Hello.
Good morning, Mr. Edwards.
John, your call, that's yours?
Mr. Edwards and I are calling now.
Did you know that?
Oh, did you?
Did you know that?
Yes.
Oh, the reason I called was because you told me you were staying back.
That's the other thing that I wanted to tell you to keep it to yourself.
It was because I was telling everybody that I'm sorry and that you were leaving home.
Oh, sorry.
Well, Mr. Edwards is up there now.
Can we get through?
Oh, fine.
I'll let him know that.
All right.
Well, have a nice day.
Okay, fine.
I know I had a lot of fun.
Don't worry too much.
I don't know why.
