You probably
don't even remember.
353
00:16:33,419 --> 00:16:36,759
You had disappointed me
and I was upset.
354

Oh. Right.

plus some stuff
you don't know about,

I do.
With all my heart. Mm.

I never cared for cheese.

but not anymore.

You are also good,
but inconsistent.

shambles on grass.
398

Hard court, an embarrassment.

Always hurting themselves.

than you. (growls)

Not now.
