What do you think of the education? Yeah, I think it's translated from with that state. Well, I'm getting mad. These are sharp or tall. I guess I'm talking about something. It's just serious. It's serious. I'm sorry. The red streets look like the dark grass, the endings that she really looks to know what it would say. This is still not a white man, all the objects of the senses that reflect yet to die. Distracting brings a lot of the eyes to taste and slice. I'm stripping, wallowing, and sporks. I'm super-esque, it's the hard part of strip. I'm in common speech, I'm together in the park. You got to repeat the race, let's start acting. What's a sweet mother? Why don't we see terms of nature? Since it's a type of concept, it's not a fiber-released moon-loosed water, but certain solid, high-sized, different sounds, those are slides, and it's best to reach everything, depending on these groups to be spread for the family, friends who share the essence of even a community, just to see, show up there is darkness, that don't seem to be as bad as soon as there's light to see,

It's not a simple day. Maybe we can witness the punishment in this mirror wisdom. Chancing the harmony of difference and equality. We dedicate this merit in virtue to. You must use the reality of choice. It's a show.

[14:27]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what I'm talking about. [...] Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go, let me [...] go, let me go.
[15:47]
So you can't get like the shit out. Don't go to that. Give us your balance. That's all. That's all. That's all. Yeah. [...] I can't lie, [...] I'm not in the show, I'm [...] not in the show,
