Dialogue and Timing Notes
The wording and speaker attribution follow the human-confirmed record of 6 May 2026. Dialogue timestamps are historical navigation points; they have not been recalibrated line by line for this edition. Still-image times are actual sample positions in the fixed 4K master. A single image cannot establish who is speaking or being addressed.
The final sentence and the credits do different work. This page records the sentence and its location without treating “I don’t care” as the speaker’s final position, or using a visible credit to identify the current voice.
