01:00What do you mean, at the club?
01:15It's fantastic.
01:18It's incredible.
01:21Watson, my dear fellow.
01:24Absolutely fantastic.
01:26Oh, what's happened?
01:27You look as if you've seen a ghost.
01:28A ghost?
01:29Brandy, that's what I need, brandy.
01:30Brandy.
01:33Here.
01:34Oh, thank you.
01:36Who struck you?
01:37Well, you said it yourself.
01:39It was a ghost.
01:40And without any previous warning at all, he hit me in the eye.
01:43Wait a minute.
01:44I think you'd better have another.
01:46Well, I'll...
01:51And now I'll begin again.
01:53Who struck you?
01:55Upon my words.
01:57Holmes, it was a ghost.
01:58A ghost.
01:59Huh?
02:00Do you have a headache, Watson?
02:01It may seem humorous to you, but I mean, look, let me tell you from the beginning.
02:04Yes, please do, but start right at the beginning.
02:06Right.
02:07Well, I was on my way back from the club.
02:08You see, it was about 8 o'clock.
02:10And I got into Spender Street, and there was just obviously that little tobacconist.
02:13You know, makes that...
02:14Yes, yes, I know, yes.
02:15Go on, Watson.
02:16What did you do then?
02:17Well, I saw a man in front of me suddenly clutch his chest.
02:19He was walking towards you?
02:21How do you know?
02:22Well, I mean, you said he staggered and clutched his chest.
02:24You must have been...
02:25Yeah, yeah, that's logical.
02:26Anyway.
02:27Yes, well, anyway, I rushed up to him to help him, you see.
02:29And he's still able to mumble something about...
02:31He had a heart, and he lived in 19 Hooper Street.
02:34And would I help him get there?
02:36There were no other pedestrians?
02:37No, no.
02:38The street was completely deserted.
02:39Good.
02:40Go on.
02:41Well, then his landlady let us in, and he was unconscious by that time.
02:43So I carried him up to his room, and I laid him out on his bed, and Holmes, he was dead.
02:47Now, look here, Holmes.
02:48He was absolutely, completely, and utterly dead.
02:50I couldn't make a mistake about a thing like that.
02:52No, no, no.
02:53Of course you couldn't, old man.
02:54No, no.
02:55Go on, then.
02:56Well, then I told the landlady...
02:58The landlady rather said to me that she'd call the authorities, you see.
03:01And I left my name with her just in case, you know, they'd want me.
03:04And then...
03:05Well, I thought it would be rather more delicate if I left, you see.
03:07I mean, he must have relations.
03:08Yes, yes, yes.
03:09That's quite right.
03:10Quite right, Watson.
03:11The most delicate situation.
03:12What was the man's name?
03:14Higgins.
03:15Albert Higgins.
03:16Uh-huh.
03:17I see.
03:18And what did you do after you left the house?
03:19Well, you see, it had been a bit of an effort, you know, carrying him up like that.
03:23So I got down the stairs and popped across the road into a pub and had a pint.
03:27Yes.
03:28And then I started off back to the flat, you see.
03:31Well, I just turned the corner into Spender Street and there was...
03:34Higgins, Albert Higgins?
03:35Yes, yes, just face to face with me.
03:37There he was, large as life.
03:38We stood looking at each other for a minute.
03:39Then he lashed out and hit me in the eye.
03:41And then...
03:42Then really, Holmes, he vanished.
03:44Vanished?
03:45Yes, into the blue.
03:47Well, he ran away.
03:48Well, the street was rather ill-lit, you know,
03:50and it took me a minute or two to pull myself together.
03:52And then I don't know whether he ran away or not, but he vanished.
03:55Well, that's most unusual.
03:57Most?
03:58Did you speak to this ghost?
04:01Well, I may have said good gracious Higgins or by Jove Higgins or even good heavens Higgins.
04:07Yes, yes, perfectly natural, Watson.
04:09Describe Higgins to me.
04:11Well, he's 50-ish, sandy-haired, medium build.
04:15Is that all you observed?
04:17No characteristics?
04:18Well, really, Holmes, when I had the chance of examining him on the bed,
04:21the most obvious characteristic was he was dead.
04:23Yes, yes.
04:24How was he dressed?
04:26Green tweed suit.
04:28What?
04:29Just wear a green tweed suit.
