Slow dialog: 1:42 Explanations: 3:38 Fast dialog: 18:38 Kathy Lee: You won’t find any problems in your inspection of our factory. Rashed: I’m glad to hear that. Where do these stairs lead? Kathy Lee: It’s just a level for storage. You don’t need to see that. Rashed: I need to inspect every part of this factory. Please step aside. Kathy Lee: If you insist.
