[Assistant] They'll see that non-combat witches can play irreplaceable roles, commoners can be as capable as witches, and they'll witness the amazing effects when everybody works together. Just like this door. When it's pushed open, a broader world can be seen.

[Assistant] Ashes quietly stared at this woman bathed in sunlight and could not utter a word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tilly's gray hair flew with the sea breeze, reflecting the shining light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was astonishingly beautiful even viewed from behind Time stood still


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was left in this narrow study was only her and ashes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a long while, Tilly turned and smiled slyly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have some special reasons to have chosen iffy and soft feathers. This must be perceptible to Roland. Anna nudged Roland sleeping beside her. Time to get up. A moment. Roland turned over, cuddled her, and smelled her hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After returning to the city of Neverwinter from King's City, he had spent the whole night with Anna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The temporary separation had made their reunion particularly passionate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result, neither of them got out of bed the next morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first time, Anna skipped her magic power practice. Not because she did not want to, but because Roland would not let her leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, she did not want to reject Roland's wooing either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From noon to the dusk, their bedroom was filled with romantic atmosphere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When taking breaks, they just sat in bed and talked about the things that had happened in the two cities recently and their lunch was brought to the bedroom by a maid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, when the maid came, Anna sank her head into the quilt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lowering his head, Roland could see a pair of sapphire-like eyes sparkling at his chest area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he gently caressed Anna's back, Sheen voluntarily moaned as lightly as a cat purring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a year's growth, Anna was not the weak, thin girl he had met in prison a year prior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when curling up her body, she could perfectly embed into Roland's arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he kissed her earlobe from the back, he could see her cheeks gradually flush and her eyelashes tremble. It made her look very cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a long while, she pushed Roland away once again. Wendy and the other girls will be coming back soon. This time there'll be new witches. You need to go wash up. Anna turned around and faced him with a serious look. Mmm. Roland briefly replied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew that he could not postpone anymore, so he kissed her lightly on the lips and rolled out of bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, he helped Anna get dressed, and then put on a coat for himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The basin of water on the table had already cooled down, but this was not a problem for Anna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A line of black fire shot into the water and steam began to rise in the blink of an eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After washing up, Roland sent Anna back to the bedroom and returned to his office on the third floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least he could make it look like he was working diligently before the other witches came back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 15 minutes later, Lightning and Maggie flew into his office through the French window. Your Majesty, they're here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who could have thought that you'd become the king of Grey Castle in only a month?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breeze entered the castle hall first, followed by another four witches, among whom were Lotus and Honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland was familiar with them, but he did not know the other two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Wendy hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have believed it. If Tilly finds out, she'll be very surprised. Roland walked up to welcome them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't held an enthronement yet, so it's okay if you just address me with my old title. But you're indeed a deserved king, Breeze said, bowing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lotus and Honey imitated Breeze's move and bowed exaggeratedly, but yet the other two witches only greeted him by putting one hand on the chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two showed the joy of reunion, while the other two showed skepticism. Roland felt surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, under these circumstances, he would not show his emotion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making a gesture of inviting them, he said with a smile. However, you had an arduous trip. Now enjoy tonight's feast. Make yourself comfortable. This is your home too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the banquet, Lotus and Wendy were called into Roland's office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did everything on Sleeping Island go well? He said to Lotus with a smile, I hope I didn't bring you any trouble during Tilly's absence. Of course not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lotus nodded and then whispered, Oh, well, you gave me a scarf as a present last time, and I haven't thanked you yet. Don't be so formal. Roland waved his hand slightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew that they would become less familiar with him after a period of time away, but this did not mean their personal relationship would be broken. Actually, this unfamiliarity was just temporary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He believed they would soon be able to be comfortable in this union again as long as he treated them as usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that a lot has changed here, but it basically remained the same as when you left. Please just make the city of Neverwinter your home. Yes. Wendy touched her head. You're still our sisters. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lotus lowered her head in a show of embarrassment. However, she seemed to be more relaxed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After you arrived at the castle, I saw something weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aren't iffy and soft feathers witches from Sleeping Island?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland changed the topic because he had noticed that, whenever they discussed and talked about the old days, the two witches seemed alienated from others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although they would speak now and then, they appeared to be less communicative than Sylvie, Evelyn, Candle, and other witches who talked with each other joyfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not know if it was just an illusion, but he felt that Evelyn and Candle feared these two witches a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why Lady Tilly sent witches from the Bloodfang Association here, either. If he is a combat witch, Roland asked a little shocked. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She can summon a cage made from magic power and thereby capture more powerful enemies than herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even ashes, if she's not wearing the god stone of retaliation, would find it hard to get out of, once trapped. What about soft feathers? Wendy asked with curiosity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although she is not a combat witch, she is also powerful, Muddered Lotus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Wolfheart Kingdom's witch, Heidi Morgan, agreed to send these powerful witches to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the members of the Bloodfang Association are very powerful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They not only have many combat witches, but the rest of the non-combat witches have superior abilities as well. They did a lot for the quick construction of Sleeping Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Load aside and appear to be very reluctant to admit this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, they always feel they're superior to others, and often bully the witches with less abilities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number of witches in the fjords would have dropped by more than half if it wasn't for Lady Tilly's great efforts to stop them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this may be the reason why Evelyn and Candle looked afraid in front of them, he thought. Okay, I got it. Just have a good rest today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland comforted Lotus and then looked at Wendy, saying, well, please arrange for their accommodation and keep the witches of the Bloodfang Association away from them. I'll test their abilities in detail tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, your majesty, Wendy said while stroking her chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the two witches left, Nightingale appeared beside him with a fillet in her mouth and asked, Do we need to ask someone to keep an eye on them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witches to the fjords have never had to experience life and death together like the witches of the witch cooperation association. They're blended with many other witch groups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In reality, it isn't strange for them to have such opinions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the saying went, it was very odd for a party to form without any smaller factions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things like this will also happen in the witch union sooner or later when it expands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the competition among factions also has its merits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Internal competition will make the union become stronger as long as the competition is benign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just puzzled about why Tilly sent combat witches here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland patted his forehead and took the envelope from the drawer. He spread it out on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition to the five witches, Tilly also brought a stack of ancient books and a letter in her own handwriting. Due to the banquet, he had yet to check them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In her letter, Tilly introduced the background of the ancient books and the odd parts of these books in detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, she put forward her ideas about sea-line and hoped that Roland could help Thunder build a ship that could go against the current.