Good evening, children. I'd like to start tonight's broadcast
with some words which, wherever you are, you might find timely. They were written a long, long time ago
by a Greek playwright named Sophocles. But I think the words prove
that things don't really change, no matter how much time passes. Here is what he wrote... "The tyrant is a child of pride who drinks from his sickening cup
of recklessness and vanity until from his high crest, he plummets headlong to the dust of hope." I know that times
are dark right now, children, but trust always that light does prevail. Speaking of light,
I'd like to talk to you about... Werner!

00:00:16.417 --> 00:00:20.334
But I think the words prove
that things don't really change,

no matter how much time passes.
