And sometimes, it's as little[br]as perhaps seven seconds.

0:00:56.320,0:00:57.880
It's as little as a sentence.

0:01:44.860,0:01:47.110
forgotten the sentence before.

0:01:47.110,0:01:51.060
You ask him a question and[br]he'll give you an answer,

They hadn't got an O-Level[br]last time I was conscious.

0:02:12.470,0:02:15.540

No thoughts at all.

0:02:37.674,0:02:39.340
