[0:02] I wondered if you got anything from Bazaar yet.
[0:05] He's on the last box right now, and he's gotten absolutely nothing.
[0:09] I'll be damned.
[0:11] He said there's just nothing there.

[0:24] And keep it intact, because you could challenge its authenticity.

[1:05] Well, it's worth it, sir.
[1:06] Sure.
[1:06] Okay.
[1:07] Good, sir.
