Yeah.
You know that tape you gave me to go in that Sony yesterday?
The tape I gave you?
Yeah, you know the cassette?
Yeah.
Okay, let me ask you something.
Did you check that tape before you put it in the machine?
Before I put it in the machine?
I mean before I did, before you give it to me.
No.
That tape shouldn't have anything on it.
Yeah, got news for you.
It did.
Yes.
What was on it?
Music.
Music?
Yeah.
Damn.
That's it.
Now those tapes were sent to us.
I know that.
We got him on the phone now.
Got who on the phone?
Moreland.
So you didn't check it on him?
Yeah.
Pumpkin, okay.
No.
Okay, okay.
That was supposed to be a clean tape, but it was brand new.
I know it, but they ain't brand new.
Okay.
I'll hang on here.
That's all right.
Forget it.
Okay?
Well, what can I say?
That's it.
That's it.
Okay.
They're supposed to be new tapes.
Right.
Right.
I'll let you go.
They come out of that bag with them new tapes.
Yeah.
They weren't new tapes, though.
Well, I guess we have to run through and check all them out.
We've got to check every one of them.
Yeah.
So I'll let you go, okay?
I'll call you a little later tonight.
All righty.
Okay, we'll see you.
Bye-bye.