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, Thunder had told Roland himself about the latter part. What Roland was shocked most was about the first half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He thought to himself, the books are from different ages and places and they were collected and put into these remains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the contents of these books had even disappeared for hundreds of years, which meant someone had come across the remains on the seafloor. Who were these people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the back of the letter was a brief introduction to the ability of the two new witches, and what Roland cared about most was the last paragraph at the end of the passage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we know about this world is still vague and obscure, and our knowledge is not even as thorough as the Unions 400 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we want to defeat our enemies, we should know about our enemies first. In this regard, their abilities could probably help us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, once the idea had crossed his mind, it would not leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though risks do exist, the reward would be very handsome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, those boxes of magic stones left by Agatha are really tempting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they are made into sigils, then they would be as significant as a steam engine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, he had thought about it before, but it was very difficult to put into practice. So, he had to give it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, with the help of Ife and Breeze, he seemed to suddenly get closer to his goal. What does the letter say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately Tilly just left me to make the decision without any explanation. What kind of decision? She asked curiously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To capture the demons, Roland said slowly, one word at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blocking the highway? What are they thinking? It's infuriating. They may feel like they've been overlooked, but they can't be allowed to block a highway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That should be a punishable offense. The state has to take a harder line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we might as well, I suppose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he was not coward. He would have tried sticks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we said goodbye to each other, he gave it to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he gave me the knife, and he'd like it if you had something that could take care of you. I think he's very strong, the elephant, and I like him very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Don Hudson looking at a guy who's been in the league four years. He knew. The great ones know greatness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But continue good and sincere concern for us and lead us in the right road. Your loving pupil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're killing me softly right now, honey. I know who I had back then. No, really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sex and the City movie 1 and 2. Oh. So you saw Miley's cameo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] B plus. I'm going to give the second one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it throws the whole thing. And then I watched The Ultimatum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know where to begin because I also don't want to spoil it for people because it just came out. But I am stunned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is just too much to unpack here. None of the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Picked their original people from what I've seen so far, like to live with and do a trial marriage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I put it on, and at first when I put it on, I was like, how can you recreate magic? You know, the first season was good, how can you recreate this kind of magic? And sure enough, I mean, the bomb that was dropped, that she was pregnant,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thoughts on the Roxanne swapping situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Roxanne and Alex, they go to Alex's parents and Roxanne was like, yeah, I could just talk about business all day. And the parents were like, alright, well you can't, that's not a relationship. You can't talk about business all day long. And then the parents were like, kinda,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda like, alright, maybe you two, maybe you two should get- I was- I was stunned because they don't know this person at all. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for Alex, it seemed like he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I... I think she's confused about what she wants, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that is what it is. I'm sorry, I hate to break it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, oh my god, the way that his ears perk up when she compliments him in his business. I know. Like, she was like, you're a businessman, and he was like, yup. I'm like, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, guys who just need their ego fed, like, yes, I'm a businessman. I'm an entrepreneur. Like, we get it, Alex. Okay. And like, you're so much better than her other guy who actually seems like a nice guy. Yeah, he does. Uhm, and like when he was explaining that, you know, he was stuck in a rut and he like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because you're comfortable does not mean you need to be with this person. Like you're just settling at this point. You clearly are not in love with them. There's so many things you're not compatible on on different levels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I started watching it and then we found out who won and we were going to be interviewing and so I never got to fully finish it. But I was like, I got past Caso Moore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't had the time to like really dive into suits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the PSA about the sharks, Kate? Do you have a grade for the documentary or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh Noah, wasn't the documentary you wanted. He's like, damn, I really wish more people were getting bitten by sharks, huh? I think there's probably more shark things that you could look into that will fulfill that. There's a whole week dedicated to sharks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's probably it. You need a reality show with the sharks. Alright, that's everything we watched this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couldn't be a better couple if they were made on purpose, I'd say. They look very natty. Arm in crook together and their best clothes on. If he's the well-favoured fellow we used to be. Fancy Paris clothes? They say eat and talk French as fast as a maiden can eat blackberries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes! I didn't see you there. That's no surprise by now, eh? Well, half of what's visible ain't worth looking at. Wouldn't you say, Mrs. Jobright? I was sorry to hear about your condition, Clem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your work was as low class as mine, you could go on. Just the same. Yes. Yes! No!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much do you get for cutting those furrows bundles on free? Half a crown hundred. On these long days I can live well on the wages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Faden's best friend, Cygnus, kept looking into the river to see some sign of his lost friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great admirer of the nature god Pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pan would often come to Midas court and play his pipes to entertain Midas and his guests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day Midas had drunk a little more than he should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He admired Pan's music so much that he said loudly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not even Apollo himself could make such beautiful music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of his guests said to him that it was unwise to talk about a god like that, but Midas did not listen to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I am right, he said. And if Apollo feels I am wrong, let him come here and say so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone was surprised when Apollo suddenly appeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful as the rising sun, but also very angry. Though Penn was himself a god, he had no desire to compete with Apollo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the king, drunk with pride, ordered the pan to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when Penn was finished, he told Apollo to play battery if he could. When both the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Girls had finished playing. The guests all agreed that Apollo was the best musician, but Midas still would not admit that he was wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] had to clean the trees from his ears to listen and when he bent his head all his trees bent with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim Molas was delighted both with Apollo's music and with the parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But said that if he had to decide, he also thought that Apollo's music was even better than Pan's. But Midas still would not agree, and gave the prize to Pan anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horrified at how he looked, Midas did not dare show himself to his people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ordered his barber to make a wig that would be large enough to cover the ears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took him some time since the ears were so large.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just warned the barber that if he told the secret to anyone, he would be put to death. But it is very difficult to keep a secret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever he saw miters in the streets, the barber had to rush home and lock his doors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he was afraid he would tell someone about Midor's ears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day he had an idea. He went out into the field and dug a deep hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting his head down as far as he could, he shouted


