02:51I don't think they're doing anything man

02:57Must do here's what I they must do stuff

02:59Before right, that's what I always assume that they they've told everybody what has to happen

03:40Yeah, they do because you never know the names of anyone generally in the orchestra. You know the name of the conductor

03:45It is true. I had an ego. He was harassing his people. What do they do that makes him so great?
