rich girl of the people,

when I was just a poor boy chubby

And I worked in a record store.

She went to the store a

day we talk about music...

...and my desires arise in that business.

She told me, 'Just do it, Eddie.

Why Lady Stubbs afraid?

If we truly afraid.

No I liked her makeup or the guys who left.

She and her friends spent all day

painting their nails.

And the music blaring.

What will we do without her?

No. Only this morning.

Do you know that lady Stubbs

Well, it was very clear on that.

Said pure childishness.

Not pay much attention to what he says

Hattie sometimes.

What exactly said,

- Si.

She said:

'He kills people.'

'He kills people'?

Do not take seriously what it says.

And no other hidden in
