[0:01] Hello?
[0:03] Yes, sir.
[0:04] You finished your deal?
[0:06] We're just finishing up, yeah.
[0:07] Oh, I'm going to head over there in a few minutes.
[0:09] Well, I just don't see that you made your check yet.
[0:12] No, I haven't.
[0:14] I'm still over at the lawyer's office.
[0:15] Fine.
[0:16] Go on over and go right on up to the...
[0:18] I understand they indicted Mitchell and Stans.
[0:22] Oh, did they?
[0:23] BESCO, BESCO.
[0:24] I'll be darned.
[0:25] The New York grand jury.
[0:26] Yeah, yeah.
[0:27] But I...
[0:28] I would assume they didn't entitle Gurlichman or anything else.
[0:34] I don't think Gurlichman was even a target on that.
[0:36] They should have invited a goddamn dean, though.
[0:37] That's a problem.
[0:40] Oh, well.
[0:42] Okay.
[0:42] How's it going with your lawyers?
[0:43] Okay.
[0:43] Fine.
[0:43] Sure.
[0:45] You got them realizing we're trying to work with them now?
[0:49] Oh, yeah.
[0:50] Well, they have a lot.
[0:51] They don't mind buzzard, do they?
[0:54] Well, it depends.
[0:55] I've got to talk to him and find out.
[0:56] If he reported the meeting to Haig as it was reported, then they do, because the report you got on that meeting was highly erroneous.
[1:04] Well, no.
[1:05] The report Haig gave me on the meeting, the point was, no, no, no, you can't bring Buzz up for that.
[1:10] He was only in it for the last 15 minutes.
[1:12] No, he was in it for the entire meeting, and Chappy Rose wasn't in it at all, and I was told Chappy Rose sat in the meeting.
[1:18] So we're getting some bullshit from somebody, and this...
[1:21] This is what pisses me off with the chicken heads over there.
[1:26] Basically, you say Chappy was not in the meeting.
[1:28] Chappy Rose was not in the meeting at all unless he was under the rug.
[1:33] Yeah.
[1:33] And Buzzard was in the entire meeting.
[1:37] And so was Garment, and so was that little shit that follows Garment around kissing his ass.
[1:42] Parker, yeah.
[1:43] Okay, I'll get that to Hague.
[1:44] Okay, okay.
