    When watching "Hayate the Combat Butler",
[00:06] ---
    make sure you keep the room bright
    and sit well away from the TV.
SIGN    Sixteen Years Ago
[00:18] ---
    He'll be Hayate.
[00:19] ---
    His name will be Hayate.
[00:22] ---
    Let's name him Hayate.
[00:24] ---
    My, what a wonderful name.
[00:26] ---
    But why?
[00:27] ---
    The reason's obvious, isn't it, Dear?
[00:30] ---
    Because I want him to grow up strong,
[00:32] ---
    so he can run like the gale
    (hayate) away from bill collectors.
[00:35] ---
    Wow, that a fantastic name!
[00:38] ---
    It is, right? I'm a genius!
[00:41] ---
    No matter when we have to
    abandon our child to go on the run,
[00:43] ---
    we'll have nothing to worry about now.
[00:44] ---
    Dear, you really are something else!
[00:48] ---
    Thus named Hayate,
[00:50] ---
    the boy's destiny was thrust
    upon him from the day he was born
[00:53] ---
    to become absolutely perfect at everything.
[00:56] ---
    Do you know, ladies and gentlemen?
[00:58] ---
    That a humongous mansion like
    this exists somewhere in Tokyo?
[01:03] ---
    The Miss's name is Nagi Sanzenin. And...
[01:07] ---
    Her butler's name is Hayate Ayasaki.
[01:10] ---
    They are both a bit clueless
[01:12] ---
    and both have a bit of the
    wrong idea about each other,
[01:14] ---
    but they share the immensely strong,
    loving bond between servant and mistress.
[01:19] ---
    All of America cried!
[01:20] ---
    We'll make ya laugh 3 times in 5 minutes!
[01:22] ---
    Already, no hope for the Academy Award!
[01:25] ---
    Zettai nante shinjinai!
     I don't believe in absolutes!
[01:28] ---
    Fukanou nante nai!
    No such thing as impossible!
[01:31] ---
    Mirai wa hiraku te no naka ni aru
     The future is in the open palm of my hands
[01:36] ---
    Honne o misecha make datoka
    Stuff like, showing your true feelings means defeat
[01:41] ---
    Dentaku hajiku jinsei datoka
     Or a life tapping away at a calculator
[01:47] ---
    Kokoro o itsuwaru kurai nara
     Rather than be false to myself like that
[01:52] ---
    Shichiten-battou baka-shoujiki mo kuuzen-zetsugo!
    I'll struggle to be uniquely naive and honest!
[01:58] ---
    Komatta kao o mireba ki-ni-naru shi
     If I see a troubled look, I'll be concerned
[02:03] ---
    Jinsei isogu riyuu mo betsuni nai shi
    And it's not like I've got a reason to hurry through life
[02:08] ---
    Takara no chizu wa kimi ni azukeyou
    I'll entrust you with the treasure map
[02:14] ---
    Juuou-mujin yori-michi datte tsukiau yo!
    I'll even keep you company on your free-ranging detours
[02:20] ---
    Rakkii-sugiru tenkai
    A development that's way too lucky
[02:22] ---
    Kotae wa mayowanai
    I won't hesitate to give my answer
[02:25] ---
    Kantan sa! Subete wa kimi no tame ni
    It's easy! It's all for you
[02:31] ---
    Fuuhyou wa ki-ni-shinai
    I won't worry about the rumors
[02:33] ---
    Rettou-kan ni doujinai!
     I won't let a sense of inferiority get to me!
[02:36] ---
    Kakedasu shunkan wa ima koko ni aru
    The moment to start running is right here, right now
[02:55] ---
    Like a Dog, a Mouse, and a Bulldog
[02:58] ---
    What's with this painting?
[03:00] ---
    What do you think?
    Is it not a fabulous portrait?
[03:03] ---
    It's apparently a gift of sorts, but...
[03:06] ---
    Just how much do you
    think this is valued at?
[03:09] ---
    And so... Open the price!
[03:11] ---
    Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands,
    ten thousands, hundred thousands,
[03:15] ---
    millions, ten millions...
[03:17] ---
    Two hundred million yen!
[03:19] ---
    It's cheaper than I thought.
[03:21] ---
    I have brought the milk tea.
[03:23] ---
    Thank you for your hard work.
[03:24] ---
    Though, well, in 10 years,
    my autographed illustrations
[03:27] ---
    will probably be worth 100 times
    more than this thing.
[03:29] ---
    Good grief.
[03:31] ---
    It seems you still do not understand...
[03:34] ---
    ...what true quality is!
[03:36] ---
    What did you say?!
[03:37] ---
    Oh?
[03:38] ---
    What's wrong, Hayate?
[03:39] ---
    This is a fake.
[03:41] ---
    What?
[03:42] ---
    Wh-What are you saying?!
[03:44] ---
    You should know that this august painting
    is worth even more
[03:47] ---
    than your debt, which you'll spend
    the rest of your life repaying!
[03:49] ---
    Please excuse me.
[03:57] ---
    What do you think, sir?
[03:59] ---
    It is a fake.
[04:00] ---
    What?!
[04:02] ---
    We actually received word just earlier
    that this painting appears to be a fake.
[04:06] ---
    There we go.
[04:08] ---
    Well, please excuse us.
SIGN    CRUSHED
[04:12] ---
    Hey, where are you going?
[04:14] ---
    Eep!
[04:15] ---
    W-Well, it's been a while,
[04:17] ---
    so I thought I'd go be a Giant
    of Art in the storehouse or something...
[04:19] ---
    See you!
[04:21] ---
    B-But anyway, you have
    a brilliantly discerning eye, Hayate.
[04:25] ---
    How did you know that painting was fake?
[04:28] ---
    Well, that's... uh...
[04:31] ---
    This is from back when I was little,
[04:34] ---
    but well, I used to help with my
    father's business and sell art.
[04:38] ---
    Oh, so your father was an art dealer?
[04:41] ---
    Oh, no, that's not it.
[04:42] ---
    Ah! Truly, you have a sharp eye!
[04:45] ---
    You see, we would first
    show them the real painting
[04:48] ---
    and when the customer had made a purchase,