04:30He must have been wearing something more than that in this weather.
04:32Oh, no, no, no.
04:33He had a big floppy hat and a long overcoat.
04:36Ah.
04:37Oh, and something else.
04:38Yes, I did notice something else.
04:39He limped.
04:40Ah-ha.
04:41And was he carrying a cane?
04:43No, no cane.
04:44What is he?
04:45Anything else, Watson?
04:46Think hard.
04:48Hmm.
04:49Um.
04:50Uh.
04:51Oh, yes, yes, I remember something now.
04:53What?
04:54Yes, the second time I saw him, he was carrying a package.
04:58But the first time, he didn't have one.
05:01Ah, now this is curious.
05:04Very curious.
05:06Where are you going, Holmes?
05:07Not me.
05:08We.
05:09I'm in no condition to leave the house.
05:10Then a morsel of raw beef will immeasurably improve your appearance.
05:12And then what?
05:13Then we shall do our best to track down the belligerent ghost of Albert Higgins.
05:17Fascinating idea, don't you think?
05:19Well, the whole thing's been most unnerving, you know.
05:21I mean, he knocks the window out of the cabinet.
05:23Oh, really, no.
05:24He was also a rather flamboyant character by the wide, rakish brim.
05:43Hmm.
05:44I see he was an artist, too.
05:46Though he hasn't painted very much recently.
05:48Notice the specks of paint underneath the brim here.
05:51And not house paint, but canvas oils.
05:54Here.
05:55Watch this.
05:56Who are you, Jensen?
05:57What are you doing in poor Albert's room?
05:59Oh, good evening, Mrs. Blake.
06:00You remember me, Dr. Watson?
06:02You're the bloke who brought poor Albert in?
06:05Yes, yes.
06:06Who's your gentleman friend?
06:07Ah, this is Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
06:09Mrs. Maggie Blake, the landlady.
06:12Pleased to meet you, I'm sure, Mr. Holmes.
06:15Oh, poor old Albert.
06:18He was proper fond of life, Albert.
06:20He wouldn't have popped off if he had had his way.
06:24Oh, few of us would, madam.
06:26I was around at the local having me good night pint.
06:29And grieving for poor old Albert.
06:32He would have wanted a proper send-off,
06:34with a pint of mild and bitter, Albert, would?
06:37No doubt he would, madam.
06:39The body, I see, has been removed by the authorities.
06:42Oh, poor old Albert on a slab.
06:49Oh, dear, oh dear.
06:50Have you notified his next of kin, Mrs. Blake?
06:54No.
06:55He had none.
06:56He was all alone.
06:58Oh, I see.
06:59Where was Mr. Higgins employed, madam?
07:02At the Pembroke Museum,
07:03right around the corner in Spender Street.
07:06It's a picture museum.
07:08Albert was a day watchman.
07:10A day watchman, you say?
07:12What were his working hours?
07:14Nine in the morning till nine in the evening.
07:16Punctual as a clock, Albert was.
07:18Never late a minute.
07:20Poor Albert.
07:22He always came back from the museum, then,
07:24at a few minutes after nine every evening.
07:27Aye, to make his supper.
07:29He was a proper good cook, Albert was.
07:32Excuse my saying so, madam, but aren't you mistaken?
07:35Surely it's a little after eight when Mr. Higgins finished work?
07:38Because it was only a little after eight
07:40when I picked him up this evening and brought him here.
07:42Oh, no, doctor.
07:43It was just after nine.
07:44I marked the time because I was waiting for Albert to come back.
07:48He had asked me to get him a cut of beef.
07:50He always came back just after nine.
07:53He'll never eat that beef now.
07:55Poor Albert won't.
07:58Elwitch, you in the yard?
08:00Hmm?
08:01Oh, no, no, no.
08:03I just bumped into a door.
08:05Oh.
08:06You shouldn't get familiar with a door,
08:08if you know what I mean.
08:10Well, really, that was...
08:12Yes, I think we've found her all we can for the time being, Watson.
08:15Thank you, madam.
08:16We shan't intrude on your grief any further.
08:20Poor old Albert.
08:22It really is most embarrassing about this, I, Holmes.
08:25Did you hear what she inferred?
08:27It's a terrible situation.
08:28And she's wrong about the time.
08:30It was only a little after eight.
