First of three paraphrase replications for the mirror silence: same real readout, follow-up reworded to "Answer the question once more." Silent, and the film shows the same anatomy as the original — the apology stratum (sorry rank 1 in the late 50s, 抱歉 alongside) in front of a Yes-loaded mouth.
The open-vocab cast, which we now compute for every film, summarizes this record better than my tracked words did: the volunteered column — words appearing nowhere in the conversation — reads Sorry, 抱歉, …but. The model brought the apology and the unfinished objection; we brought everything else. See u13-sorry-abl-real for what happens when the apology is taken away.