[04:50] ---
    he would hand it over to me right
    in front of the customer
[04:52] ---
    to avoid suspicion.
[04:53] ---
    The boy will package it up for you then,
[04:55] ---
    so please wait one moment.
[04:57] ---
    We were dealing with valuables,
    so the customers are also wary, but...
[05:02] ---
    They seemed to lower their guard,
    knowing I was a child,
[05:04] ---
    so I would make it look like
    I was packaging up the real thing,
[05:06] ---
    but I would switch it with a fake
    that was hidden behind the real one
[05:08] ---
    and sell the customer that one.
[05:11] ---
    That's a crime, no two ways about it!
[05:13] ---
    I was little, so I didn't
    know it was a crime.
[05:16] ---
    And that was when my father drummed into me
[05:18] ---
    how to instantly recognize fakes
    for all kinds of paintings.
[05:22] ---
    How much worthless information
    did you have drummed into you?
[05:28] ---
    Hayate Ayasaki, protagonist of this manga
    and occasionally its heroine.
[05:31] ---
    He's not out to destroy the Andro Army,
[05:33] ---
    but he possesses an invulnerable body.
[05:35] ---
    The author loved the World
    Masterpiece Theater too much
[05:37] ---
    and before he realized it, he had
    created an utterly unfortunate boy.
[05:41] ---
    Um...
[05:43] ---
    What have you been reading from, Nagi?
[05:46] ---
    Um, excuse me...
[05:47] ---
    Well, something's been bothering me,
[05:50] ---
    so I'm reading the original manga
    from the beginning.
[05:52] ---
    Something that's bothering you?
[05:53] ---
    Never mind that. I wish you
    wouldn't rob me of my job...
[05:57] ---
    You think Hayate's abilities
    are amazing, too, right?
[06:00] ---
    Yes, of course.
[06:02] ---
    Too amazing.
[06:04] ---
    He's deft, but he also
    has great physical strength
[06:07] ---
    and he accomplishes all
    tasks perfectly and swiftly.
[06:13] ---
    Now, on to the next room.
[06:19] ---
    On top of which, he's got
    incomprehensible special powers,
[06:22] ---
    making him too good to be
    the protagonist of a romantic comedy.
[06:25] ---
    Well, we do occasionally get
    the shoehorned battles, so...
[06:29] ---
    So, here's a question I've got.
[06:31] ---
    Doesn't he have any weaknesses or anything?
[06:34] ---
    Huh?
[06:34] ---
    Weaknesses! You know, weaknesses!
[06:36] ---
    Doraemon has mice, Oba-Q has dogs,
    and Goku has his tail.
[06:40] ---
    For the heroes of manga and anime,
[06:42] ---
    they tend to come with
    weaknesses by default, you know?
[06:44] ---
    I see... Is that how it works?
[06:47] ---
    I don't know. Hayate's amazing,
[06:49] ---
    but he's got a bit of this aura
    that makes you want to be mean to him.
[06:53] ---
    Please, stop this.
[06:56] ---
    Well, I won't deny it...
[06:58] ---
    Right?
[06:59] ---
    As someone who shares Robocon's
    weakness, you agree, right?
[07:04] ---
    What does that have
    anything to do with this?!
[07:06] ---
    Or actually...
[07:07] ---
    Oh, really! I wish you wouldn't
    remind me of such unpleasantness!
[07:11] ---
    So, I think Hayate needs a weakness!
[07:14] ---
    Come on! Hinomaru Box!
SIGN    Ru Ma No Hi
[07:20] ---
    I've prepared items that could
    possibly be weaknesses for Hayate
[07:22] ---
    in the form of "Hinomaru" boxes.
[07:25] ---
    Uh, then I'll take the "ma" from "Hinomaru".
[07:26] ---
    Good. Open the box!
[07:32] ---
    Um, Nagi?
[07:34] ---
    Keep that creepy thing away from me!
[07:36] ---
    Then you shouldn't have
    prepared it in the first place.
[07:38] ---
    Darn it!
[07:39] ---
    I guess it really was stupid of us
    to rely on Saito the announcer!
[07:42] ---
    Uh, "us"? It's not like I really...
[07:44] ---
    In the end, we'll just have to discover
    his weaknesses through observation.
[07:47] ---
    I see...
[07:49] ---
    All right, that's correct, too.
[07:53] ---
    I've finally overcome my math weakness.
[07:56] ---
    Darn! Look at that!
[07:57] ---
    One of Hayate's rare
    weaknesses has been overcome!
[08:01] ---
    Um, I don't think that's
    necessarily a bad thing.
[08:05] ---
    Does he have any other weaknesses
    or things he doesn't like?
[08:07] ---
    Time to observe carefully!
[08:08] ---
    Oh, but look at him.
[08:11] ---
    The Miss won't eat sardines like this,
[08:15] ---
    so I'll mince it up a bit and get rid
    of the fishiness with ginger.
[08:19] ---
    And she doesn't like carrots
    or green peppers, either.
[08:21] ---
    Plus, she absolutely won't eat spicy things.
[08:23] ---
    Oh, and she doesn't like
    chicken skin, either.
[08:26] ---
    It seems he's observed you carefully
    on your weaknesses and dislikes.
[08:30] ---
    Honestly, it's because she's
    so picky that her growth is...
[08:34] ---
    I swear! Hayate, you're really... I swear!
[08:39] ---
    Since it's come to this,
[08:40] ---
    we have no choice but to go after him
    with standard weaknesses.
[08:42] ---
    Pardon?
[08:43] ---
    Ta-da!
[08:46] ---
    What do you think? This'll scare him, right?
[08:49] ---
    Yes, it's just scary in all sorts of ways...
[08:52] ---
    Everyone gets scared when a ghost shows up.
[08:54] ---
    This is the perfect plan.
[08:56] ---
    But isn't that more like your own weakness?
[08:59] ---
    All right! Now, I just have to wait
    until night to catch Hayate sleeping...
[09:03] ---