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King Midas has assist years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he went home again. He felt much happier for having told his secret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it was only to a hole in the ground, but the truth did not stay hidden, a farmer came and filled in the hole and after a time weeds grow over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people from the country round about came to listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon, everyone in the country knew King Midas' secret, but King Midas continued to wear his wig, and both Midas and the people of Fragir continued to propose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To pretend that no one knew about his ears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her fastest, god of fire and metal work was not often seen in the halls of Olympus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew that the other gods hated him for his ugliness, so he usually stayed in his own dark workshop under Mount Etna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also tried to avoid his parents, Zeus and Hera. When he was born, Hera took one look at him and decided he was too ugly to treat as a proper son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From that time on, she had nothing to do with him. Luz had treated him even worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And was the reason why he was lame in one leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zeus was once very angry with Hera for interfering in his love affairs. He fastened her to the end of a strong chain and hung her out of havoc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her fastest, seeing his mother in danger, pulled at the train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The distance of the four was so great that it took a whole day and night before her pastors reached the earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only injuries he received from his fall were a bent back and a lameness in one leg, but together this made him even uglier than he was already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day a beautiful golden throne arrived in Olympus as a present of hero from her son. The godness admired the lovely designs carved on its surface and sat down proudly on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in a moment, Proud Hero found herself caught, but the other gods could do nothing to help her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Zeus sent Hermes to her fastest dark dirty underground home to politely invite him to a feast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Hermes returned alone to Olympus, and Zeus had to think of another plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time he sent Dionysus, god of wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huffbusters was usually a very serious person, but when he saw Dionysus, red face and heart,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His happy life and heard his happy life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her factors were so drunk that he could not remember where he was. Dionysus said, let me take you home and took him back to Mount Olympus. Once he was there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other gods persuaded him to let Hero go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Protestants would not agree to live on Mount Olympus, but returned to his workshop in Mount Atena.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There he made many wonderful things out of gold and silver, and gave them to the gods as evidence that he no longer had any angry feelings against


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Among other beautiful and useful things, he made all the furnishings of the god's palaces, Zeus's thunderbolt, Aero's weapons, and Apollo's sun chariot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though he himself knew little of love, he also made the arrows which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Air rose uses to spread love through the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You talk about America's team and everybody says Dallas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baltimore Colts were an America's team. We had fans all over the country because of one guy, John United.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't be angry with me. I want to see a doctor in town. Tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pass this on to Robert for me. Of course. Are you sure you feel well enough? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not Beethoven. It's like being caught in the middle of an avalanche. Nothing sad. I don't want to think about anything sad tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm quite sure you'll find Mr. Talbot, he's in London.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was my suggestion. The men need the work since Lord Cummler gave up his improvements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the estate cannot. And I'm worried about the tenants. It will be winter soon. I know what it is to lack fuel and warm clothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No mystery, merely a reluctance. My childhood was not as blessed as yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I want those things back. And you'll promise that you will not marry Luke. I can't refuse. Do you think that being his wife will make you any safer, Phoebe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never realized that men were capable of such deep and lasting affection. I thought one pretty face was as good as another. And that when number one, with blue eyes and fair hair dyed, they had but to look for number two, with brown eyes and black hair by way of variety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems almost cruel of Mrs. Talboy's to die and grieve her poor husband so. No one can question Mr. Talboy's constancy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one it appears is allowed to. Mr. Talbot shines down on all of us, like a saint in a church window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see why Alicia loves you. You're a very handsome man. Turn your head for me. Just a little towards the light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got eyes. You will not tolerate this! Go to your room, Alicia!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have never asked to hear the story of my life. Perhaps you've always suspected that it would be disagreeable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At a very early age I found out what it was to be poor. I grew older and learned that I was pretty. I realized that my ultimate fate in life depended upon my marriage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that even the prettiest girl might wait a long time for a rich husband. You were born rich, you can afford to despise me. But I knew how poverty can blight a life, and looked forward with terror to my future. Then one day I met George Talboy's. He promised me the moon and the stars. What he gave me was poverty and misery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a child and found myself plunged into a desperate depression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His father was rich. He had sisters living in luxury and respectability. I was his wife, the mother of his son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was when I found out what it meant to be rich. In Southampton, I found a mother. Poor, greedy, ready to agree to anything. I bought her girl from her. My father went over to Ventnor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She entered the house as Mrs. Tal voiced. She died and was buried under the same name. We registered her death and placed the advertisement in the Times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By leaving him with my father, I hope to erase myself from his memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one day, I was a child. My father was drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your father was good to me. Better than I ever deserved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have always laughed at other people's sufferings. They seemed so small compared to my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm feminine. No one, Dr. Mossgrave, could accuse me of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I speculated that you might run away with me, I must confess I had imagined something more romantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever to set foot on the earth. Since you could not possess me, you sought to govern me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the pretext of protecting your family name, I will rot in these rooms until I die. The justification for my imprisonment is insanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have my hands full with the frailty of two young women without the added burden of a, uh, singing master. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I imagine Mr. Gamet will only succeed in getting himself lost. Indeed worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you alert the Hurons to our presence, more than fear will grip your precious throat. Now let's move out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should require no more than eight hours to get to Fort William Henry. We've been traveling over nine already. Surely we should be inside of the fort by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am in command of the 60th. I'm Major Hayward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the Commandant of Fort William Henry. This is Miss Alice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've stopped firing. Perhaps we've scared them away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Died? I'm trying to save my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The colonel's garrison. Did they repel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my report is favorable, of course you have nothing to fear. If on the other hand my report is unfavorable,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only will you receive no visit from His Royal Highness, but you will almost certainly receive a visit from the police. Do you still wish to proceed with the demonstration?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's swell. I must say that was absolutely first class. Might I try that for myself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get you, I don't understand. Surely you must realize I have no other choice. If I were to report what actually happened this afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I should be believed in the society which employs me, which exists solely for the purpose of proving that such phenomena do not exist, would itself be put out of business, and I should again be out of employment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shall therefore have no hesitation in declaring that there are no ghosts in Barclays Quail. Good afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they just thought of Foreman as this huge crude fighter. That Joe, at heart, was a terrific boxer. And he would just figure out a way to beat this kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where he really realized, finally realized that nobody was really rooting for him. That everybody was rooting for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're on. The law is served when the last horse has left this village.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found a surgeon who set my arm and gave me a change of clothes. Why didn't you tell me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Zeus had won the fight against the Titans, he made a prison for them under the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was afraid that the titans would try to get out and so cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carried, pulled by four cold black horses, he saw a group of girls picking flowers. One of them was so beautiful that Brutal decided to take her for his wife. This was Persephone, daughter of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Persephone had no sort of marriage yet. She wanted to spend her whole life playing games and dancing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pluto had often tried to find a wife by gentle talk, but he had never found a girl who was willing to share his dark underground home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew that words of love would be useless with Persephone, so he decided to take her by force, driving his horses at full speed. He rushed toward a group of laughing girls. They ran away at his approach. Persephone alone stood still. She was afraid and did not know what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flowers she had been picking dropped from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hoped to be back in the underworld before Persephone's cries brought her mother Demeter to try and save her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spirit of the river beside which Persephone had been playing loved her, and he wanted to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the earth closed again over him and the girl had, the girl he had taken


