01:00Another journey spent with a sour taste of rejection in my mouth.
01:05Why had Nancy's warm, welcoming smile changed in the space of a few hours to an angry, dismissive glare in the street?
01:13Unless it was the way some women behaved, and I'd just have to get used to it.
01:16But I couldn't believe Nancy was inherently fickle.
01:21Not Nancy.
01:23She was as genuine as rain.
01:25What about that one then?
01:26I wrote to her for an explanation, asking her to reply care of our agent, Joe Bosenby, in London, our next stop.
01:32What about this one then?
01:33First, I signed the letter, Love Richard.
01:37And I changed it to yours, sincerely.
01:39Have a look.
01:40Have a look at those.
01:41I'll bet where they live.
01:42Don't look.
01:43You're tearing them now.
01:44Give us a back.
01:45Give us a back.
01:46I'll look down the old door.
01:49Oh, handcuffs.
01:50I'll look for you after the second house and say goodbye.
01:52And I tried to find you too.
01:54I went to your digs this afternoon.
01:55Went to my digs?
01:56Please.
01:57I do not wish to push into your private life.
01:58It's not that.
02:00But in London, forgive me, you do not intend to have a flat with Miss Blaine.
02:05I don't really see what that's got to do with you.
02:06It's not a criticism.
02:07It's your life.
02:08It's not my business.
02:09I do not ask for those reasons.
02:12Miss Blaine, last time I saw her, I think told me she would have had a flat lent to her at Shepherd Market.
02:17It's much too expensive for me.
02:18Will you live somewhere else then?
02:20I haven't found anywhere yet, but I don't really understand what this is.
02:22Please, I have friends at Wallham Green, and they wish to rent their flat while they are on tour.
02:27You know Wallham Green?
02:28No.
02:28He's near Chelsea, Fulham.
02:30He's not expensive.
02:31Many miles from Shepherd Market.
02:33There is their name and address.
02:35They will be there all today.
02:36You just tell them that Ricardo sent them.
02:39Please excuse me.
02:46Is it really so obvious?
02:48Please?
02:48Me and Julie.
02:50It's like a poster 40 foot high.
02:53I do not judge it.
02:54It is not that.
02:55Only Tommy Beamish has friends.
02:59Big friends.
03:01And he's a madman.
03:04With...
03:04You know his best friend.
03:07He's a boxer, a heavyweight.
03:09That's who he stays with when he's in London.
03:10Now, this man, this man has been many times to prison.
03:18His brain is killed with fighting.
03:20He's no brain anymore.
03:21Please, you and Miss Blaine be very, very careful.
03:23Oh, my.
03:24It's been a maul.
03:25That's who I am.
03:25The only time is that he is.
03:26I have to be a rebel.
03:26I have to be a rebel.
03:27London my part of it was down at heel but very cheerful it tended to break out into
03:55stalls and barrows with the slightest excuse
04:16it wasn't the first time I thought I'd seen Nancy it was enough to see someone with the same colored hair
04:25I told myself I must stop thinking about Nancy Ellis I was getting morbid about her here I was a
04:35healthy young man in London for the first time and with a bob or two in his pocket and all I could do
04:39was mope about the past to the point where I was actually seeing ghosts in broad daylight what a
04:47waste of all the dreams I'd ever had as a boy in the Yorkshire Dales dreams of coming to London and
04:53taking it by storm after all there was somebody here who wasn't just a figment of my imagination
05:00Julie Blaine and she was here in the flesh

08:00Am I still a good lover, Julie?
08:16The very best.
08:20In the whole of London?
08:22In the whole world.
08:25Under my tuition.
08:30I knew I wasn't really the man for Julie.
08:34Just a young substitute for the lover who deserted her.
08:39We weren't in love.
08:42But we were friends within our mutual sexual obsession.
08:46Richard.
08:47Hmm?
08:48I don't suppose you've heard from Nancy, have you?
08:54No.
09:03You're such a dear, sweet boy.
09:07I'm sorry.
09:10I'm really sorry.
09:12I feel like I'm sorry.
09:20Hmm.
09:21Hmm.
09:53Hello, Carson.
10:12Coast clear all the way to Bryden.
10:23Coast clear all the way to Bryden.
10:53I'm not sure which is the best part.
11:21During or after?
11:27During for me, definitely.
11:29I can feel relaxed after a square meal.
