Hello?
Well, are the stories going all right?
All right.
It's done now, you know.
They expect to leave.
I see.
Yeah, yeah.
I hadn't forgotten.
I thought that they were going to press me until the day that they already would.
That's good.
Good.
Mm-hmm.
What you really feel, Ron, was the right thing to do.
Walk across there.
Good.
And I sort of had a good feel to it.
All those little kids are... Everybody was positive.
You think?
Good.
I'll bet they use it, don't you think, this time?
Because of the walls.
Good.
Thank you.