    I do not see the need to wait until night.
[09:06] ---
    Look, if you just darken
    the room like this...
[09:12] ---
    N-N-Nah, Maria, i-isn't it still too early?
[09:16] ---
    Do you think so?
[09:18] ---
    But you'll have to go to these lengths,
[09:21] ---
    or he won't be scared.
[09:25] ---
    You don't have to be that scared...
[09:28] ---
    Ya got a long way to go!
[09:30] ---
    That voice!
[09:33] ---
    Fermented soybeans, red miso soup,
    savory monja pancakes!
[09:35] ---
    If it's weaknesses,
    I'll give ya a run for yer money!
[09:38] ---
    Sakuya...
[09:38] ---
    Where did you pop out from?!
[09:41] ---
    The butler-in-debt's weakness, huh?
[09:43] ---
    All right, leave it to me!
[09:47] ---
    Guys like him sometimes have
    the most unexpected weaknesses!
[09:50] ---
    Unexpected?
[09:54] ---
    Terrifyin' invaders who forced humanity
    to the brink of extinction...
[10:01] ---
    But their sinister plot's
    destroyed by microorganisms!
[10:06] ---
    Isn't that the weakness of aliens?
[10:09] ---
    As I thought, I cannot leave this to Saku.
[10:11] ---
    If only I could come up with a good idea...
[10:14] ---
    I have a good idea.
[10:17] ---
    Isumi!
[10:17] ---
    What's this good idea?
[10:20] ---
    My idea is...
[10:23] ---
    We can simply ask him directly.
[10:27] ---
    I hadn't thought of that!
[10:30] ---
    Huh?
[10:31] ---
    So, what is it that you
    are afraid of, my dear Hayate?
[10:36] ---
    What?
[10:37] ---
    Um...
[10:40] ---
    "This is about where
    I'd be afraid of a cup of tea."
[10:43] ---
    For those of you who don't get it,
[10:45] ---
    please listen to the traditional rakugo
    story called "Scared of Manju Sweets".
[10:49] ---
    What's this, an Edo Era punchline?!
[10:53] ---
    I'm scared of Dom Pérignon!
    I'm scared of Dom Pérignon!
[10:57] ---
    I got the feeling something just went by...
[10:59] ---
    That was just your imagination.
[11:00] ---
    Come to think of it,
    what's yer weakness, Isumi?
[11:03] ---
    What?
[11:04] ---
    Just wonderin' if even the supreme
    Ghost Sweeper's afraid of somethin'.
[11:09] ---
    Something I am afraid of?
[11:11] ---
    I do have something.
[11:13] ---
    Ooh! What's that?
[11:14] ---
    I am afraid of caterpillars.
[11:17] ---
    Caterpillars?
[11:19] ---
    What the heck? That's an awfully
    normal thing to be afraid of.
[11:22] ---
    With a body length of 180 meters
    and weighing 20,000 tons,
[11:26] ---
    it is the guardian deity of Infant Island.
[11:28] ---
    It spun a giant cocoon on Tokyo Tower...
[11:30] ---
    Even an atomic heat ray
    attack had no effect on it
[11:34] ---
    and once it became an imago,
[11:35] ---
    it is said to have devastated
    a certain country...
[11:38] ---
    No, no, no, no!
[11:39] ---
    I mean, that's no caterpillar!
[11:42] ---
    Lame...
[11:43] ---
    ...brain...
[11:44] ---
    Lame...
[11:45] ---
    ...brain...
[11:45] ---
    If that'll be all...
[11:46] ---
    Lame...
[11:51] ---
    I won't let you sleep.
    (Nekasanai yo.)
[11:55] ---
    With pleasure.
    (Yorokonde.)
[11:58] ---
    I'm stuffed!
[12:00] ---
    Thanks for the food!
[12:01] ---
    I appreciate you treating us
    to lunch as well.
[12:05] ---
    You are quite welcome.
[12:09] ---
    She certainly left them neatly uneaten.
[12:14] ---
    You probably thought you
    took advantage of my weakness,
[12:17] ---
    but it won't be so easy!
[12:18] ---
    Just you watch, Hayate!
[12:20] ---
    Next, I'll be sure to uncover your weakness!
[12:24] ---
    So you still haven't given up?
[12:26] ---
    Maria.
[12:28] ---
    Once everything's cleaned up,
    would it be all right if I took a break?
[12:31] ---
    Certainly, I won't mind.
[12:34] ---
    What are you going to do, Hayate?
[12:35] ---
    Oh, nothing much. I just thought
    I'd get back to my studies.
[12:39] ---
    Since the finals are coming up.
[12:41] ---
    The finals?
[12:43] ---
    I must work hard to advance
    to the next grade with you, after all.
[12:48] ---
    W-With me...
[12:50] ---
    Th-That's true.
[12:52] ---
    You two better not interfere
    with Hayate's studies, got it?!
[12:56] ---
    By no means are you to get any silly ideas,
[12:58] ---
    such as being hell-bent
    on discovering his weakness!
[13:01] ---
    Ya know...
[13:02] ---
    I shall be careful, Nagi.
[13:04] ---
    Oh, yes, I have the math
    problems from last year.
[13:08] ---
    Would you like to look
    at them for reference?
[13:10] ---
    Yes, I would love to!
[13:13] ---
    Um, this is math, and yet,
    the problems aren't in Japanese...
[13:18] ---
    Yeah, it's in German.
[13:20] ---
    What?! German?!
[13:21] ---
    But Germany is the land of sausages!
[13:24] ---
    Well, they've got other
    things like beer, too, though.
[13:26] ---
    Never mind that! This is way
    beyond the level of "hard"!
[13:33] ---
    H-Hello there, Wataru. Welcome.
[13:35] ---
    We're getting a great
    number of guests today.
[13:38] ---
    So what are you suddenly
    storming in here for?
[13:41] ---
    What am I here for?
    I mean, what's up with this exam?!
[13:44] ---
    Well, Hakuou is
    a prestigious school, after all,
[13:46] ---
    so it's only natural that it's hard.
[13:48] ---
    There's hard and then there's this!
[13:50] ---
    That's right! There's
    no way we can read this.
[13:52] ---
    What?
[13:54] ---
    You guys can't read that?
[13:56] ---
    What?