11:32For an artist, you can be very crass sometimes, Richard.
11:36I suppose I'm just a rough country lad.
11:39Not like one of your refined actor friends.
11:41You promised not to quarrel about my friends.
11:43Are you starting it?
11:44Didn't.
11:45Didn't.

12:15you enjoying yourself I'm bored you just sit there and looks like you're jaded and mysterious
12:28you'll do my reputation no end of good do you know I nearly said I loved you
12:33there were times when I felt like a bird in Julie's gilded cage
12:45a pampered pet she could show off to her posturing friends and I didn't much like it
13:15so
13:21so
13:27We must find something new for the act.
13:53I thought it went very well tonight.
13:54I didn't.
13:55Not like you two dwarfed, Rick.
13:57You solved it.
13:58I'm working on it.
14:00Of course, we could always include your own personal disappearing act, couldn't we?
14:04My own.
14:06Here, one minute.
14:07Gone the next.
14:09Swallowed up by London.
14:12Or Miss Blaine.
14:15You have been neglecting, as you know, Richard.
14:18He'd never admit it.
14:20But he feels it.
14:21Wish I could believe that.
14:23I'm just enjoying myself, that's all.
14:25Nothing deeper emotional.
14:27Well, as long as you're happy.
14:30I am.
14:31I'm not going to a drink with you.
14:32I'll go.
14:32I'm not going to a drink with you.
14:33I'm not going to a drink with you, Richard.
14:35Richard's coming.
14:36What are we going?
14:37I've got the crown.
14:39Don't be long.
14:44I won't.
14:45What are you doing?
14:52Amputating my right leg below the knee.
14:54Why?
14:56Uh, I don't like the look of it.
14:59I love your legs.
15:09I'd like to draw you like that.
15:11Just lie in there.
15:15Beautiful.
15:15When we could be doing something else.
15:28Shall we find time?
15:33I miss this skin.
15:36I pick up sometimes on my little flat.
15:39Let me still feel it against my fingers.
15:40It's smooth and silky.
15:54No!
15:56I'm cheating, little bitch!
15:57I've caught you!
15:57I'm coming!
15:58I'm cheating, little bitch!
16:00I'm cheating, little bitch!
16:04I'm cheating, little bitch!
16:11I'm cheating!
16:20For goodness sake, Tommy, that's a mess!
16:22This wasn't in the bargain.
16:24Look, I've stopped it.
16:25So shut up.
16:26Shut up.
16:27I've enjoyed meself.
16:28It's lovely.
16:29You!
16:34I don't like this, Tommy.
16:36Let's get out of it.
16:37Tommy!
16:40Now, I'll tell you what I've been doing this week
16:43while you've been bouncing on your back here.
16:46I've been rehearsing somebody into your part
16:49and she opens tomorrow
16:50and you're out on your bare, bleeding arse, Miss Blaine.
16:55Ta-ta!
17:01Look what you've rogered yourself into, Earncastle.
17:04Half a round with an ex-heavy weight.
17:07Turn it up, Tommy.
17:08Come on.
17:08Oh!
17:09Whoa.
17:09Go!
17:10Oh!
17:10Ow!
17:15sc Center.
17:15Look!
17:16All right.
17:17No!
17:21You want fuckingvar Frell?
17:22You've got me.
17:23All right.
17:25Oh!
17:30Oh, God.
17:30No, go, eh? Go, eh, Pete?
17:43I can't. Let me sponge your back in.
17:46No. Don't.
17:48What can I do?
17:51Just get me a drink.
18:00Here.
18:12More.
18:13Don't. Please don't argue.
18:15Just give me another one.
18:21Sorry.
18:23What are you going to do?
18:27Oh.
18:34Why did you let him do that to me?
18:39Can you get to the bed?
18:57He's mad.
19:04I should have known it all along, those things he made me do.
19:08Enjoyed himself.
19:10He'll end up in a lunatic asylum, you'll see.
19:12Oh.
19:14Oh.
19:16Oh.
19:17How did he know we were here tonight?
19:20Has he been having us watched?
19:22He bloody enjoyed it.
19:24He even said so.
19:27He's thrown me out, hasn't he?
19:30You could never work with him again.
19:33No.
19:35Now I'm in London again with no work.
19:40Oh.
19:41Sheila.
19:42Don't touch me.
