（单词翻译）

[00:01]P：There's something about this thing I don't quite understand, Mr. Masry.
[00:05]If PG&E messed with our water, why would they bother say anything about it to us at all?
[00:11]Why not just keep quiet about it?

[00:29]And if we can ride out the year with no one suing, we'll be in the clear forever."