08:32And it's only a few minutes' walk to Spender Street.
08:35Yes.
08:36Time is a curious dimension, Watson.
08:38Habit and a preconceived notion
08:40can so easily reverse the hands of a clock.
08:43And yet the clock is still in perfect working order.
08:46Where are we going?
08:47To view the mortal remains of poor old Albert Higgins.
08:59Well, there he is, Mr. Holmes.
09:01Nice and peaceful, I gave.
09:03Poor chap.
09:04Hmm.
09:05See anything, Holmes?
09:06Nothing that I haven't already deduced.
09:08Except that I drew an erroneous conclusion from his hat.
09:11He has painted recently,
09:13but indoors with his hat off.
09:15There are still traces of paint
09:17quite fresh under his fingernails.
09:19What does that mean?
09:21I haven't the faintest idea.
09:23Well, you gents aren't the only ones
09:25interested in this dearly departed.
09:27Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yards
09:29looked him over, too.
09:30Oh, indeed.
09:31Oh, he's still here if you'd like to talk to him.
09:33Well, that should be very informative
09:35for one or the other, or both of us.
09:37I can't understand it, Holmes.
09:40I'm absolutely sure this is the man who punched me.
09:43I'm positive.
09:44But also the one who had the heart attack?
09:46Yes, I'm sure of it.
09:47One and the same.
09:48Well, he's punched his last punch.
09:50Well, he probably is there punching him
09:52full of holes with pitchforks.
09:56Yes, well, I think we've seen and heard enough.
09:58Would you like to take us to Inspector Lestrade now, please?
10:01Yes.
10:07Ah, hello, Inspector.
10:09Oh, Mr. Holmes, I'm surprised to see you here.
10:12Now, this is one case you can't make anything queer out of.
10:15Then why, my dear Inspector Lestrade, are you here?
10:18Well, when they brought him in,
10:20somebody recognized him as Pound Road Albert Higgins.
10:23I came along to check their identification.
10:25We like to keep a track of our old pals, you know.
10:27What was he in prison for?
10:30He made the best pound note you ever saw.
10:33Yes, he was a real artist.
10:36Lestrade, there's no doubt as to the cause of death, is there?
10:39Oh, sorry, Holmes.
10:40Heart failure.
10:41No foul play.
10:43I understand you were with him in his last moments.
10:45Yes, I was with him on the street when he had the attack
10:47and I took him home.
10:48There was nothing you could do, I suppose.
10:50Nothing.
10:51He was dead before I had a chance to do anything.
10:53By the way, what time was he brought in?
10:55Oh, let me see now.
10:57It would be about...
10:59Ah, yes, here we are.
11:01Quarter to ten.
11:03Higgins' landlady notified Constable Smithers
11:05at half past nine.
11:07Smithers had them remove the body in a matter of minutes.
11:10Inspector, are you sure it was half past nine
11:12and not half past eight?
11:13No, half past nine is right here in Smithers' report.
11:16Why?
11:17Oh, I...
11:18Well, I...
11:19No, it's nothing, nothing at all.
11:21You're quite sure, Lestrade, there's nothing more to this
11:23than a simple case of natural causes.
11:25Ah, no, there's no mystery at all.
11:28No mystery, Mr. Holmes.
11:32What happened to your eye, Dr. Watson?
11:34Oh, I... I bumped into a door.
11:36A door?
11:39Oh, well, that's a new one anyway.
11:41Was it a pretty door?
11:42Oh, really, Lestrade!
11:45That's all right, Watson.
11:46I won't tell a soul.
11:52Well, really, this is insufferable, Holmes.
11:54Nobody believes me.
11:55Well, why did you tell them the truth?
11:56What, that I was punched by a ghost?
11:58Yes, yes, I see what you mean.
12:00We may have to take on this case anyway,
12:02if only to protect your honour and reputation.
12:05Oh, it's intolerable, Holmes.
12:07Absolutely intolerable.
12:24Oh, evening, Watson.
12:42Evening.
12:43Anything wrong?
12:46No, nothing, nothing.
12:48Of course not, everything's fine.
12:50You're sure you're not brooding over last night's affair, are you?
12:53Of course I'm not. Don't be so ridiculous.
12:55Oh, come on. Out with it, man.
12:57Well, I...
12:59No, there's nothing to come out with.