19:43I don't want to be touched.
19:48I can't get you ashore or a...
19:50No.
19:52Just go, would you?
19:55Please.
19:56Please.
19:59Lock the door when you go.
20:01You must be safe.
20:11Go, please.
20:13Please.
20:35Ugh!
20:43Oh.
20:52Oh, god,uck.
21:10Ugh.
21:12Oh, God.
21:16I had been warned.
21:19Bavara had said I would be broken in pieces.
21:22She wasn't far from the mark.
21:24I felt as if I'd been crushed between two runaway wardrobes.
21:29I spent that night alternately cursing Tommy Beamish and vowing black revenge
21:32and feeling very sorry for myself.
21:36But now and again I managed to raise a wry smile on my bruised lips.
21:39My mother, I thought, wouldn't have had much sympathy for me.
21:44She would have seen my injuries as the wages of sin.
21:48Divine retribution.
21:51Actually, I half believed it was.
22:09Oh, God.
22:26The following night, I managed to struggle through the act.
22:52Only just, I was stiff and the timing was terrible.
22:56I want to talk to you, in ten minutes, in my dressing room.
23:03Get out of the way!
23:10Leave her alone!
23:14I don't know why I'm doing this, this is your job.
23:18Julie?
23:19Julie?
23:20I didn't phone this morning because I hoped she might be asleep.
23:25I'm free to come round now.
23:27What?
23:28Tomorrow then?
23:29What?
23:30Tomorrow then?
23:31No.
23:32Wednesday?
23:33Afternoon, about two o'clock.
23:34Yeah.
23:35Julie, are you sure you're alright?
23:41Yeah.
23:42Julie, are you sure you're alright?
23:48Yes?
23:49I'm very sorry, Uncle.
23:50I know it was all my fault.
23:55I promise it won't happen again.
23:56What have you been doing to yourself?
23:58I was in a fight.
23:59I can see that.
24:00Aren't you big enough to take care of yourself?
24:01I can see that.
24:02Aren't you big enough to take care of yourself?
24:03Yes.

24:07What have you been doing to yourself?
24:10I was in a fight.
24:13I can see that.
24:14Aren't you big enough to take care of yourself?
24:15Not against a heavyweight bruiser.
24:16How the hell did you come to be mixed up with a heavyweight bruiser?
24:20That's all right.
24:21I'm very sorry, Uncle.
24:22I know it was all my fault.
24:23I promise it won't happen again.
24:24I promise I won't happen again.
24:25What have you been doing to yourself?
24:27I was in a fight.
24:28I can see that.
24:29Aren't you big enough to take care of yourself?

28:48I'm sorry, Miss Blaine's not in.

28:51I know it's you.
28:55Richard?
28:55Julie, where were you?
28:56What's happened?
28:58Richard, dear, I'm so sorry.
29:00I was out seeing agents, and I waited and waited for her, and then they told me to come back
29:04again after lunch, and then I waited again for hours.
29:06I was furious.
29:08Don't forget, darling, you're working, and I'm not.
29:09I'm so terribly sorry.
29:12Truly, I am.
29:12Will you forgive me?
29:14Yes, of course.
29:16Shall we make it same time tomorrow?
29:18No, not tomorrow.
29:20What about Sunday?
29:22Right, Sunday.
29:23Same time.
29:24No, I'm lunching with some people in Richmond.
29:28Let's say four o'clock, shall we?
29:31Then I'm sure to be back, and you won't be disappointed.
29:34Bye.
29:34Bye.
29:34Bye.
29:34Anticipation, caution.
30:04Concern.
30:07I experienced all of them as I approached Julie's flat.
30:11The strongest was probably a sense of caution.
30:14I did not want another beating.
30:18But I'd missed her, and I love making.
30:24Yes?
30:26Oh, uh, Miss Blaine's expecting me.
30:29I'm sorry, she's gone away.
30:32Gone?
30:34Where to?
30:36I believe she joined Lewis Atkinson's company.
30:40They went off to Cape Town.
30:42Yesterday, I think.
30:44I'm so sorry.
30:47It doesn't matter.
30:50Did you know her very well?
30:52Not very well, no.
30:53And that was the last time I ever spoke to Julie Blaine.
31:14She was pretending to be someone else.
31:21She was pretending to be someone else.
31:21She was pretending to be someone else.
31:22Really?
