A Fistful of Dollars
Before Dirty Harry, before the Oscar wins, before he became a Hollywood institution, there was a broke TV actor who took a job in Spain for $15,000. It shouldn't have worked. Instead, it created the most famous cowboy in the world.
We travel back to 1964 and the unlikely collaboration between Clint Eastwood and 24-year-old Italian director Sergio Leone that revolutionized the Western genre. A Fistful of Dollars wasn't just a movie—it was cinema's first postmodern Western, a film that understood American mythology better than Americans did.
From the iconic poncho to Ennio Morricone's haunting score, we explore how Leone and Eastwood created the Man with No Name—a character who was both completely amoral and utterly compelling, who stripped away everything heroic about Western heroes and left only competence and survival instinct.
This is the story of how a European vision of the American West created a new kind of movie star and changed cinema forever.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.480
Calarugashark Media. Last time we talked about Dirty Harry, the
2
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.120
film that made Clint Eastwood an American icon, but that's
3
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.440
not where his story begins. The story begins in Spain,
4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.399
nineteen sixty four. A broke American television actor takes a
5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.120
job in a western nobody expects Americans to see. The
6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.359
pay is fifteen thousand dollars. The director is a twenty
7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.759
four year old Italian who's made nothing but sword and
8
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:38.159
Sandal pictures. The budget is two hundred thousand dollars, modest
9
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.200
by Hollywood standards, but enough to shoot in technicolor. None
10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.799
of it should have worked, but sometimes accidents change everything,
11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.200
and a fistful of dollars was a beautiful accident that
12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.000
created a new kind of Western, launched a career, and
13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.039
proved that the most American of film genres could be
14
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.679
reinvented by foreigners who understood it better than Americans did.
15
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:08.159
This is episode two, a fistful of Dollars. Here's what happened.
16
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.519
Clint Eastwood was thirty four years old and desperate. Rawhide,
17
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.719
the TV western that had made him moderately famous, was
18
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.959
ending its run. He'd been the co lead for six
19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.680
years playing rowdy yates a clean cut cowboy on a
20
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.799
cattle drive. It was steady work, decent money, but not
21
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:31.159
exactly starmaking material. His agent got him an offer. An
22
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.040
Italian director named Sergio Leone wanted him for a Western.
23
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.560
The shoot would be in Spain, cheaper than Hollywood. The
24
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.879
script was based on a Japanese samurai film. The whole
25
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.200
thing sounded sketchy. Most established American actors passed. Leone had
26
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.439
already been turned down by Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, and
27
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.959
James Coburn. Eastwood said yes because he needed the work,
28
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.120
and because fifteen thousand dollars was more than he'd ever
29
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.480
been paid for a single film. He had no idea
30
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.599
he was about to become the most famous cowboy in
31
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.239
the world. A Fistful of Dollars tells the story of
32
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.920
a gunfighter who rides into a town torn apart by
33
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.319
two feuding families. He plays both sides against each other,
34
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.400
making money from the conflict while gradually eliminating his enemies.
35
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.960
It's cynical, violent, and completely immoral. The hero isn't heroic.
36
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.639
He's an opportunist who survives through cunning and superior firepower.
37
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:31.039
American westerns had always been about civilization versus wilderness, good
38
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.960
versus evil, community versus individualism. Leon's Western was about something else,
39
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.319
entirely survival, nothing more, nothing less. The man with no
40
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.240
Name wasn't fighting for justice or defending the innocent. He
41
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.960
was making a living, and that changed everything. Leone had
42
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.520
grown up watching American westerns but had never been to
43
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.599
the American West. His vision was filtered through cinema, not reality.
44
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.280
He was more interested in the mythosthology than the history,
45
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.280
and that freed him to reinvent the genre completely. The
46
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.439
look of the film was revolutionary. Instead of the bright,
47
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.080
clean compositions of Hollywood westerns, Leone used extreme close ups
48
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.719
in vast wide shots. Instead of clear heroes and villains,
49
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.719
he created a world where everyone was morally compromised. Instead
50
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.879
of noble violence, he showed violence as ugly, brutal, and decisive.
