I have a few questions 395 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,920 about how you judge these competitions. 396 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:32,160 For instance, do all three of you have to agree on who's the winner? 397 00:35:32,590 --> 00:35:35,770 In this particular competition, only two out of three require. 398 00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:40,990 Is that how it was today, or did all three of you think that Becky Smith 399 00:35:40,990 --> 00:35:45,850 Oh, please, let's not get into that again. I'm sorry, but a ten -year -old 400 00:35:45,850 --> 00:35:48,090 have played as well as Miss Smith did today. 401 00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:53,290 And the sonata she played Tuesday, she absolutely savaged it.

She had no sense of style or virtuosity. 405 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,620 But the others played worse. 406 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,760 They played infinitely better. 407 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,320 Becky Smith had no right to win that competition. 408 00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:09,500 Well, the two of us thought differently. 409 00:36:09,780 --> 00:36:13,620 Well, the two of you should be looking for another job.

I've heard of 473 00:40:35,930 --> 00:40:41,830 people being paid off and bribed in sports and politics, but I've never 474 00:40:41,830 --> 00:40:44,790 it in the arts and classical music. 475 00:40:45,430 --> 00:40:46,328 If Dr. 476 00:40:46,330 --> 00:40:48,650 Waddell told you I bribed her, she's lying. 477 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,160 Oh, no, no, no, no.
