Hello?
Hello?
Bill, I just wanted you to know that I thought that was a fine job you did yesterday of grabbing that flag when these people tried to take it down.
Now that, uh, I know all the heat people take around now, but, you know, these judges mean something.
You walked out there and grabbed it, too.
Didn't get scarred up?
No.
Hey, I think really that you're right.
They, uh, they're not, they're not interested in the fight.
They just want to do damage and let people run away.
You tell them I called and packed up too, will you?
All right, Bill.
All right.
