"Tab sis peb tsis qhia lawv lwm txoj hauv kev, yog li lawv saib rau tib neeg zoo li kuv: 'Zoo, koj yog ib tus ntawm cov menyuam yaus hnub nyoog 60 xyoo, ib tus ntawm cov kev ywj pheej qub, tseem dai" ncig, puas yog? '"

“Kuv pom zoo!” nws luag.
Rocca nug McCarthy, "Kev kawm txog kev sib haum xeeb, puas yog qhov koj hu hauv lub neej?"
“Zoo rau kuv txoj kev hu hauv lub neej yog kom tau ib tug txiv zoo thiab ib leej txiv uas muaj kev hlub thiab ib leej txiv uas muaj kev hlub. Kuv xav tias qhov ntawv los ua ntej. ”

“Kev thaj yeeb pib hauv tsev?” nug Rocca.
“Yog lawm.”
Thaum Colman McCarthy chav kawm tsis muaj ib qho kev xeem lossis qeb kawm, nws tau xa nws cov tub ntxhais kawm mus tsev nrog ib qho haujlwm tseem ceeb: “Txhua chav kawm, Kuv hais tias, 'Cov ntawv ua tom tsev yog qhia rau ib tus neeg koj hlub lawv hnub no. Thiab yog tias koj nrhiav tsis tau ib tug neeg los qhia rau koj tias koj hlub lawv, saib nws nyuaj me ntsis. Thiab yog tias koj tseem nrhiav tsis tau 'em, hu rau kuv.
