00:59you know what would make a nice present stephen what's that you could divorce carrie and let her
01:08marry cullen henderson like i wanted her to so many years ago now that would be a nice present
01:18now pass me a present and it better be expensive
01:25i grew up as an orphan and poor but i was about to discover i had more money than god
01:32how incredibly rude no shock there the orphan boy has no manners sorry i'll just be a minute

02:25surgery is going to cost a quarter of a million dollars i doubt she'll end us that much

06:50write the address down for you but i was just told a few hours ago that she was to have surgery not
06:54that she was being moved i'm trying to come up with 250 000 on my own actually it says that her
07:01condition got worse and her surgery will now cost almost three million dollars three million
07:10yes
07:14but it says here that the bill has already been paid in full what i don't have three million

13:33found a sterling group partner that looked familiar the hopkins group also known as my wife carrie's
