:50:05
It's so painful to see you again,
:50:08
and find you unchanged.
:50:10
I'd prefer to find you
ravaged, submissive,
:50:14
rendered stupid by wealth.
:50:16
Then I could have lived

:50:20

You think I'm a monster,

:51:39
But who they are really,
:51:41
who they are deep down,
:51:44
they conceal with great care.
:51:47
- You speak for yourself.
- No, everyone. You as well.
:51:52
I find your ways quite indiscreet.
:51:55
