- 4:09more
- 4:10about
- 4:10the
- 4:10historical
- 4:11chance.
- 4:11And
- 4:12that's
- 4:12really
- 4:13something
- 4:13which
- 4:14I've
- 4:15reconsidered
- 4:16a
- 4:16couple
- 4:17of
- 4:17times
- 4:17in
- 4:17terms
- 4:18of

- 5:55in
- 5:55your
- 5:55estimation?
- 5:56When
- 5:57you
- 5:57actually

- 5:57your
- 5:58retail
- 5:58media
- 5:58offerings
- 5:59not
- 5:59towards
- 5:59trade,
- 6:00but
- 6:00towards
- 6:00media,
- 6:01which
- 6:01actually
