27:11janet ryland or anything but i mean oh oh yeah yeah that's a great idea that's precisely what
27:20i want to do and good then yes exactly that's you know what actually the more i think about it she
27:24actually might be exactly what we want to do she's she's respected but she's not dangerous she's
27:29she's staged she's stateless i mean she's old and cold and i'm warm and young young exactly
27:38and i'm a mother so we should round up katherine at gunpoint if we have to and and maybe andrew
27:47yeah honestly all of america would be watching if it doesn't land then this could be the end
27:53to this whole adventure come on come on melodrama queen tick tock tick tock sludge time yeah it's
27:59gonna be a great idea so call first response get this thing underway we gotta ununfurl
28:05unfurl that's what i just said amy okay so let's just throw as many bodies at this as we can that's
28:12what we're gonna do you may want to wear this mask in case the wind changes oh really and i
28:20don't think so i think yeah okay that's not a bad idea actually it's great to meet you janine
28:27your bravery has been an inspiration for us all now look ma'am i've allotted exactly three minutes
28:34for a small talk okay thank you sue and after that there's a maximum of 10 minutes that's
28:39enough sue their cameras their cameras here if there's anything i can do it is so nice to hear

28:56impacted by this very facility we get a lot of rats if that's what you mean oh well that makes
29:03sense doesn't it of course yeah and he served in the coast guard is that right yes sir it would
29:10have been a mighty privilege to have known him and i i'm sure you know joe that nationally we spend
29:18about 71 per ton of waste on recycling while we spend 86 per ton on collection do you find this
29:27divergence troubling ma'am i just shovel it i don't account for okay this doesn't look great
