Do you know

:33:26
Yeah.
:33:30
Why'd you take me home ?
:33:35
You know,

for me.
:33:42
Yeah ?
:33:44
No, I mean why ?
:33:47
Why'd you
do all that ?
:33:50
'Cause you were smart
and funny.
:33:53
And short.
:33:55
We figured
it'd be good for you...
:33:57
to spend a little time
with some tall white people.
