OF COMMITMENT FROM THE BEARS 

31
00:00:54.637 --> 00:00:55.538
AND THAT I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY 

32
00:00:55.538 --> 00:00:56.706
WHAT THAT MEANS BUT IT'S 

33
00:00:56.706 --> 00:00:57.507
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE 

34
00:00:57.507 --> 00:00:58.408
ENOUGH FOR THE BEARS TO SAY 

35
00:00:58.408 --> 00:01:01.144
INTERESTING YEAH

THE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION 

65
00:01:49.492 --> 00:01:51.694

97
00:02:43.880 --> 00:02:44.781
BARRIER TO THAT IT REALLY IS A 

98
00:02:44.781 --> 00:02:46.749
DIVIDING LINE SO THERE ARE 

99
00:02:46.749 --> 00:02:48.751
SOME EARLY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT 

100
00:02:48.751 --> 00:02:49.586

101
00:02:49.586 --> 00:02:50.920
