could have take benjamin probably would have given it to me without even asking john <{><[>to take it <[>yeah i mean why would he ask johnny to drop <{><[>it round <[>yes exactly oh no johnny would have offered yeah i <{><[>think he must have <[>laughs what does that feel like is that all right <&>17:00 yeah it comes out a <{1><[1>bit bit more flowing laughs than the good old clear eyes but um overall i think it's probably just about <{2><[2>done the trick <[1>it's not laughs <[2>it does work it's okay mm laughs it's not hurting though? no oh that's good i'll just see if it clears them up i don't want to give you the wrong stuff or anything yeah oh god i can't believe we had a smoke in johnny's car on the way BACK yeah you gave the end of it away didn't you no that was <{><[>on the way
