:14:13
It was fate.
:14:15
I was meant to get that ticket,
at that moment, at that exact spot.

:14:21
Do you know who Beatrice is?
:14:26
Peter Pan peanut butter,
:14:29
Tropicana orange juice,
:14:30
Rosarita Mexican Food,
:14:32
Swiss Miss cocoa, Samsonite
luggage... The list goes on!

:14:36
- And the other one?
- W.R. Grace.

:14:38
Chemical plants in two dozen states,
:14:40
South America, Europe and Japan.
:14:42
- What's this?
- The ticket.

:14:44
No, I've got that right here.
:14:47
- I got two speeding tickets.
- A two-ticket town?

:15:21
and Harvard diplomas on the walls,
:15:23
it's easy to be intimidated.
:15:26
Don't - that's what they want.
:15:28
That's what they expect,
like all bullies.

:15:31
That's how they win.
:15:34
I don't run away from bullies.
