    49:33 When he says, next time they'll bring a pack of cigarettes... ("Volgende keer saffen meepakken, eh.") This refers to: "Prior finishers of the marathon who return to run again must submit a pack of Camel cigarettes as part of the registration fee." He wants Karel not only to win, but to return again.

    It's so incredibly frustrating that people still take books out of here. They know what's going on and where they're at why would you take a book. It's so ridiculous. Good to see that it doesn't stop you from finishing
