[0:00] I'm going to relent a little on the former policy thing.
[0:18] And I'd like for Sapphire to make it exactly $1,500.
[0:27] In other words, make about $200 more.
[0:28] OK?
[0:28] He's got $1,250 now.
[0:28] No, what was it?
[0:28] What was it?
[0:29] About $1,700.
[0:30] Just say, put it this way, he can, because he hasn't been able to get this cleared by him, you see, they want to put some more in there.
[0:44] So why don't you just say that he needs 200, put it this way, he needs 200 more words, 250 more words.
[0:52] Try to, I'd like to, you see, let me put it this way, I don't want to screw around having to, you know, argue about it, see.
[0:59] So tell him that if he can put 250 more words, that takes him actually to 1,500.
[1:18] Right?
[1:18] Yeah.
[1:18] You see, 1,250 plus 250 equals 1,500.
[1:19] Henry's was 1,700, or whatever it was.
[1:22] I think it was something like that.
[1:24] Just say 1,500, not a word over.
[1:25] And if he can work it out, I won't read this one.
[1:27] Get that to add 250.
[1:28] about the 1,500 and 7,000, okay?
[1:31] Bye.