31:31Oh, crap.
31:37Oh.
31:37Oh.
31:39Oh.
31:40Oh.
31:40Oh.
31:40Oh.
31:41Oh.
31:41Oh.
31:42Oh.
31:43Oh.
31:43Oh.
31:43Oh.
31:44Oh.
31:44Oh.
31:44Oh.
31:45Oh.
31:45Oh.
31:45Oh.
31:46Oh.
31:47Oh.
31:47Oh.
31:48After Julie had vanished, I had a rush of moral rectitude to the head.
32:01I was going to be different.
32:03I was going to be good in future.
32:05And the best way to ensure that was to find my true love.
32:18Excuse me.
32:24Excuse me.
32:26Good afternoon.
32:27I'm trying to find a friend of mine, Miss Nancy Ellis.
32:30Who?
32:31Miss Nancy Ellis.
32:33Nancy Ellis?
32:38No one of that name here.
32:41She used to be in an act called Susie, Nancy and the Three Gentlemen.
32:44Oh, them!
32:45We no longer book that act.
32:48Well, perhaps you know.
32:48I haven't the slightest idea.
32:59Richard!
33:01Oh, it's gone down a lot, isn't it?
33:04Tough, eh?
33:05Oh, yes.
33:06You go for a drink tonight after the show?
33:08Sorry, I've...
33:08What's happened then?
33:11I've arranged to be somewhere else.
33:13Oh, where?
33:15A pal.
33:16Oh.
33:18Oh.
33:19Going to discuss something with Nick, are you?
33:21What?
33:22Something about the show?
33:24Er, something personal.
33:25Oh, secret, is it?
33:27Yeah.
33:28Well, everything's a secret to me these days.
33:32Only time I ever get to see you and Nick's on stage.
33:35Leave that alone.
33:39Yes?
33:42Went to Joe Bosonby's office today.
33:44Looking for another job, are you?
33:45Um, I wanted to know if anyone knew where Nancy was playing.
33:49You certainly don't let the grass grow under your feet.
33:53Julie Blaine sells for South Africa one day.
33:55Next minute, you're chasing after Nancy Ellis again.
33:58Yeah, if that's your attitude.
33:59Now, what are you telling me about Nancy Ellis for, then?
34:02Joe doesn't book for her anymore.
34:04Oh, I thought you might know somebody who knows where she is.
34:08I might.
34:09I'll see what I can do.
34:13Oh, by the way, talking about Joe Bosonby,
34:16he tells me they've cancelled all Tommy Beamish's London dates
34:20and packed him back up north.
34:21Apparently he got the bird in a couple of other empires as well.
34:25It was you, wasn't it?
34:27You organised it.
34:31Give Tommy the bird.
34:33I told you he wouldn't get away with having a nephew of mine knocked about.
34:37He should have known better.
34:42I got the impression Uncle Nick had revenged himself.
34:45Not me.
34:47But there was no point in asking him if I was right.
34:57I must talk to you, Richard.
35:23Anyhow, this is on my way home.
35:24Uh, come in.
35:29I tried to catch you after the show.
35:31You'd already gone.
35:36Well, I, uh, I got some cold things while I was out,
35:39so I don't know if you're hungry.
35:41There's, uh, lots of cold ham and pears.
35:45Thanks.
35:47What could do with a bite?
35:51What I'd really like is a drink.
35:54Oh, I've only got some beer.
35:58Ah, we'll pour some gin in it.
36:00I've got off a bottle here somewhere.
36:01It's what they call a dog's nose.
36:22It's very good.
36:23I'll let that.
36:28Yeah.
36:33Nice flat, this.
36:36It's nothing of a kind.
36:39Can't wait to get out.
36:42It does for now.
36:43What do you think of me, Richard?
36:53I want a straight, honest answer.
36:55I don't care.
36:56So long as it's the truth.
36:59Looks and figure first.
37:01I'm a girl, aren't I?
37:02I'm not asking if I'll do for a bank manager.
37:04Shh.
37:07Well, your face isn't bad.
37:10You figure it's better still.
37:12No, I don't think you, uh, always make the best of yourself.
37:15Not like Miss Julie bloody Blaine, of course.
37:17Not in that class at all.
37:20Is that when she asked to take an item from Tommy Beamish?
37:25Oh, yeah.
37:27Nick still tells me a few things.