13:01I don't know what you're talking about.
13:03Oh, come on, Watson. There's something on your mind.
13:05Well, I...
13:07Gosh! You'd never believe it.
13:09Nobody would believe it.
13:11Well?
13:13Well, I met Albert Higgins
13:15in Spender Street again tonight.
13:17And he punched you again?
13:23He pulled my nose!
13:25Didn't he?
13:27Very, very interesting, Watson.
13:37My dear Watson,
13:39calm yourself.
13:41Look here, Holmes.
13:43This whole Higgins affair's gone too far.
13:45First of all, last night and now tonight.
13:47Calm yourself, Watson, and relate.
13:49Everything hangs on this second encounter.
13:51Well, it occurred just as it had last night.
13:53I was on my way back from the club,
13:55and I'd reached Spender Street.
13:57It was a few minutes ago, as a matter of fact,
13:59just after 9 o'clock.
14:01I'd stayed rather late in the club than usual.
14:03There was a chap from Afghanistan.
14:05He was awfully interesting.
14:07Yes, yes, Watson. Get on with his story.
14:09Well, I was rather preoccupied, as you know.
14:11This affair's cut me up, rather,
14:13and I may not say.
14:15Anyway, I was walking along.
14:17I suddenly looked up, and there was the pedestrian,
14:19walking towards you.
14:21Why, yes. Of course, I didn't recognize him
14:23straightaway, for, uh, you know who.
14:25Anyway,
14:27I sidestepped him past,
14:29and he sidestepped to let me past,
14:31and then we sort of zigzagged about a bit,
14:33you know what it is, on the street,
14:35and ended up by bumping into each other.
14:37Now, that's when you recognized Albert Higgins.
14:39But it was Higgins. I couldn't be mistaken.
14:41Good heavens, man, I know him like my own brother.
14:43Dressed as he was last night?
14:45Exactly.
14:47He put his hand on his hand, and he...
14:49Well, yes, we'll go into that.
14:51And then he was gone, vanished.
14:53Capital, Watson, capital. Everything begins to fall into place.
14:55Now, there's one more question. Was he carrying a package?
14:57Well, um...
14:59Yes, yes, he was, just like last time.
15:01I say, Holmes,
15:03do you, um, do you believe, uh...
15:05What?
15:07Supernatural?
15:09Uh, ghosts, do you mean?
15:11It sounds silly, I know,
15:13but, um, Higgins did die
15:15of a heart attack. There was no foul play.
15:17No foul play?
15:19Why, the whole affair reeks of foul play.
15:21I can tell you, Watson,
15:23I am in idle today.
15:25Do you know that the Pembroke Museum is showing a collection
15:27of paintings on loan from the Italian government,
15:29and that included amongst those paintings
15:31is Leonardo da Vinci's Moonlight Madonna?
15:33Well, I did read something about it in the paper.
15:35What's that got to do with Albert Higgins?
15:37Well, we must now pay a visit to the good inspector
15:39and inform him that if the ghost of Albert Higgins
15:41hadn't struck him in the eye...
15:43Oh, hand-pulled your nose.
15:45I would never have suspected the Moonlight Madonna
15:47would be stolen from the museum.
15:49What? Well, it's quite obvious, isn't it?
15:51Well, of course.
15:59Merci. Ah, thank you.
16:03Well, through no, Mr. Holmes,
16:05but if the picture's still hanging
16:07in its place, and we've dragged the curator
16:09out of bed to check on it,
16:11well, false alarms like this don't exactly
16:13help the yard's reputation, you know.
16:15And what about my reputation, inspector?
16:17When I say a man died
16:19a little after eight,
16:21he died a little after eight,
16:23and not a little after nine.
16:25And when I say these ghosts punched me in the eye
16:27half an hour later, hang it,
16:29he punched me in the eye!
16:31Oh, we all have our off days, Dr. Watson.
16:33To err is human, as the poets say.
16:35And furthermore, if I tell you
16:37that I bumped into this chap's ghost
16:39again tonight, you didn't...
16:41And didn't tell me about any second meeting.
16:43Oh. Oh, didn't I?
16:45Well, nothing, nothing.
16:47An hallucination, that's what you had,
16:49Dr. Watson.
16:51Yes, it's, um, psychological.
16:53That's the thing in crime today,
16:55psychology.
