Mr. Wood, sir.
I have sent over a copy, and it's going to be very hard for you to read it, but I think you can make it out and just sort of, you know, fill in if you don't know what it is.
All right.
Get it to Ray.
Let him type me off a copy.
Get it over here.
All right, fine.
Thank you.
Certainly.