37:28Does not know.
37:29She walked out and you, didn't she?
37:34And you can't see why.
37:36She couldn't face you after what, Adam?
37:37No bloody fear.
37:38Not the grand Miss Julie Blaine.
37:41If I'd been in and out of Beverly Hills for weeks,
37:42I'd not have run away from you the way she did.
37:45Well, go on now.
37:46We'll tell you how kind and considerate you are.
37:51Careful you are not to say the wrong things.
37:53You don't have to be sarcastic.
37:59Richard.
38:20Sit down.
38:23I know I'm silly,
38:24but you do like me a little bit, don't you?
38:26I'm so miserable.
38:30I don't know what to do.
38:33Nick hardly ever wants me now.
38:34We aren't living together.
38:36And I thought I wouldn't mind
38:37because I've been living at home.
38:39But there's eight of us in that bloody little house.
38:41And all the time,
38:42it's like a screaming pigsty's hands.
38:44We arms and watch out.
38:47And all I've got is Nick.
38:50And I haven't really got him.
38:59And you, of course,
39:02Richard, dear.
39:06You know how fond of you I am, don't you?
39:12You're right.
39:12I'd have a mess with you if you took that any further, eh?
39:16I know.
39:17I know.
39:20I'd have to have something.
39:27There's a fellow
39:28and he lives two doors from us at home.
39:31He works at a grocer's.
39:35He's quite nice looking
39:36and dresses smart.
39:39He used to be gone, I mean.
39:42Still is, he says.
39:43He's so boring and dreary.
39:48I know everything he's going to say next
39:52and he always gives the same little cough
39:55before he speaks.
39:56I will scream.
40:00Give us a kiss, Richard.
40:07No.
40:08Richard, dear, listen, and tell me the truth.
40:31Has Nick ever spoken to you
40:32about engaging another girl to take my place?
40:34He's worried about two dwarfs, not two girls.
40:37Well, you'd tell me if he did say anything, wouldn't you?
40:38Oh, please, Richard, you must.
40:44Here.
40:46I'm not drinking.
40:48I'll do it if you stay put.
40:50You know it's happening soon, don't you?
40:59To start with,
41:01we'll probably be having two weeks
41:02out at the end of this tour.
41:05I don't care where Nick's going to go
41:06this time.
41:08He'll have to take me with him.
41:14You won't, you know.
41:15I know, really.
41:21I was just talking big.
41:25He'll do just what he wants to do,
41:26like he always does.
41:32Anyhow, we're going round with the same bill.
41:35I mean, like last time, Annie,
41:36not the same turns.
41:38Nick's been working it out with Joe Bozenby.
41:40I don't know who we've got yet.
41:42Some of them might be nice and friendly.
41:43And we'll be together for months.
41:47Mostly in Lancashire at first.
41:48A place I love, I don't think.
41:53Could be fun, couldn't it?
41:55Could be.
41:57Oh, you're a big, long streak of misery, you are.
42:01I was thinking.
42:04About which one?
42:07Innocent little Nancy or wicked old Julie?
42:10I've got other things to think about, you know, sissy.
42:13Not that this time of night you oughtn't go out.
42:21And I'm here, aren't I?
42:22Sissy.
42:24I've got everything they have.
42:27If you don't believe me, I'll show you.
42:29Sissy.
42:31Sissy.
42:31Why can't we have some fun for once?
42:34You gave her plenty, didn't you?
42:35Making me jealous.
42:36Keep still, you silly funny.
42:37Sissy.
42:41If we started something now, we'd go on with it.
42:43And then sooner or later, Uncle Nick would find out.
42:45And then where would we be?
42:46You'd be all right.
42:47We'd both be out.
42:51Look.
42:51We've got months of work, you know, and I can't see him disturbing the act unless he thinks you and me are up to something.
42:58Then he'd be ruthless.
43:01It's just his pride, that's all.
43:05One of his belongings being tampered with.
43:09You don't really want me out now.
43:11No, you don't.
43:16I'm just trying to be sensible for both of us.
43:27It's late.
43:29Shall we get you home?
43:34All right.
43:41Have you got your gin?
43:49See you safely, auntie, Bob.
43:52You make it so much worse, don't you see?
43:57You've only been so lovely, do we?
44:08Oh, good morning, Mr. Alden.
