Thank<00:13:54.480><c> you.</c>

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:13.740
And<00:14:09.419><c> rather</c><00:14:09.700><c> than</c><00:14:10.019><c> looking</c><00:14:11.220><c> to</c><00:14:11.740><c> objective</c><00:14:12.740><c> individuals</c><00:14:13.519><c> from</c>

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.320
It's<00:14:18.840><c> nobody's</c><00:14:19.279><c> business.</c>

00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:22.100
It's<00:14:20.840><c> our</c><00:14:20.980><c> own</c><00:14:21.159><c> business.</c>

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:27.320

That's<00:14:38.799><c> what</c><00:14:38.919><c> it</c><00:14:39.100><c> was.</c>

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:42.779

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:58.579
