- 5:54I
- 5:54could.
- 5:55I

- 5:55telling
- 5:55you
- 5:56this
- 5:56because
- 5:56I

- 5:59I
- 6:00am
- 6:00tired
- 6:00of
- 6:00watching
- 6:01women
- 6:01get
- 6:01cheated
- 6:02on,
- 6:03lied

- 6:04disrespected
- 6:05in
- 6:05broad
- 6:06daylight
- 6:07and
- 6:07stay
- 6:08because
- 6:08they
- 6:09have
- 6:09already
- 6:09invested
- 6:10so
- 6:10much
- 6:11time
- 6:12that
- 6:12leaving
- 6:12feels
- 6:13like
- 6:13a
- 6:13loss
- 6:13instead
- 6:13of

- 6:16If
- 6:16that
- 6:16man

- 6:17you,
- 6:17he
- 6:17does
- 6:18not
- 6:18respect
- 6:19you.
- 6:20That's
- 6:20not
- 6:20a
- 6:20hard
- 6:20sentence.
- 6:21That
- 6:21is
- 6:22not
- 6:22a
- 6:22complicated
- 6:23idea.
- 6:24But
- 6:24I
- 6:24watch
- 6:24women
- 6:24twist
- 6:25themselves
- 6:25into
- 6:25pretzels
- 6:26trying

- 6:27away,
- 6:28trying
- 6:28to
- 6:29find

- 6:29version
- 6:29of
- 6:29the
- 6:30story
- 6:30where
- 6:30it's
- 6:30not
- 6:31that
- 6:31simple.
- 6:32Because
- 6:32the
- 6:32version
- 6:33where
- 6:33it
- 6:33is
- 6:33that
- 6:33simple
- 6:34means
- 6:34that
- 6:34they
- 6:34would
- 6:34actually
- 6:35have
- 6:35to
- 6:35do

- 6:42you
- 6:43will
- 6:43keep

- 6:45That's
- 6:45not

- 6:46That's
- 6:47just
- 6:47what
- 6:47happens
- 6:47when

- 7:10because
- 7:10somewhere
- 7:11you

- 7:18It's
