00:00The problem is that I cannot manage this hurt.

00:03You need not manage hurt.

00:05You need to keep playing on.

00:09Two things. One, there must be fun in the game.

00:13Secondly, there must be a subtle pride at stake.

00:18You don't want to give that wicked lady a walk over.

00:31Believe me, it's not possible.

00:33So you let hurt be there and you continue to move with it.
