[1:24:24] Coldwater was standing at the phone yesterday and he's in good spirits, he's gonna support us on that.
[1:24:35] Moscow thinks he's got a few technical questions, but he says he had a great trip.
[1:24:39] I think that's turning out pretty well, don't you?
[1:24:45] If you go around, how do you find the reaction?
[1:24:50] just because I was in Moscow, or what was done, or what, what is it?
[1:24:57] What's your analysis on that?
[1:25:06] Um, yeah, they like that, don't they?
[1:25:09] And they like the fact that we're still mining up the bottom of Asterix till we get back to Vortex.
[1:25:21] but they don't want to surrender, so it's sort of a mixed bag.
[1:25:34] We can have some ups and downs between on that because, you know, the Russians might screw around with the Chinese, but on the other hand, we've got them both boxing it pretty good.
[1:25:42] If we wanted two of them, then we'd go the other way and show them, and they would.
[1:26:04] Well, they know, too, that I drove awful hard parks over there, you know.
[1:26:07] We didn't settle that lease because we didn't get the infrastructure wrong.
[1:26:10] Well, that's a pretty good thing to say.
[1:26:11] You know, and that we insisted on the sub things on their retiring 200 old missiles.
[1:26:17] Well, that's pretty good stuff.
[1:26:31] Oh, yeah, we'll have something there.
[1:26:34] there.
[1:29:45] They got out of it.
[1:30:26] Well, one thing, he just can't campaign, Harry.
[1:30:29] I don't care how.
[1:30:30] Don't you agree?
[1:30:32] Or could he?
[1:30:32] I suppose in three months he'll get in a wheelchair, but... And he could last time.
