00:08I don't know.

00:09Come on, champ. Let's take a walk.

00:11What for?

00:12If we walk long enough and talk long enough, we'll get to understand one another. Come on.

00:20Well, athletics isn't everything in life. Do you try your best with your schoolwork?

00:24Sometimes.

00:25Not all the time? Why not?