44:10I'm afraid, Mr. Bosby, Mr. Alden, if you wouldn't mind waiting, just...
44:13You can't just walk in there and...
44:15Joe Bosby's theatrical agency.
44:19Well, hello, Nick.
44:21Hello to you, young fella.
44:23Wonderful timing.
44:24Dead on time, as usual.
44:26Have a cigar?
44:28I reckon old Peter should have them ready for you by now to look over, but just make sure.
44:34And I'll tell you frankly, Nick, there isn't another agency in London that have found so many of them for you.
44:39And I'll also admit, while I'm at it, that I couldn't have done it myself.
44:43It's old Peter.
44:44That's no news, Joe.
44:46I know all about old Peter.
44:47What are you paying him now?
44:48Thirty bob a week?
44:49No, certainly not, Nick.
44:52Two quid.
44:53I hope you can afford it.
44:54I don't like to think of you throwing your money around.
44:57Oh, good.
44:58Very good.
44:58Very good.
44:59Put a tune to it and we'll have it top of the bill before Christmas.
45:02Talking of which, the new tour.
45:07The ragtime three are fixed.
45:09They're happy with the middle of the bill, even though they're a big draw.
45:12But about Lily Faris, Nick, oh boy, she has to go on top.
45:17They go off their heads about her in Lancashire.
45:20Not that she's insisted.
45:21It's that manager of hers, that pianist chap, Mergan.
45:24He looks soft, but he's hard as bloody nails.
45:28So am I, Joe.
45:30I know, Nick.
45:31I know.
45:32Harder.
45:33But you're getting the same money as she is.
45:35So why should you bother?
45:37Why not let the little lady have it, eh, Nick, old boy?
45:41I mean, what have you got against it?
45:45Ah, there you are, Peter.
45:48All ready for Mr. Arlington along there?
45:51Quite ready, Mr. Bersenby.
45:54You've been keeping them in order, Mr. Pitter?
45:59Well, I've done my best, sir.
46:01But I'm sure you realise what many of them are like
46:05when they find so many others are there.
46:08They're not easy to deal with, sir.
46:12And may I ask how you've been keeping?
46:14Can't grumble, Mr. Pitter.
46:15This is my nephew, Richard Herncastle.
46:17A very great pleasure, Mr. Herncastle.
46:20I often had the privilege...
46:21All right, Pitter.
46:22Let's get on with it.
46:23Our time's valuable, even though yours may not be.
46:26Yes, yes, yes, quite so.
46:27I'm very sorry, sir.
46:29This way, gentlemen, please.
46:31No, I'm not coming.
46:32You go ahead, Nick, old boy.
46:33Pick who you like and give me the bloody creeps.
46:36Yes, and it must be extremely irritating.
46:59Well, it is, but...
47:01OK, to you.
47:03This way, sir.
47:08So, you run back to it.
47:09Yes.
47:10Yes.
47:10Oh sit down, sit down, sit down.
47:40Sit down, sit down, down into your chairs, come along, sit down.
47:58It was like I was in some weird dream.
48:02I was genuinely sorry for them and half ashamed of myself for being so different.
48:10I was genuinely sorry for them.
48:40You've chosen one, sir.
48:59Yes, what's his name?
49:00Philip Tubey, sir.
49:02Mr. Tubey.
49:08Name's Ollerton.
49:09Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ollerton.
49:10We'll be writing to you, of course, to let you know when you should join us up north.
49:14Well done.
49:16It wasn't their fault, of course, poor little chaps.
49:37It was probably more to do with my mood of defeat and failure in my relationships with people.
49:43But that afternoon, something not just unfortunate, but sinister, crept into my life on the stage.
49:54Now, would you like me to get in touch with him?
49:56No.
49:56No.
49:57No.
49:58No.
49:59No.
50:00No.
50:01No.
50:02No.
50:03No.
50:04No.
50:05No.
50:06No.
50:07No.
50:08No.
50:09No.
50:10No.
50:11No.
50:12No.
50:13No.
50:14No.
50:15No.
50:16No.
50:17No.
50:18No.
50:19No.
50:20No.
50:21No.
50:22No.
50:23No.
50:24No.
50:25No.
50:26No.
50:27No.
50:28No.
50:29No.
50:30No.
50:31No.
50:32No.
50:33No.
50:34No.
50:35No.
50:36No.
50:37No.
50:38No.
50:39No.
