[1:43:15] Hello.
[1:43:20] Hello, Kurt.
[1:43:22] Well, I guess, I know you haven't had much sleep, but I want you to know that that was really a great job on the steel thing, and you tell all the people in your shop tonight, I'm most grateful.
[1:43:34] You know, after all, of course, the company did have to raise prices, but all in all, it's foolish to have a strike about as close as 11 when they finally came down to 11,000.
[1:44:14] Well, you get a little time off to go to the country or something.
[1:44:19] You must be tired.
[1:44:20] I understand you didn't take your shoes off for three nights, according to Jim Hodgson.
[1:44:27] Railroad?
[1:44:27] No, you steal people, steal in a more orderly way.
[1:44:30] You only stay up for three o'clock at night.
[1:44:45] Oh, boy.
[1:45:20] All right.
[1:45:25] Gotta get some rest in a little while.
[1:45:27] Okay.
[1:45:29] I've been talking about it all year long.
[1:45:30] You were an All-American baseball player and they don't believe you.
[1:45:34] And I said they don't remember that far back.
[1:45:40] Okay.
[1:45:40] Bye.
