What was my piece of advice?! 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.720 - And you... You should eat the first lazy slug you... 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:43.080 ...see on your way! 00:12:43.280 --> 00:12:45.560 ...That's how you'll get better! That's all. Bye! 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.400 - I don't have to look for a lazy slug anywhere, 00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:49.960 ...he came to me himself! 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.320 ...There's no one in the world lazier than this man! 00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:54.880 - Ah! 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.960 - Devil!!! Ah! 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.040 - That's it! 00:13:06.680 --> 00:13:10.760 And since then nobody ever saw Shejdulla again. 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:16.240 While there are still a lot of lazy slugs around.
