[0:27] Sonny G's recent report ended up on mine, but I don't see any reason for me to come in and interview him to debate the damn thing.
[0:42] That's my point.
[0:43] I have nothing to debate.
[0:44] I know what the hell his options are.
[0:46] And what do you think the pilot, the reaper, wants to call me about to urge me to do something?
[0:52] I know he's against it.
[0:53] Present to God that thing he presented himself when I talked with him in Hague.
[0:58] All right, he's gone down in four months.
[1:05] I've got the four months.
[1:06] I've got the six months.
[1:09] I've got the two months, and I'm thinking about it.
[1:10] That's all I need.

[1:16] It's against the six months.
[1:17] No, I'm sort of thinking about the six months.
[1:19] That's out of your control.
[1:21] Okay?
[1:21] Fine.