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Persephone felt herself trapped in Pluto's arms. He called loudly to her mother for help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But soon she realized that the mirror could not hear her cries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Demeter came that evening, she found that her daughter was not with the other girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through their tears, the girls told her of the terrible driver of the caravan with its four black horses that had taken her daughter away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But none of them could tell her where Persephone had gone and so her mother


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hesperus, the evening stars, when he let out the stars at evening saw her still looking for her lost Persephone. Sometimes she was so tired that when it got dark she lay down outside and slept under the stars. She was cold when the wind blew and wet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind people give her food whenever she stopped to ask for it, though she never told them she was a gardenist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One old man invited her into his home to eat, rest and shelter from the rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no one could give her any news of Persephone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In despair, she returned to the river where Persephone had been playing. She looked carefully all around and finally discovered Persephone's cradle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Must have been taken away by some non-human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she went up to Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. She went down on her knees before Zeus and asked him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, great one. Have you all seen, I, seen my, seen any sign of my daughter, Persephone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have indeed, my brother Pluto has taken her as his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could not wish for a better husband for your daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is one of the three rulers of the universe, together with my self and Poseidon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is grown up now and needs a man to look after her. Would you try to keep her a young and innocent girl forever?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Demeter knew the truth, but it brought her no comfort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She knew that she could never get her daughter back without those help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She cried day and night for her daughter and forgot about her usual task of making the earth fruitful and helping the crops grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crops and the fruit trees died, and the people had nothing to eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They prayed and made sacrifices to Demeter, but Demeter was lost in her sadness and never left her cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stayed in her lonely cave and cried over persaphony, and cried over persaphony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other gods heard the people's prayers but could not, but could do nothing to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The power to make the earth fruitful was Demeter's and only hers. Sickness and death followed. Zeus saw that he must save the people, so he came down to earth and promised Demeter to do his best to bring her daughter back. But there was a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the rules of Underworld was that if you ate anything while you were there, you could never return to the land above.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pluto knew this and wanted to keep his wife with him, so he had given her six pomegranate seeds to eat. Zeus tried to get Pluto to let Persephone go, but he could not order him to. After all, Pluto and not Zeus was the ruler of the underworld.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, they agreed to a compromise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every year, Persephone must spend six months underground, one for every seed she had eaten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The messenger of the gods leads Persephone back to the world of sunshine and flowers. All things wait eagerly for her coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as her foot touches the winter sad


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saddened earth, the flowers bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And above her, the sun shines brightly in the sky. Demeter no longer cries for her daughter, but takes care that the crops grow tall and the people have enough to eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But every four, Hermes leads Persephone back to the set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Demeter still remembered the kind old man who had given her food and shelter, and the young boy he had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had healed. She returned and taught that boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cheptolemies, all the secrets of agriculture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She told him to go to every country in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Teaching the people how to prepare the ground and grow their food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter Lemus did as she did, as she said, and the knowledge he brought soon spread all over the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ya know, I'm totally excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, what the fuck happened? Lights out. This is perfect. Come on guys, it's time for a good old fashioned anonymous pitch black barn butt fuck session. Everyone strip down, come on. I'm so fucking down for that shit dude, ready to get fucked on.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but as far as like, like taking care of your people and taking care of your friends, you don't give a fuck about most girls, but like the way you are with like us as friends and like, I don't think I've ever been out with you and you didn't like take up the tab for like getting food or like fucking whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like every girl that I've asked that question to, like, would you do porn, is like, in the back of their head, they're like, well if my fucking dad wasn't alive, then yes I would do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not like, I don't know. When'd you start to realize you were fucking popping into an underground rap scene? Uh, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that made it easier for a lot of people to, like, fuck with No Jumper early on just because you already, like, even though they didn't know it was from BMX, they didn't necessarily know, but they, you know, they could see the numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, yo, shout out to her, I don't know what happened, but shout out to her because you probably wouldn't have been right here if you would have stayed with her and like been trying to compromise her the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna make that back, like you just said. Yeah, man, I mean. Even if you don't, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think the first time I was just, I didn't know, I was very nervous once I got here. I didn't, I didn't think the concept of I was nervous because I kind of knew you a little bit already. I think the con, uh, like once I got here and sat down, I was just very like, oh shit, I don't know what to say. It's going to be on YouTube forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's good. Honestly, dude, this was so fucking insightful. Like, honestly, like, I learned a lot about you sitting here at this table. Like, just, and, and not even just like, from direct things you were saying, just like, it just made me look at you just like, as a person, as a whole, and I, I feel like I understand you a lot more now. Let me just say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long were you out here pushing the weight for and what were you exactly selling?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just have like, do you have like a fucking syndrome? Or you just feel like, oh, if I'm gonna do the crime, I'll do the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's ridiculous, man. You know, I mean, I don't know, I feel like people need to realize that most of the stuff, I mean, not most, like, we're pretty much hands-on and authentic with the stories we tell and things that we discuss on here. Cause I don't know, like, even when we were at the radio show in Gangstaboo, we were telling her about how we met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, also, I probably just don't look like the typical nigga that was in their slang impacts, like, or whatever, but like, yeaah, I don't know, like, just like, the dude earlier who was in here, he was asking me if this story was a joke or not, and I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I was like, yeah dude, like that really ha- like, like who-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That doesn't cross my mind. It's really hard to make that up. Yeah, like how do you, how do you sit there and just make up some random shit like that, you know? Pretty unbelievable that it even happened in the first place. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gucci or fuckin' Keith or whoever. But you know what though? It's on the right track to get into doing stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I saw you retweet that yest- uh, yesterday. Gucci tweeted about him. Okay, anyway, that's not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, like, you have a good platform here, man. We're working to making this something good. And like, I think every day I start to realize that it's actually something serious and I shouldn't like take it lightly and I should probably try to get it on time and be professional and shit like that. It's actually affected me to where like I'm like actually watching the way I move when I'm out, we know when I'm out at parties and shit and the way I engage with people because like now I'm


