Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And very often it's very difficult \Nto explain in words

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's easier to show --
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than to explain in words --

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you're by then, a good craftsman,\Nand that's very important.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have to first know your trade,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, those techniques, as I said,\Nfirst make you a craftsman,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you are a good craftsman\Nthen you can run a restaurant.
