00:10Public opinion, money, prestige and all that.

00:12Have you so fully changed that these things won't matter to you anymore at all?

00:18No.

00:18So Maya smiles.

00:20Even as you contemplate your resignation and such things, she smiles.

00:27So you will resign and then regret the decision.