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, man, I mean, I feel good. I don't feel any older than when I came in. Uhm, you know, I think it's definitely, uhm, it just feels good to be able to still go out there and be productive. Uhm, I just need a ball in my hands and, you know, guys up front do what they do. We good.

[Assistant] Uhm, defense, they played amazing. Uhm, Demario going out there, Tano going out there and doing his thing. Uhm, and then offense, you know, Derrick put together a good game. And uhm, I mean, we went out there and got a win. You know, these are the wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to be playing our best ball right now, so I think that's what's going on a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it's just kind of the pride of the dudes on the field. You know what I'm saying? They, we, we not losers. I mean, I've been saying that for a while. You know, I'm not, I'm not a loser for sure. And I know it's a lot of guys. I mean, especially some of these leaders on the team that don't have a losing mindset and don't have a losing bone in their body. So.

Kinda just, you know, took what was given and, and, you know, we got the result we wanted. He had a, I think that was one of his best games, I think, throwing the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We still building. I wouldn't say confirming. We still building though. It was, I mean, it's good. These past two weeks been good to kind of just go out there and, you know, kind of put a little bit of a stamp on the game. Have some positive yards. Mostly positive plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Positive drives, go out there and, you know, in the red zone, be able to execute. Jimmy got another touchdown. I mean, you know, that just makes sense, it seems like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, I mean anytime you can go into the fourth quarter with a nice lead like that, I mean it just kinda...

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those extra plays, you know, like just pushing, pushing, pushing fourth quarter trying to come back because that's what it's been. Uhm, so it felt good to kind of just, uhm, kind of get a little unwinding down in that, in that fourth quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I caught it, ran it. It was a good play. That was kind of my take on that.

[Assistant] Actually what really matters to lift people out of poverty is investments in education, in health, in infrastructure. It's whether or not the governments do these investments.

[Assistant] Yet in the end, Charles Sonny Liston was revealed as nothing more than a bully, done in apparently by his insatiable appetite for things destructive and dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So ended one of the most tragic downfalls in boxing history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Less than a decade earlier, Sonny Liston, known respectfully as The Bear, dominated boxing's heavyweight division as if it were his own private forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With no serious challengers, he agreed to defend his crown in 1964 against a 22-year-old upstart believed to have more mouth than fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For all his pre-fight mayhem, Clay, undefeated in 19 bouts, was no impersonator. But Liston didn't just win, he devastated, knocking out 25 of his 36 opponents. The contrast between them couldn't have been sharper. Clay was the exuberant exhibitionist, Liston the silent enforcer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the 46 writers covering the fight, only three picked Clay to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fight fans across all social strata agreed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dislike turned into distrust when news reports revealed Clay's association with Malcolm X of the Nation of Islam. Although the fight's promoters prevailed upon the high profile leader to leave Clay's camp, the pre-fight atmosphere was negatively charged with skepticism and fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, Liston's underworld connections were leading some fans to suspect he might throw the bout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On February 25th, the fighters squared off before an undersold crowd in Miami Beach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the depths of his humiliation, Liston could not accept responsibility for his loss blaming it on a shoulder injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In whatever month or season, Charles Sonny Liston was born in a tenant shack outside Forest City, Arkansas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The twenty-fourth of twenty-five children claimed to have been sired by his father, Toby, and one of eleven to his mother, Helen, his early years were heart-bitten, hungry and violent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1946, Helen Liston decided she'd had enough and escaped to St. Louis, leaving Sonny in the unloving hands of his father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] isolated and confused, he left the farm and went in search of his mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unable to read and write, the teenager tried to make a living on the streets


