Believe the experts, listening to the dialog a few times, bit after bit, before looking at the subtitles, will help you catch the words from the conversations in the future !
( that process is the only way for your brain gradually to be able to kind of visualize what you hear ).

The Supreme Buddha was originally a prince in India named Siddhartha. From an early age, he liked to question, and often meditated about questions that others thought absurd. For example, we are all the same so why is it that we differ so much in status? He wouldn't believe that it was destiny and wanted to find a way to make everyone equal. He was married when he was nineteen, and his wife gave him a son. But by this time, pain and suffering in the world had sown a seed in his heart, which made him abandon worldly life and pleasures to be a recluse and meditate. Before he went away from home, he passed the room of his wife and saw her sleeping, holding their son. He wanted to go over and have a close look. But finally, he decided to forsake all this and set off on the path to find eternal life and happiness.
