[0:00] Yeah.
[0:13] Bob, I think we should reconsider that 8 o'clock Friday meeting.
[0:17] First, I think Connelly has to be there, and I don't know if he's going to agree with this press conference.
[0:20] the other reason i mean this time we really don't need it i have another problem that what you could do would be to have the leaders of three o'clock four o'clock on uh
[0:50] and let the captain take the first half hour and get a report on how we're doing on stage two.
[1:14] The second half hour, it gets a little rundown on the summit.
[1:16] No, that's a hell of a big thing for us.
[1:17] It's quite some far market.
[1:17] How would that sound to you?
[1:18] Well, you know, we just don't want those guys to mess with us.
[1:19] And we could also give them a feel
[1:20] So they're going to go out and make those speeches.
[1:44] Sure.
[1:44] Or should we say...
[1:45] Okay.
[1:47] Well, touch down.
[2:16] No.
[2:39] I think we're going to preserve that precedent.
[2:40] I know it's very important.
[2:41] We have borrowed them.
[2:53] 11 o'clock 11 o'clock
[3:21] And if the cabin gets delayed a little bit, it's all right.
[3:54] Right.
[4:13] Four o'clock.
[4:13] Five.
[4:13] Good.
[4:13] That's the deal.
[4:14] Yeah.
[4:14] But I think you'll agree that the Friday thing was not very disruptive.
[4:15] Yeah.
[4:15] What clutters him up with these blood-maintaining sort of things.
[4:17] And also, in regard, it does the same thing in a week.
[4:18] We've got to watch against this repeating pattern, simply because we did it before.
[4:19] So we've got to do it.
[4:25] Right, right, okay.