SIGN    Wataru Tachibana: 2 Languages
[14:04] ---
    Wait, you skipped grades
    and you can't even read German?
[14:08] ---
    I've got my hands full with just English!
[14:10] ---
    But you could choose to have problems
    in English as well on the exam.
[14:14] ---
    Um, even English is kind of iffy for me...
SIGN    Hayate Ayasaki: 1.5 Languages
[14:19] ---
    J-Just for my own reference,
[14:20] ---
    what will happen
    if I should fail or something?
[14:24] ---
    Please don't fall silent.
[14:27] ---
    What should I do?
[14:29] ---
    Goin' to a prestigious
    school sure sounds tough.
[14:32] ---
    I'm so glad I'm goin' to a normal school.
[14:36] ---
    Saku...
[14:37] ---
    Now, then, guess playtime's over.
[14:39] ---
    Ya guys study hard.
[14:42] ---
    C'mon, Isumi, let's go.
[14:43] ---
    What? Me, too?
[14:45] ---
    Yeah, 'cause Wataru won't be able to
    focus on his studies with ya around.
[14:50] ---
    What? Why would Wataru have problems...?
[14:52] ---
    S-Saku, you bastard!
[14:54] ---
    Oh! N-Nothing...
[14:56] ---
    Well, Nagi, we'll leave the rest to ya.
[15:01] ---
    C'mon, let's go, Isumi.
[15:02] ---
    All right.
[15:04] ---
    Sheesh.
[15:05] ---
    Well, no helping it then.
[15:10] ---
    In the meantime,

