[03:28.30]Mr Black: Well, I was looking for a second-hand car and I saw this advertisement in the local newspaper and it was the car I wante
[03:38.30]It was &1,150 and it was described as perfec
[03:45.43]I went to see the car. It looked very good, so I bought it...Mr Black.

[05:19.18]Mr Black: Yes, yeah.
[05:20.76]Mary: I'm sorry to be a little pessimistic, Mr Blac
