[2:30:45] What are his, uh, you know, what are his, what are his qualifications?
[2:30:50] He's an assistant attorney general, right?
[2:30:59] I understand that, by the way.
[2:31:01] How about the qualifications then?
[2:31:07] What's the practice law?
[2:31:13] Where is he from?
[2:31:18] There we go.
[2:31:19] You go to law school there.
[2:31:29] Say hello, Unable God.

[2:32:40] That's right.
[2:32:46] Well, I was just the other person there, and I'm still all around our Irish crew.
[2:32:51] Every play we make a little gap, but it's good.
[2:32:55] Good, good, good.
[2:33:04] Well, in case he calls you, if he doesn't call you, how are Dan going to do this now?
[2:33:11] He just doesn't do it.
[2:33:12] He won't take no for an answer.