[15:28] ---
    I have to study!
SIGN    Newest Edition Understandable German
[15:32] ---
    That should do it.
[15:33] ---
    What are you doing, Miss?
[15:37] ---
    Oh, because there's a limit to how much
    you can study on your own.
[15:40] ---
    I figured I'd go look after my
    less accomplished little brother.
[15:43] ---
    I see.
[15:45] ---
    I guess there really
    are limits on your own...
[15:47] ---
    Um, I also...
[15:48] ---
    Because, you see,
[15:50] ---
    unlike you, he's not the sort
    who can do it just by working at it.
[15:53] ---
    Huh?
[15:54] ---
    Uh, um... Miss?
[15:57] ---
    Well, I'm going to go
    tutor Wataru over there.
[16:03] ---
    I will not tolerate a Sanzenin
    butler getting a failing grade.
[16:09] ---
    Yes, Miss.
[16:10] ---
    So, what are you going to do now, Hayate?
[16:13] ---
    Um...
[16:17] ---
    Please tutor me, Maria!
[16:19] ---
    I thought you might say that.
[16:22] ---
    Thank you very much!
[16:24] ---
    I swear! You better be
    at least a little grateful.
[16:27] ---
    I am. Sheesh.
[16:29] ---
    I'd feel bad for Saku
    if you flunked or something,
[16:32] ---
    so work hard.
[16:36] ---
    R-Right.
[16:37] ---
    But I had no idea that both Wataru
    and Isumi had skipped grades.
[16:41] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I guess we never mentioned it.
[16:44] ---
    Without friends, Nagi would probably
    completely stop going to school,
[16:49] ---
    so we had them skip grades with her.
[16:51] ---
    Their grades were good, too, so...
[16:54] ---
    Mind you, it was originally supposed to be
    Isumi and Sakuya who went with her.
[16:59] ---
    What?
[17:00] ---
    The truth is, with Wataru, skipping
    grades was a pretty big stretch.
[17:05] ---
    But there was a reason Wataru
    desperately wanted to go to Hakuou
[17:10] ---
    and only 3 slots available
    for skipping grades, so...

