42:30 I think one of the best, not only that, get away with it. Professor Heisenberg, why are you such a person? He had a long point. How much happier he, this is kind of a question, how much happier he would be if he were to reconcile with himself?

45:00 Yes, he can. He can. He can. He can. If only he could reconcile with himself. A member of the common European house. Good members of the common European family. Why can we not just be just like they? And then our people. Well, even if you are right. This is Heinsberg writing his memoir of the 19th century in the 19th century. If you have forgotten, you'll have forgotten always, i.e. this is Heisenberg, writing his memoirs, gratiating himself with the Americans in the 1950s, and reconstructing the conversation, the myth of reconstructing the conversation, which time he contrasted with depression, he was living a life so absolutely devoted to it. He then pretends to be speaking to the American audience, or to the American environment. I'm not making it up, of course, I'm looking through the passage, it's all legal.