51
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.000
The famous opening scene sets the tone. Three gunmen ride
52
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.599
into town and terrorize a Mexican family. The camera lingers
53
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:38.800
on faces, sweaty, cruel, amused by their own power. Then
54
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.719
Eastwood rides in. The close up on his face is
55
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.400
held for an impossibly long time. He says nothing. The
56
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.759
audience waits, the tension builds. When he finally speaks, it's
57
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.400
to order a drink. When violence finally comes, it's swift
58
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.120
and final. Three men dead, No speeches about justice, no
59
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.000
moment of moral clarity, just a professional doing his job.
60
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.080
That was Leon's genius. He understood that American westerns had
61
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.520
become too civilized, too moral, too safe. Real violence isn't noble,
62
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.439
Real survival isn't pretty. Real men in impossible situations don't
63
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.839
make speeches about doing the right thing. They do whatever works.
64
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.600
Eastwood got it immediately. He'd grown up watching Western movies
65
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.879
and television shows, but he'd never seen a character like this.
66
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.279
The man with no name wasn't Roy Rogers or John Wayne.
67
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.680
He wasn't even Gary Cooper in High Noon. He was
68
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.920
something new, a Western hero stripped of heroism, left with
69
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:45.319
only competence and survival instinct. The performance Eastwood created was
70
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.680
unlike anything he'd done on Rawhyde Gone was the earnest
71
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.959
young cowboy. In his place was a figure of barely
72
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.800
contained menace. Every gesture was economical, Every line was delivered
73
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.959
with flat certainty. He moved like a man who'd calcul
74
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.199
related every angle and was always three steps ahead of
75
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.079
everyone else. The famous poncho wasn't a costume choice. It
76
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.519
was character development. It made him look bigger, more imposing,
77
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.680
less human. The cigarillo between his teeth wasn't just a prop.
78
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.920
It was a way of making him seem perpetually amused
79
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.600
by other people's stupidity. The squint wasn't an acting choice.
80
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.160
It was the natural result of a man who trusted
81
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:30.040
nothing and no one. Most importantly, Eastwood understood that less
82
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.839
was more. In American westerns, heroes talked. They explained their motivations,
83
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.319
their moral codes, their relationships to the community. The man
84
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.360
with no name said almost nothing. He let his actions
85
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:48.120
speak for themselves. That silence was revolutionary. It turned the
86
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.040
character into a cipher that audiences could project onto. He
87
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.959
could be a hero or a villain, depending on your perspective.
88
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.360
He could be a savior or a destroyer, depending on
89
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.120
your needs. He was whatever you wanted him to be,
90
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.439
as long as you understood that he was dangerous. The
91
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.680
collaboration between Leon and Eastwood was immediate and intuitive. Leon
92
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.000
spoke little English, Eastwood spoke no Italian. But they communicated
93
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.959
through the camera, through gesture, through their shared understanding of
94
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.879
what this character needed to be. Leon pushed Eastwood to
95
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.560
be more minimal, more mysterious. Eastwood pushed Leon to be
96
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.399
more precise, more realistic. Together they created something neither could
97
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.079
have achieved alone, a Western that was both mythic and gritty,
98
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.920
both larger than life and completely believable. The music, composed
99
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.879
by Ennio Morricone, was the third crucial element. Instead of
100
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.360
the sweeping orchestral scores of Hollywood westerns, Morricone created something
101
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:54.959
entirely new, a soundscape that mixed traditional instruments with electric guitars, whistles, voices,
102
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.800
and sound effects. The main theme is haunting and driving
103
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.360
at the same time, like a funeral march for the
104
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:06.160
American West. That theme would become as famous as Eastwood himself.
105
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.360
You can't think of the character without hearing those first
106
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.959
few notes. It wasn't just movie music. It was the
107
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.720
sound of a new kind of Western, a new kind
108
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.399
of hero, a new way of thinking about America's foundational myth.
109
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.839
The film was released in Italy in nineteen sixty four
110
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.560
and became an immediate sensation. It played for months in
111
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:32.120
European theaters, making Eastwood famous across the continent before most
112
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.560
Americans had heard of him. The success led to two sequels,
113
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.920
For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad,
114
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.000
and the Ugly, completing what would become known as the
115
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:48.519
Dollar's trilogy. But American distribution was another problem. Entirely United
116
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.560
artists bought the film for American release, but had no
117
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.600
idea how to market it. It looked too European for
118
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.079
Western fans and too violent for art house audiences. They
119
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.160
sat on it for three years. When A Fistful of
120
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.000
Dollars finally opened in American theaters in nineteen sixty seven,
121
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.600
it was a revelation. Audiences had never seen anything like it.
