You are the most important part 374 00:22:01,186 --> 00:22:03,088 of all of this. 375 00:22:06,658 --> 00:22:10,262 >> Victoria: Earlier today, Nicholas asked me to consider my 376 00:22:10,328 --> 00:22:13,732 motives for pursuing Chancellor-Winters. 377 00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:17,836 >> Nate: What did you say? >> Victoria: I told him that 378 00:22:17,903 --> 00:22:23,008 I -- I didn't know.
