Thiab nws hais tias, 'Auj, Pattie koj nyuam qhuav tuaj txog thiab kuv yuav tawm mus thaij cov qauv no nyob rau pem hauv ntej ntawm nthwv dej loj rau ib phau ntawv teev npe.' Kuv hais tias, 'Koj paub dab tsi? kuv mam tuaj.' Thiab nws tus hluas nkauj tuaj nrog.

"Peb tsuas yog zaum ntawd saib lawv yees duab nthwv dej, thiab tom qab ntawd tus hluas nkauj hais rau kuv, 'Koj puas xav thaij duab rau kuv?' Kuv hais tias, 'Yog.' Yog li kuv muab zaj duab xis tso rau hauv kuv Hasselblad, thiab kuv saib thiab nws tau muab tag nrho nws cov khaub ncaws tawm. Cov neeg ntawm ntug hiav txwv tsis tuaj yeem ntseeg qhov lawv pom.
