I was the vice president.
Alert the media.

:10:04
No, that's...
:10:07
- What did you do?
- We went to the hospital after school.

:10:11
- Mercy?
- Uh, Our Lady.

:10:14
- Oakland.
- It's where I'm from.

:10:19
I interrupted.
:10:20
- Oh, right. I dropped out.
- You worked there?

:10:24
Right. Well, the sisters...
You didn't go to Catholic school?

:10:29
The sisters at the hospital talked
to the sisters at the school...

:10:32
and if we did something like, um...
:10:36
wear a skirt too short
or committed some mortal sin...

:10:40
such as French kissing...

I'm 28. Uh... I said that.
:11:18
So, since high school.
:11:21
U- Uh, not the whole time.
:11:23
I've had remissions.
I've led a pretty normal life.

:11:27
Been to Europe.
:11:31
Finished college. Ran the dash.
:11:34
The hundred.
:11:39
You're not the first woman
in my house.

:11:42
I, uh...
:11:45
Do you know anything
about chemotherapy?

:11:49
Well, I know it's a treatment for...
:11:53
They give me a course of it
every time I fail their blood test.