16:57I've been studying it, you know.
16:59You astonish me, inspector.
17:01Oh, we're not
17:03as backwards as you think, Holmes.
17:05Oh, we like to keep abreast
17:07of the times.
17:09Though I don't mind admitting I don't think
17:11that psychology's got much of a future.
17:13Oh, come in.
17:17Ah, Hawkins, you saw the curator?
17:19Oh, yes, sir. I called him, Mr. Bentham,
17:21as you instructed, sir.
17:23He was quite excited when I told him this picture
17:25called The Moonlight Madonna had been stolen.
17:27And? And so we rushed around the corner to the museum.
17:29And?
17:31Well, sir, the picture was there,
17:33hanging in its proper place.
17:35Good night, sir.
17:41Well,
17:43there you are, Holmes.
17:45As I said to Dr. Watson,
17:47to err is human.
17:49Can I give you gentlemen a lift anywhere?
17:51Hmm. Thank you, inspector.
17:53Oh, I think it might be a good idea
17:55if we called at the Pembroke Museum on our way.
17:57But you heard
17:59what Hawkins said.
18:01The picture was hanging in its proper place.
18:03My dear Lestrade.
18:07Hawkins' statement merely proves
18:09that what he and the curator saw
18:11was not The Moonlight Madonna at all,
18:13merely an excellent forgery.
18:19What's he talking about?
18:21Art,
18:23ghosts,
18:25my black eye,
18:27and psychology.
18:33Remarkable.
18:35Remarkable.
18:37Only a microscopic examination
18:39of the brushstroke shows it any different
18:41from da Vinci's work.
18:43Of course, if you still have any doubts,
18:45a chemical analysis of the paint mixtures
18:47will prove them to be of modern manufacture.
18:49No, no, no.
18:51You've quite convinced me, Mr. Holmes.
18:53An analysis is necessary.
18:55Dear me, dear me.
18:57This is catastrophic.
18:59I can't believe it.
19:01Dear me, dear me.
19:03This is catastrophic.
19:05A rather delicate situation, eh?
19:07Delicate?
19:09The Italian government will hold the British government responsible.
19:11The painting is an Italian national treasure.
19:13The theft could easily affect
19:15a pending treaty between the two nations.
19:17Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes,
19:19you must find the original
19:21before the Italians learn the painting's been stolen.
19:23The British government will hold me responsible.
19:25And the yard will hold me responsible.
19:27The most priceless of the lot, too.
19:29Yes, naturally.
19:31Well, we know who stole the painting
19:33and substituted the forgery, Higgins.
19:35All we've got to do now
19:37is find out where he hid it.
19:39Hmm.
19:41What time did you leave the museum, Mr. Benson?
19:43A few minutes before nine.
19:45Higgins was still on duty.
19:47You're quite sure it was Higgins?
19:49I'm certain, Mr. Holmes.
19:51I chatted with him for a few moments
19:53and I couldn't have mistaken his voice.
19:55And the night watchman relieved him at nine.
19:57You heard him say that, Mr. Holmes,
19:59and that he had a package with him when he left.
20:01The night watchman swears uphill and down dale
20:03it was Higgins, all right.
20:05Well, the matter seems to resolve
20:07so very nicely, doesn't it?
20:09Dr. Watson was punched by Higgins
20:11a few minutes after nine,
20:13the night watchman saw him leave at nine,
20:15and you spoke to him a few minutes before nine.
20:17Look, Holmes,
20:19why don't you and Dr. Watson
20:21go home and have a good night's rest?
20:23From now on, it's nothing to do with Higgins.
20:25Yes, from now on,
20:27it's nothing but plain, ordinary,
20:29simple police work.
20:31Nothing you could use a magnifying glass on.
20:33Ah, true.
20:35True, Inspector.
20:37Well, good evening, gentlemen.
20:39Yes, well, good night, gentlemen.
20:51Terrible, Inspector.
20:53Terrible, Inspector. Terrible.
20:55What do we do now?
20:57Interesting affair, eh, Watson?
20:59Look, I don't care what anybody says,
21:01it was after eight when Higgins punched me.
21:03Well, has it occurred to you
21:05that if Higgins didn't punch you,
21:07who had the heart attack?
21:09Well, now, look here, Holmes, I'm...
21:11Oh, confounded, for all I know,
21:13it was Higgins who punched me
21:15and his ghost had the heart attack.
