00:00What is your name?
00:02My name is Adolf Eichmann.

01:31Without me, they wouldn't be within a million miles of this trial.
01:34And without you, they wouldn't have a tenth of the audience that they have.
01:37This is gonna be mentally and physically the most interesting thing you ever do.
01:42All right, gentlemen.
01:44This is it.
01:46Moment of truth.
01:47Moment of truth.
