If it only grabs a partial group of pages, it might make a mark on an opposite page.

You should have a TV show/documentary/TV special.

"If we blow this chance it's all over."<br />2. "One mistake and it might be fatal."<br />3. "The clock is ticking; not much time left."<br />4. "You chump, you're doing it all wrong."<br />5.