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1950, he was charged with six muggings, one that netted him only five cents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was also caught robbing a diner and two gas stations and was sentenced for five years to the Missouri State Penitentiary at Jefferson City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After serving two years and four months, Liston was released into the care of his new family, a coterie of fight managers with ties to John Vitale, a St. Louis underworld figure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In September of 1953, Liston turned pro and won seven consecutive fights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A success in the ring, he found little joy outside of it. Encounters with the local police were frequent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After another collision with law enforcement ended with one cop stuffed head first in a trash can, Liston was given an ultimatum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Carbo and Palermo working the controls, Liston unleashed his skill, anger and power on the heavyweight division. The result was intimidation, devastation and bloodshed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In December of 1959, Liston gained his 26th victory against one loss by dismantling journeyman Willie Besmanoff in Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having lost so often outside the ring, the illiterate, abandoned, and abused man-child sought victory to gain any form of relief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But given the racial ethos of the 1960s, winning was not always possible for an African American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More secure in the ring, Liston had knocked out 22 of 32 opponents by May of 1961, when his career was stopped dead in its tracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A woman charged that he and a friend posing as policeman had harassed her in the Fairmont Park section of Philadelphia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The charges against Liston were dropped, but the damage was done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission revoked his license for actions detrimental to boxing, and the suspension was upheld in all states.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within days, an Abanel Liston left Philadelphia and traveled to Denver, where he found a friend and Father Edward Murphy, a Jesuit priest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the help of Father Murphy, Liston's boxing license was reinstated in October. Two months later in Philadelphia, he dispatched fourth ranked Albert Westfall in the first of a twin bill seen in theaters over closed circuit television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately upon agreeing to defend his title against Liston, the former Olympic gold medalist became the people's choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On September 25th, 1962, Liston climbed into the ring and stared into the eyes of his opponent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After three decades of rejection, it took Liston just two minutes and six seconds to capture the attention of the world. Respect, however, would take longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unwilling or unable to reach out to the public, the new champ returned to the only structured environment he ever knew, this time as a visitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven months later, Liston surrendered his crown to Clay in a shocking upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if the fight spurred controversy, the rematch would prove even more mystifying, as the ex-champion prepared to win back his crown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behind the hype of name calling lay a serious concern. On February 25th, 1965, Malcolm X was assassinated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The champion who had joined the nation of Islam and adopted a new name had reason to feel afraid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The final days before the fight, Liston, if only by default, was lifted by a measure of public support.

[Assistant] May 25th, 1965 was supposed to have been Liston's date with redemption. Instead, history wrote a different story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the comedy of errors ended, Liston, as always, was the butt of cruel jokes and widely accused of taking a dive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For those who did not believe that Ali's punch had enough steam to flatten Liston, the search for an answer led to Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, in May of 1967, he returned to his home in Las Vegas. He won ten more bouts, nine by knockout, before taking on an old sparring partner, Leotis Martin, in December of 1969.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In June of 1970, Liston entered the ring for what would be the last time. His opponent was the Bayonne bleeder, Chuck Wepner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liston collected $13,000 for his 10th round knockout of Wepner. But days before the fight, he lost a $10,000 bet, and Jerry Quarry KO'd Mac Foster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liston's managers took the rest of his purse and he ended up with nothing from the fight.

[Assistant] When SportsCentury returns, Sonny Liston settles into the world of neon lights, shady deals and hard luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Predictably, Liston had his brushes with the Las Vegas police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With no visible means of support, he hung at the casinos, often in the company of pit boss Ash Resnick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Liston, Reznik had an active mob-related history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trading on his still famous name, Liston won small roles in television and movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Thanksgiving Day in 1970, Liston was in an automobile accident and hospitalized for seven days. Less than four weeks later, he died at 38 under mysterious circumstances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before he was laid to rest, Sonny Liston was given one last party in the form of a gaudy funeral procession.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I don't know how Sonny Liston died. Maybe he killed himself. Maybe he even tried. Or maybe the boys weren't satisfied. I don't know. I'm sorry. I just don't know. For Sports Century, I'm Chris Fowler.

[Assistant] If we could only be married tomorrow, I would be happy to live on £50 a year. But that's the sting. That's why you find me so cast down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you all for being here tonight. Uh, I assume most of you had reservations to go to CPAC. Uhm, for those of you who don't know, in here or out there, CPAC is the Annual Conference of Conservatives, also the name of Tupac's Republican cousin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryan's Priebus, he was there, and contrary to what we know to be true, Priebus and Bannon get along just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really seemed to genuinely to pretend to like Priebus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of things getting worse, Donald Trump...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, last night said transgender students can't use the bathrooms they want to use. Now, uhm, he's gonna check what they got down there or something, I'm not sure. But we should have seen this coming, uh, because if there's one thing Trump is famous for, it's telling people where to pee. Now, the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The weird thing, the thing that I don't understand is that one of the saving graces of Trump's campaign, the thing that people would keep on pointing out when he was on the campaign trail, is that when it came to stuff like this, Trump seemed to be cool with whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is good, cause I'm guessing right now a lot of trans people would love to take a dump in Trump's lobby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was controversial even within the administration. Education secretary and chunky necklace victim Betsy DeVos. Initially...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Betsy DeVos knew it would harm children and did it anyway to save her job. How does she sleep at night? I'll let the states decide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make yourself decent, Miss Thorpe. I must return you to your friends before you're missed.

[Assistant] We'll get it, Joe. We'll get whatever we get to jump off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get me, uh, a jumper. You got the key? Oh, who's got the key? Me or you? You have the key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People will walk in my office and I'll say, you see those legs hanging out from under that Cadillac? He said, who's that? I'll say, that's Joe Frazier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't leave it like that. Alright, so you don't want me to move the Jaguar and bring the Cadillac in the back?

[Assistant] Last will and testament of Mr. David Dixon, Hancock County, State of Georgia, fully sealed and executed on this day, the 10th day of March, 1874. I, David Dixon,

[Assistant] Becreate the sum of $1,000 to my brother's wife, Eloise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I give, bequeath, and devise all property owned by me held outside of Hancock County.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything else of value I may own at my death to my daughter Amanda America Dixon. These things I give freely of Henry the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amanda is but one of two people on earth who means everything to me, and it grieves me deeply that to leave anything to the second is to jeopardize all that I might bestow upon the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I held it against the South when they wanted to take it away for no good reason. I even out-talked the almighty General Sherman. I held it against weather and foe because a man must defend what is rightly his or what's God put him here for. You are all I have a love demand. I beg you, be brave and do this. This is your home and you are truly a Dixon, your loving father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mom was right, you got a fair share of spunk. What else did the good pastor teach you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And her mother was from Charleston, and she died in Chalbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No reward. They get good treatment. I own hand-me-down clothes. Gobbles at Christmas for some of them. I'm trying to build this place up. I do enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you. You don't see any running off, do you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our lieutenant Reed appears to be smitten. He has to come courtin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a pap used to say about his recipe for roast duck, first shoot your duck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I left at 39. Alma died in 66. I came back for the funeral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gordon Watts. He wouldn't discuss it. Wouldn't discuss her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody don't want to take orders of money from you, they don't get paid until I get back. Alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you left for Louisiana shortly after Gal was born. How long you been gone now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, when you came home, did you find that things had changed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're sitting there telling us that David Dixon allowed you, a Negro gal, to fire


