| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:04.4 | My wife had a medical emergency and I abandoned her when she needed me, but I have an |
| 0:09.4 | explanation. |
| 0:10.2 | That explanation better be bulletproof or you're going to get a bullet between those eyes. |
| 0:15.1 | He can't explain Samuel. |
| 0:17.2 | Really? |
| 0:18.0 | How do you explain this? |
