Something wrong with the clip?

Rosencrantz:
Is that southerly?
Guildenstern:
We came from roughly south.
Rosencrantz:
Which way is that?
Guildenstern:
In the morning, the sun would be easterly. I think we can assume that.
Rosencrantz:
That it's morning?
Guildenstern:
If it is, and the sun is over there for instance, that would be northerly. On the other hand, if it's not morning and the sun is over there, that would still be northerly. To put it another way, if we came from down there, and it's morning, the sun would be up there, but if it's actually over there and it's still morning, we must have come from back there, and if that's southerly, and the sun is really over there, then it's the afternoon. However, if none of these are the case...
Rosencrantz:
Why don't you go and have a look?
Guildenstern:
Pragmatism. Is that all you have to offer?
Rosencrantz:
I merely suggest that the position of the sun, if it is out, would give you a rough idea of the time. Alternatively, a clock, if it is going, would give you a rough idea of the position of the sun. I forget which you are trying to establish.
Guildenstern:
I'm trying to establish the direction of the wind.
Rosencrantz:
There isn't any wind.
[the shutters blow open and a paper windmill which Rosenkrantz is holding starts spinning]
Rosencrantz:
Draughts, yes!

I think we can assume that
00:00:03.998 --> 00:00:04.294
That it's morning
00:00:05.296 --> 00:00:07.964
If it is and the sun is over there
00:00:08.009 --> 00:00:10.842
for instance that would be northerly
00:00:12.136 --> 00:00:13.511
On the other hand if it is not morning
00:00:13.637 --> 00:00:17.181
and the sun is over there that would still be northerly
00:00:20.269 --> 00:00:21.561
To put it another way
00:00:22.938 --> 00:00:25.064
if we came from down there and it's morning
00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:26.441
the sun would be up there
00:00:27.026 --> 00:00:29.277
But if is actually over there and it's still morning
00:00:29.445 --> 00:00:31.029
we must have come from back there
00:00:31.053 --> 00:00:32.864
And if that is southerly
00:00:32.099 --> 00:00:35.241
and the sun is really over there
