| 0:00.0 | I made a mistake. What's that short version we have that I just love that so much. |
| 0:22.6 | We all fall short sometimes. That's a good point. You're making excuses as you're apologizing. |
| 0:33.1 | I'm taking notes. It is a master class in phony apology. I'm not sure if I worked at it, |
