:49.599><c> of</c><00:40:49.880><c> God</c>

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:55.059
maybe<00:40:53.460><c> this</c><00:40:53.719><c> is</c><00:40:54.019><c> a</c><00:40:54.179><c> trial</c>

00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.079
where<00:40:55.920><c> the</c><00:40:56.420><c> way</c><00:40:56.599><c> I</c><00:40:56.860><c> respond</c><00:40:57.340><c> and</c><00:40:57.559><c> react</c><00:40:57.840><c> to</c><00:40:57.960><c> it</c>

00:40:58.079 --> 00:40:59.280
is<00:40:58.179><c> going</c><00:40:58.260><c> to</c><00:40:58.340><c> be</c><00:40:58.460><c> very</c><00:40:58.699><c> important</c>

00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:02.960
as<00:41:00.000><c> a</c><00:41:00.119><c> way</c><00:41:00.400><c> of</c><00:41:01.719><c> winning</c><00:41:02.059><c> this</c><00:41:02.440><c> person</c>

00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:04.099
may<00:41:03.239><c> not</c><00:41:03.460><c> be</c><00:41:03.699><c> immediately</c>

00:41:04.099 --> 00:41:05.619

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:31.159
