19:47.160 --> 19:52.160 Well, you see, it began by me telling her about this job that I got as assistant to Mr. Garvey, the building manager. 19:52.160 --> 19:53.160 Only I don't have it yet. 19:53.160 --> 19:55.160 And then Alex, he's the starter. 19:55.160 --> 19:56.160 He tips her off. 19:56.160 --> 19:58.160 And then I'm trying to explain to her when I bring her up here. 19:58.160 --> 20:01.160 Only I don't get a chance because these two mugs get in my car with a big... 20:01.160 --> 20:02.160 What two mugs? 20:02.160 --> 20:04.160 The two that come from the penthouse here. 20:04.160 --> 20:08.160 I guess they're working for Mr. Ellinger and they got a big rolled up carpet. 20:08.160 --> 20:11.160 They want to go down to the basement and I call on the regulations, but... 20:11.160 --> 20:15.160 Gee, maybe I shouldn't be saying this after what they told me. 20:15.160 --> 20:16.160 What did they tell you?
