I could ask
for no better models.

:48:17
The gentleman has a question. What is it?
:48:21
The question is,
will I feel better tomorrow?

:48:27
- Have you an answer?
- Yes.

:48:29
This boy's got something.
:48:33
- You're not taking him seriously.
- Why not?

:48:36
I'll show you.
:48:39
- Isn't it some sort of a code they use?
- Of course.

:48:43
Notice how deliberately
she accents certain words.

:48:56
Thank you.
:48:58
This question...
can you tell me how it is signed?

:49:02
- It is signed with the initial "R."
- That's right!

:49:07
Can you describe the person
who wrote this question?

:49:11
- She's very beautiful.
- I agree with you, Mr. Stanton.

:49:15
She's quite beautiful.
:49:18
Now read the lady's question.
:49:22
The question is, "Do you think my mother
will recover from her present illness?"

:49:27
Is that correct?
:49:29
What is your answer?
:49:32
I'm afraid a truthful reply to that question
will appear rather strange.

:49:36
- I don't know whether I should answer it or not.
- Why?

:49:43
I get the impression
that the lady's mother...

:49:46
has been dead for some time.
:49:51
If that is incorrect, will the lady please say so.