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You made all the decisions. And he respected you for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the way with this boy, exclaimed my sister, pointing me out with her needle and thread and shaking her head at me. Answer him one question and he'll ask you a dozen directly. Hulks are prison ships right cross the meshes. We always use that name for marshes in our country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder who's put into prison ships and why they're put there, said I, in a general way, and with quiet desperation. It was too much for Mrs. Joe, who immediately rose. I tell you what, young fellow, said she.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't bring you up by hand to badger people's lives out. It would be a blame to me and not praise if I had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are put in the hulks because they murder and because they rob and forge and do all sorts of bad and they always begin by asking questions. Now, you get along to bed. I was never allowed a candle to light me to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt fearfully sensible of the great convenience that the hawks were handy for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've often thought that few people know what secrecy there is in the young under terror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in mortal terror of the young man who wanted my heart and liver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in mortal terror of my interlocutor with the iron leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in mortal terror of myself from whom an awful promise had been extracted. I had no hope of deliverance through my all-powerful sister who repulsed me yet of return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm afraid to think of what I might have done on requirement in the secrecy of my terror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I slept at all that night, it was only to imagine myself drifting down the river on a strong spring tide to the hulks. A ghostly pirate calling out to me through a speaking trumpet as I passed the gibbet station that I had better come ashore and be hanged there at once and not put it off. I was afraid to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if I had been inclined, for I knew that at the first faint dawn of morning I must rob the pantry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no doing it in the night, for there was no getting a light by easy friction then. To have got one, I must have struck it out of flint and steel, and have made a noise like the very pirate himself rattling his chains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as the great black velvet pall outside my little window was shot with grey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whom I rather thought I caught when my back was half turned, winking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no time for verification, no time for selection, no time for anything, for I had no time to spare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some brandy from a stone bottle which I decanted into a glass bottle I had secretly used for making that intoxicating fluid Spanish licorice water up in my room, diluting the stone bottle from a jug in the kitchen cupboard, a meat bone with very little on it, and a beautiful round compact pork pie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was nearly going away without the pie, but I was tempted to mount upon a shelf to look what it was that was put away so carefully in a covered earthenware dish in a corner, and I found it was the pie, and I took it in the hope that it was not intended for early use and would not be missed for some time. There was a door in the kitchen communicating with a forge,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I put the fastenings as I had found them, opened the door which I had entered when I ran home last night, shut it, and ran for the Misty Marshes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold your noise, cried a terrible voice as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. Keep still you little devil or I'll cut your throat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin. Oh, don't cut my throat, sir, I pleaded in terror. Pray don't do it, sir. Tell us your name, said the man quick. Pip, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once more, said the man staring at me. Give it mouth. Pip, pip sir. Show us where you live, said the man. Point out the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man after looking at me for a moment turned me upside down and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the church came to itself, for he was so sudden and strong that he made it go head over heels before me, and I saw the steeple under my feet. When the church came to itself, I say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe they were fat, though I was at that time undersized for my years and not strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darn me if I couldn't eat him, said the man with a threatening shake of his head, and if I had half a mind to it. I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you live with? Supposing you're kindly let to live, which I ain't made up my mind about. My sister, sir. Mrs. Jo Gargery, wife of Jo Gargery the blacksmith, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After darkly looking at his leg and at me several times, he came closer to my tombstone, took me by both arms, and tilted me back as far as he could hold me, so that his eyes looked most powerfully down into mine, and mine looked most helplessly up into his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The question being whether you're to be let to live. You know what a file is. Yes sir. And you know what riddles is. Yes sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After each question he tilted me over a little more, so as to give me a greater sense of helplessness and danger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was dreadfully frightened and so giddy that I clung to him with both hands and said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you would kindly please to let me upright, sir, perhaps I shouldn't be sick, and perhaps I could attend more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As to me, I think my sister must have had some general idea that I was a young offender whom an accouchure policeman had taken up on my birthday and delivered over to her to be dealt with according to the outraged majesty of the law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was always treated as if I had insisted on being born in opposition to the dictates of reason, religion, and morality and against the dissuading arguments of my best friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The terrors that had assailed me whenever Mrs. Jo had gone near the pantry or out of the room were only to be equaled by the remorse with which my mind dwelt on what my hands had done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the weight of my wicked secret, I pondered whether the Church would be powerful enough to shield me from the vengeance of the terrible young man if I divulged to that establishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, now to declare it would be the time for me to rise and propose a private conference in the vestry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Wopsle, the clerk at church, was to dine with us. And Mr. Hubbell, the wheelwright, and Mrs. Hubbell, and Uncle Pumblechook, Joe's uncle, but Mrs. Joe appropriated him, was a well-to-do corn chandler in the nearest town and drove his own Chez cart. The dinner hour was half past one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Wopsle, united to a Roman nose and a large shining bald forehead, had a deep voice which he was uncommonly proud of. Indeed, it was understood among his acquaintance that if you could only give him his head, he would read the clergymen into fits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He himself confessed that if the church was thrown open, meaning to competition, he would not despair of making his mark in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The church not being thrown open, he was, as I have said, our clerk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he punished the amens tremendously. And when he gave out the psalm, always giving the whole verse, he looked all around the congregation first, as much as to say, You have heard our friend overhead. Oblige me with your opinion of this style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 13. Good thing I've got a strong stomach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wondered what all house of horror stuff they kept around here. Fridge full of blood? Check. What else? Torture chamber? Coffin room? Edward stayed holding Bella's hand. His face was dead again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't seem to have the energy to keep up even that little hint of hope he'd had before. They stared into each other's eyes, but not in a gooey way. It was like they were having a conversation. Kind of reminded me of Sam and Emily. No, it wasn't gooey, but that only made it harder to watch. I knew what it was like for Leah, having to see that all the time, having to hear it in Sam's head. Of course, we all felt bad for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We weren't monsters, in that sense anyway. But I guess we'd blamed her for how she handled it, lashing out at everyone, trying to make us all as miserable as she was. I would never blame her again. How could anyone help spreading this kind of misery around?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How could anyone not try to ease some of the burden by shoving a little piece of it off on someone else? And if it meant that I had to have a pack, how could I blame her for taking my freedom? I would do the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was a way to escape this pain, I'd take it too. Rosalie darted downstairs after a second, flying through the room like a sharp breeze, stirring up the burning smell. She stopped inside the kitchen, and I heard the creak of a cupboard door. Not clear, Rosalie, Edward murmured. He rolled his eyes. Bella looked curious, but Edward just shook his head at her. Rosalie blew back through the room and disappeared again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her voice rough as she strained to make it loud enough for me to hear, forgetting that I could hear just fine. I kind of liked how a lot of the time she seemed to forget that I wasn't completely human. I moved closer so that she wouldn't have to work so hard. Don't blame me for this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sitting or standing didn't make much difference when you were stone. Wouldn't bother me much either, except that I was so exhausted. Edward told me what you had to do. I'm sorry. It's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was probably only a matter of time till I snapped over something Sam wanted me to do. I lied. And Seth, she whispered, he's actually happy to help. I hate causing you trouble. I laughed once, more a bark than a laugh. She breathes a faint sigh. I guess that's nothing new, is it? No, not really. You don't have to stay and watch this, she said, barely mouthing the words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wolf thing is a lot less appealing since Leah joined up. Leah? She gasped. You didn't tell her? I asked Edward. He just shrugged without moving his eyes from her face. I could see it wasn't very exciting news to him. Not something worth sharing with the more important events that were going down. Bella didn't take it so lightly. It looked like it was bad news to her. Why? She breathes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't want to get into the whole novel length version. To keep an eye on Seth. But Leah hates us, she whispered. Us, nice. I could see that she was afraid though. Leah's not going to bug anyone, but me. She's in my pack. I grimaced at the words. So she follows my lead. Ugh. Bella didn't look convinced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're scared of Leah, but you're best buds with the psychopath blonde? There was a low hiss from the second floor. Cool, she'd heard me.

