Speaker 2: Billets come one time and they just stayed in my brother.

12
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: My brother and I shared a room, so we had

13
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,560

21
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 3: I don't know now that was an expression my brother used.

22
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: The billet just picked up the abuse my brother was hurling.

51
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,040