122
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:14.160
Critics were divided. Some called it a masterpiece of visual storytelling,
123
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.279
Others dismissed it as pretentious violence, but everyone agreed that
124
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.120
Clint Eastwood had become a movie star. The success changed
125
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.240
everything for Eastwood. He went from television actor to international
126
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.680
icon almost overnight. The character of the man with No
127
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:34.440
Name became the foundation for everything that followed. Harry Callahan.
128
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.159
The protagonists of his westerns, even his later dramatic roles,
129
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.279
all carried traces of that original mysterious gunfighter. But a
130
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.440
fistful of Dollars also changed the Western genre forever. It
131
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.279
proved that the mythology could be stripped down, darkened, made
132
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:55.120
more complex without losing its essential appeal. It opened the
133
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.440
door for more realistic, more violent, more morally ambiguous westerns
134
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:04.639
Sam Peckinpause, The Wild Bunch, George Stephens, Shane. Even later
135
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.759
Eastwood westerns like The Outlaw, Josie Wales, and Unforgiven all
136
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.840
owe something to what Leon and Eastwood created in that
137
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.320
first collaboration. Let's take a break here. When we come back,
138
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.039
we'll talk about how the character evolved through the next
139
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.919
two films, what it meant for Eastwood's career, and why
140
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.639
the Man with No Name became the template for every
141
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:36.399
anti hero that followed. We're back. The success of A
142
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.919
Fistful of Dollars created an immediate problem for Leon and Eastwood.
143
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.039
How do you follow up something that successful without just
144
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.759
repeating yourself. The answer was to go bigger, stranger, and
145
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:51.639
more cinematic with each subsequent film. For a Few Dollars More,
146
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.080
released in nineteen sixty five, paired Eastwood with Lee van
147
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:59.000
Cleef and created the template for the buddy western The Good,
148
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.240
the Bad, and the Ug released in nineteen sixty six
149
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.639
was an epic meditation on violence, greed, and survival set
150
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:10.879
against the Civil War. Each film pushed further away from
151
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.759
traditional Western narratives. There were no settlers to protect, no
152
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.840
towns to clean up, no moral lessons to be learned.
153
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.759
There was only survival and the question of who was
154
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:25.440
smart enough and ruthless enough to survive longest. Eastwood's character
155
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:29.240
evolved through the trilogy, but always remain fundamentally the same.
156
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.799
A professional in a world of amateurs, a realist in
157
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.720
a world of dreamers, a survivor in a world where
158
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.200
most people were too stupid or too noble to survive.
159
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.440
What made the performance work was Eastwood's understanding that the
160
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:47.039
character's power came from restraint. In a world where everyone
161
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.240
else was emotional, he was calm in a world where
162
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.679
everyone else talked. He listened. In a world where everyone
163
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.759
else made mistakes, he was always prepared. The famous Mexican
164
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.279
standoff at the end of The Good, the Bad, and
165
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.399
the Ugly is the ultimate expression of this philosophy. Three
166
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.320
men face each other in a cemetery, each waiting for
167
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.120
the others to make the first move. The sequence goes
168
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.960
on for several minutes, building tension through pure cinema close
169
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:18.159
ups on eyes, hands, guns, sweat. When the shooting finally starts,
170
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.919
it's over and seconds. That's the Eastwood character in miniature,
171
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.600
long periods of patient waiting followed by brief moments of
172
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:31.240
decisive action. No wasted motion, no unnecessary violence, just professional
173
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.879
competence applied to the problem of staying alive. The trilogy
174
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.720
made Eastwood wealthy and famous, but it also created a trap.
175
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.639
He was now the man with no Name. Whether he
176
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.200
wanted to be or not, Every subsequent role would be
177
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.919
measured against that performance. Every character would be expected to
178
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.879
carry some trace of that mysterious gunfighter. Eastwood was smart
179
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.200
enough to see the problem. He could have spent the
180
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.559
rest of his career making spaghetti westerns, but he knew
181
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.519
that would have eventually kill his career. He needed to
182
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.799
prove he could do other things while still building on
183
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.360
what had made him famous. That's where Dirty Harry came in.
