00:00I have already taken that polygraph.
00:09The only reason I asked that question is because I knew you had, and I just think it's important
00:14for people to...
00:15Yeah, how did you do it?
00:19I'm sitting here, that's all I can say.
00:27Why was that not done since such a thorough job was done?