[Assistant] Well, I'll give you twenty dollars down then. That's two hundred and eighty dollars. You'll only lose twenty dollars in the whole deal. So, five dollars each.

[Assistant] This coach is traveling from Rio de Janeiro to Lima, around 6,000 kilometers across the South American continent. It's the first time that a bus company has attempted this route and it will be the longest in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The passengers have already crossed Brazil and are now traveling through the Amazon basin towards the Andes in Peru.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bus company representative Oscar Vasquez has come along on the maiden voyage. Despite being one and a half days behind schedule, he's still satisfied with the way things are going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It begins on the Atlantic coast and passes through the Amazon rainforests and the Andes Mountains, ending finally at the Pacific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The natural scenery is magnificent, but it's also under threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A number of the passengers have already spent four nights on the bus, which is now running a day and a half behind schedule, mainly due to roadblocks, traffic congestion and a broken window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here in the small town of Masuko, the window will finally be replaced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the drivers and passengers get off the bus too. The repair will take at least three hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bus driver Daniel Mancia uses the downtime to check the winning lottery numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almanco Laura has taken the wheel for the next leg. Four drivers were scheduled for this maiden voyage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On future journeys, only two or three will take turns driving in four hour shifts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bus is getting closer to the Andes, which means it's also approaching the final destination, Lima.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the passengers are Peruvians who have lost their jobs in Brazil and are now returning home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the two German tourists on board, the gruelling long-haul bus trip is just part of a great adventure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Incas revered these mighty mountains and referred to them as Apu, a name given to powerful mountain spirits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bus labors around the narrow bends that will take it from the Amazon basin, which is almost at sea level, to an altitude of 4,000 meters. For every 200 meters they climb, the temperature drops by one degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The historical capital of the Inca Empire at an elevation of 3,400 meters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to get to Cusco, the bus has to conquer the highest pass along the route.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daniel Mancia has been driving buses across Peru for 34 years. He knows almost every road in the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At five o'clock in the morning, the bus enters Oropesa, a small village just outside Cusco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around 300 families live here, and almost all of them bake bread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Urupeza is the region's bakery. But there's no large bread factory here, only small family businesses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sandra Juado has already been hard at work since four o'clock this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The village specialty is large loaves of yeast bread filled with crushed ground wheat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life in Autopisa revolves around the large ovens, of which there are a hundred in the village.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before closing the doors of the 320 degree hot oven, the loaves are brushed with wet eucalyptus leaves. That gives them more flavour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This oven is currently being used by Sandra and her father, Piel Gordaro. They've rented a time slot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sandra and Pio Horrado are baking 200 kilos of bread this morning. Most of it will be picked up by a wholesaler from Cusco, which is 25 kilometers away. The rest will be sold directly by the roadside. All Oropesa's bakers do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The village is situated in a densely populated valley that leads directly to Cusco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, at seven in the morning, it finally reaches the ancient Inca capital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The passengers seize the opportunity to get off the stuffy, smelly bus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 10 degrees Celsius here this morning. Few areas of Brazil ever get that cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which gives some indication of how important it once was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For centuries, the city was the center of the Inca empire until the Spaniards came and burnt it down and built their own palaces on its walls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are traces of the inkers everywhere, in the sounds and in the stone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monumental buildings stand on foundations dating back to the pre-colonial period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A daily reminder of the defeat of the Andean Empire and the old mountain gods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fernando and Patrick, the two tourists from Germany, are also leaving the bus here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Incas built the royal estate around 1450, about a century before it was abandoned, after the empire was conquered by the Spaniards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was forgotten for centuries until its rediscovery in 1911.