21:17Come on, Watson.
21:23Oh, you might have the common decency
21:25to tell me what we're breaking into.
21:27Shh, whisper.
21:29Well, I am whispering.
21:31Oh, darn it, you have, Watson.
21:33Look here, we both into the rear of the museum
21:35because if so, Holmes,
21:37really, I don't know what's going to happen to us.
21:43Here, hold this.
21:45What? Oh.
21:47Holmes, this is sheer vandalism.
21:49Yes, well, there must be a bit of a vandal in us all.
21:55Holmes, what are you doing?
21:57This is wanton destruction.
21:59I've never seen anything like this in my life.
22:01I forbid you to.
22:03I didn't know this side of your character, Holmes.
22:05I'm shocked.
22:07Ha, just as I thought.
22:09Look, Watson.
22:11Yes, ingenious, isn't it?
22:13And yet, what could be simpler than to attach it
22:15to the back of an old and nubber painting?
22:17How on earth did you work the effort?
22:19Well, I just asked myself where I would hide a stolen canvas.
22:25Holmes, have you gone mad?
22:27No, no, no, no, we're just awaiting events.
22:29I don't think we should have to wait very long.
22:31Oh.
22:33Holmes, have you gone mad?
22:35No, no, no, no, we're just awaiting events.
22:37I don't think we should have to wait very long.
22:39Mr. Holmes!
22:41Dr. Watson!
22:43What's the meaning of this?
22:45Watson, I believe you've already met Mr. Bentham
22:47in his capacity as curator of the Pembroke Museum.
22:49Allow me to present him to you now
22:51as the picture thief.
22:53Charmed, Dr. Watson.
22:55How delighted I...
22:57What is this?
22:59So you discovered
23:01my little hiding place, Mr. Holmes.
23:03I'm curious.
23:05How did you know it was I,
23:07and not the late, lamented Higgins?
23:09Yes, I believe Dr. Watson's story
23:11from the first.
23:13If Higgins died a little after eight,
23:15it must have been someone else
23:17who struck him a little after nine.
23:19But it was Higgins who punched me home.
23:21Don't know, Watson.
23:23It was a limp, a wide, floppy hat
23:25and an exceedingly long overcoat
23:27that punched you,
23:29seen in a dimly lit street.
23:31A psychological misidentification,
23:33as the good inspector would call it.
23:35The night watchman was also
23:37a victim of the same illusion.
23:39And what about the landlady?
23:41How much did you have to pay her
23:43to set back the time of death by an hour,
23:45Mr. Bentham?
23:47Not much, Mr. Holmes.
23:49How did you know it was me?
23:51Dr. Watson and the night watchman
23:53both identified the nine o'clock Higgins
23:55visually at a distance.
23:57Only you pretended to have spoken to him.
23:59This meant that either you were lying
24:01or Dr. Watson was punched in the eye by a ghost.
24:03I believe the simple explanation.
24:05You almost make me feel transparent,
24:07Mr. Holmes.
24:09To anyone who viewed the facts subjectively,
24:11you were.
24:13It's a pity that one crime
24:15has to lead to another.
24:21Yes, and I think it's a great pity,
24:23Holmes, that you broke that vase.
24:25Oh, yes, yes.
24:27But it's only an imitation.
24:29Nonsense, you can't tell me
24:31that that sort of work like this
24:33is an imitation.
24:35Perhaps the pieces can be...
24:39Well done, Watson.
24:41Well done.
24:43You know, Holmes, you didn't have to invite him here
24:45to catch us.
24:47You put us in rather an awkward position.
24:49Oh, my dear fellow, I have sublime confidence
24:51in your ability to extricate us from any of the committee
24:53which my rations may place us.
24:55Might I suggest that you now fetch the good inspector?
24:57Yes, here you are.
25:01Excuse me.
25:07I say, Holmes,
25:09Bentham punched me in the eye.
25:11Who was it tweaked my nose?
25:13Well, my dear old chap,
25:15it was absolutely imperative that I make certain
25:17that the limp, the hat and the coat
25:19were really capable of fooling you.
25:23You?
25:25Yes, I regret to say I not only tweaked your nose,
25:27but I also pulled your leg.
25:31Oh!
25:33What?
26:01Oh!
26:31Oh!