184
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.639
Harry Callahan was the man with no Name, transported to
185
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:17.919
contemporary San Francisco. Same moral ambiguity, same professional competence, same
186
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.759
willingness to use violence when necessary, but also a character
187
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.879
with a name, a job, a place in society. It
188
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.559
was a brilliant solution. Eastwood could play essentially the same
189
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:34.440
character while appearing to do something completely different. The audience
190
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.519
got what they wanted while Eastwood expanded his range. But
191
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.360
the influence of A Fistful of Dollars went far beyond
192
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.519
Eastwood's career. It changed how movies were made, how violence
193
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:49.120
was depicted, how heroes were conceived. Before Leon movie violence
194
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.159
was clean and quick. Good guys shot, bad guys, Bad
195
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:57.440
guys fell down, justice was served. Leone made violence ugly, prolonged,
196
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:02.440
and morally complicated. People didn't just die, They suffered, They bled,
197
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.559
they begged. Violence had consequences, both for the victims and
198
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.440
for those who committed it. The visual style was equally influential.
199
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.039
Leone's use of extreme close ups and wide shots became
200
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.279
standard in action filmmaking. His attention to detail the dirt underfingernails,
201
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.559
the sweat on faces, the way leather creaked and spurs
202
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:29.799
jingled became the gold standard for realistic filmmaking. Most importantly,
203
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.840
Leon proved that genre of films could be art without
204
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:37.120
losing their popular appeal. A Fistful of Dollars was simultaneously
205
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:42.240
a crowd pleasing western and a sophisticated meditation on violence, survival,
206
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:46.120
and human nature. It worked on multiple levels without apologizing
207
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.840
for any of them. That approach became central to Eastwood's
208
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:53.840
later work as a director. Films like Unforgiven, Mystic River,
209
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.360
and Million Dollar Baby all operate the same way their genre,
210
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:02.759
films that transcend their genres, popular entertainments that double as
211
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.919
serious art. The character of the Man with No Name
212
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:09.799
also became the template for virtually every anti hero that followed,
213
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.480
from Hans Solo to Travis Bickle, from John Rambo to
214
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.360
Tyler Durden. You can trace a direct line back to
215
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.279
Eastwood's performance in a Fistful of Dollars. The key elements
216
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:26.120
are always the same, moral ambiguity, professional competence, reluctant heroism,
217
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.159
and the willingness to use violence when necessary. It's a
218
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.639
character type that appeals to audiences because it combines the
219
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:38.039
satisfaction of traditional heroism with the complexity of real human behavior.
220
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:44.200
But what makes Eastwood's original performance still compelling is its restraint.
221
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.840
Later imitators often pushed the character toward either complete heroism
222
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.399
or complete villainy. Eastwood kept him balanced right on the
223
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.360
edge where he was both admirable and dangerous, both sympathetic
224
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.799
and frightening. That balance is what made the collaboration with
225
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.960
own so successful. Leon understood grand gestures in mythic storytelling,
226
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.559
Eastwood understood small details in human behavior. Together, they created
227
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.679
characters who felt both legendary and real. The influence extends
228
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:17.559
beyond cinema. The Man with No Name became a cultural archetype,
229
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:22.039
the mysterious stranger who appears when needed, solves problems through
230
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.960
superior firepower, and disappears when the job is done. It's
231
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.720
a fantasy that appeals across cultures and generations because it
232
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:38.200
addresses fundamental human anxieties about justice, protection, and survival. Politicians, soldiers,
233
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:42.399
police officers, and even business leaders have modeled themselves on
234
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:46.600
variations of the character. The idea of the competent individual
235
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.919
who cuts through bureaucracy and gets things done has become
236
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.159
central to American mythology, but the original A fistful of Dollars,
237
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.159
is more complicated than its imitators. Leon and Eastwood created
238
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.960
a character who was effective but not admirable, successful but
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.480
2
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.120
3
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.440
4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.399
5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.120
6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.359
7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.759
8
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:38.159

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.200

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.799
11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.200
12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.000
13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.039
14
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.679
