Grammar
If he don't...or If he doesn't...
0 Do you think this one is okay in grammar? I think the right one would be: If he 01 u 00 doesn't 02 u 00 hear from me five minutes... Thanks for your help.(There's no mistakes in this script, I have made sure that T-Bag said "don't", not "doesn't" by watching the show) 02 br

00 T-Bag: Yeah, before you do, I have an announcement to make. I've been growing leery of the way you all talk, like I'm a lesser man. So, I bought an insurance policy. I called up my guy on the outside, and I told him about our plan. And I told him, in all likelihood, I'll be seeing him next week, but... 01 font 00 if he 01 u 00 don't 02 u 00 hear from me five minutes before the escape, and 20 minutes after, 02 font 00 I told him to call up the warden, blow the whistle on the whole thing. So if you all got ideas about getting rid of me... I suggest you make other plans. 0-
