00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:50.720

for<00:10:10.039><c> quite</c><00:10:10.279><c> a</c><00:10:10.460><c> while.</c>

00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.139

00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:26.879

They<00:10:25.179><c> understand</c><00:10:25.679><c> that</c><00:10:25.980><c> an</c><00:10:26.279><c> idol</c><00:10:26.440><c> is</c><00:10:26.679><c> nothing.</c>
