I need Lautner or Rhymesmith down to Aspen to escort an electrician under the house.
I can't hand Rhymesmith under.
Oh, okay.
Rhymesmith?
Beckman?
Well, I'll have to think about it and see who I can send down there first.
Okay, well... Where are they at?
They're inside Aspen right now, but we need somebody right now.