[17:49] ---
    I guess they're close.
[17:52] ---
    Yes.
[17:54] ---
    So, if the Small Beauties
    of Infant Island become lost,
[17:57] ---
    the entire world will surely fall
    into a panic once again...
[18:00] ---
    Nah, enough 'bout that already.
[18:02] ---
    By the way, how's school these days?
[18:05] ---
    Is it still fun?
[18:07] ---
    Yes, but Nagi does not come
    to school much, so...
[18:11] ---
    Then, Wataru's 'bout
    the only playmate you got?
[18:14] ---
    That is not entirely true, but...
[18:17] ---
    I only say hello to Wataru
    every one in a while anyway.
[18:21] ---
    Good grief.
[18:23] ---
    And here I thought maybe they
    were slowly gettin' somewhere.

    Huh? What are you talking about?

    But it is a little worrisome, isn't it?
[18:38] ---
    Pardon?
[18:39] ---
    I mean the Miss and Wataru.
[18:41] ---
    They may still be children,
[18:42] ---
    but for a young man and a young
    woman to be alone is...
[18:45] ---
    Oh, please, Hayate.
[18:47] ---
    Perhaps we should figure out a nice timing
[18:49] ---
    to bring them coffee or something.
[18:51] ---
    You're thinking too much about this.
[18:53] ---
    I mean, if we start talking
    about a young man
[18:55] ---
    and a young woman being alone,
[18:56] ---
    we are also...

    What?

[19:06] ---
    Should we bring them coffee, after all?
    Finding a nice timing for it...
[19:09] ---
    P-Perhaps we should...
[19:11] ---
    But I feel bad that you're
    always tutoring me...
[19:15] ---
    Huh?
[19:17] ---
    What's with this creepy gracious attitude?
[19:20] ---
    Y-You idiot! I'm always gracious!
[19:25] ---
    You'd be more endearing
    if you were always this gracious.
[19:28] ---
    You... Stop that!
[19:29] ---
    Miss!
[19:31] ---
    We have brought you coffee!
[19:33] ---
    Wait...
[19:35] ---
    Nice timing!
[19:37] ---
    Wh-Why are you holding hands
    while you're studying?
[19:45] ---
    You've got this wrong, Hayate!
[19:47] ---
    Th-This just sort of happened...
[19:49] ---
    It just sort of happened...
    and you were trying to do what?
[19:52] ---
    I wasn't trying to do anything!
[19:53] ---
    That's right, Hayate!
    This is a misunderstanding!
[19:55] ---
    That's right! I wouldn't even want
    to do anything to Nagi!
[19:58] ---
    What?!

    Uh, um...
[20:16] ---
    I got lost while I was
    chasing after Sakuya and...
[20:19] ---
    Y-You got it all wrong, Isumi!
[20:20] ---
    Th-Th-This is... You see...
[20:23] ---
    J-Just kidding. I was trying to go
    for a joke or something.
[20:26] ---
    Oh, my, so it was a joke.
[20:29] ---
    Don't ya have any desire
    to make progress here?! Ya wuss!
[20:34] ---
    At this rate, going to the same
    school has been meaningless.
[20:38] ---
    But you see now, don't you?
[20:40] ---
    You don't have to worry about us.
[20:43] ---
    S-So it seems.
[20:45] ---
    Now I can rest easy and go study with Maria.
[20:48] ---
    Yes. You can rest easy and...
[20:52] ---
    Hold on a second. What did
    you say you're going to do?
[20:55] ---
    Oh, as I said, go study with Maria...

    Go study with Maria, just the two of you?!

    How dare you do such a thing
    behind my back?!
[21:05] ---

[21:10] ---
    I don't want to hear your excuses!
