Oh, uh, okay. Well, uh never ever stop working until that point.

SPEAKER_00 2:39

Until the wall comes.

SPEAKER_06 2:41

Until until you can see the wall, and then and then you can stop working.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 2:47

In my case, that's not good because I am working with the wall.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

Oh, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Yeah, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:03

You're stuck just before the wall and started painting.

SPEAKER_05 3:07

Um disguising the wall as something else. It is just it's something it's a tunnel now.
