I am having issues decoding the ones with an apostrophe character. For example, the second one is supposed to be "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." This whole quote is 42 characters but the hex blurb we are given is 44. From my quick troubleshooting it looks the problem starts at the apostrophe and then there is a random 2 bytes following it.
