Yeah?

Mr. Bull?

Yes, sir.

Hi, Steve.

Have you got that thing worked out?

Yes, sir.

I've asked for it, and it will probably be in five to ten minutes, and I'll bring it over and set it up.

You can set it up over here, can you?

Yes, sir.

Fine.

Well, you get it right over, because I've got to listen to a lot of crap, and I just want to get over with it as fast as I can.

Yes, sir.

And bring it the same time, Ron Ziegler's log, you know?

A blog of the days that I'm supposed to listen to, you know what I mean?

All right, sir.

28, so far so good.

Okay, thank you.
