00:07Virtually nothing.

00:26We're all connected in the meanwhile.
00:31I wasn't given the language to understand the society that I'm living in.
00:35The angel food cake was the white cake, and the devil food cake was the chocolate cake.

00:49We love us.

01:29Yes.
01:30I do not know if you've done what I did in order to see what you see.
01:46And we keep on keeping on in all the ways and always in the meanwhile.
01:55That's good.
