[03:12.80]A:I don't?But why?

[03:16.96]B:I'm the one who should feel sorry in the first place.

[03:22.42]I'm sorry I didn't let you know sooner,

[03:27.46]but unfortunately the meething was cancelled at the last minute.

[04:04.16]A:But don't worry.I'll buy you another one.

[04:09.62]B:That's not the point.It wasn't mine to lend in the first place.

[04:17.06]I borrowed it from David.
