00:08 - Josh, I've started an amateur drama club at lunchtime.
00:11 Well, there's four of us, so it's not big, but still.
00:14 - Why are you asking me?
00:18 - I just thought it might be something you'd enjoy.

00:24 - Bread.
00:27 - Yes.
00:29 - I think you should coach the team.

00:33 - Was that a question or a statement?

00:50 - Whoa.
00:51 - Any behavior that threatens our ideal
00:54 will not be tolerated.

01:49 to keep this family together.
01:51 - We have the whole world watching us right now
01:55 and we can't waste this moment.
