Can you finish your people yet?
How'd it go?
These fellows, as you know, are sort of the anchorman at the local level, and some of them have much bigger audiences in their markets than do the networks, and so that could be it.
I had one other minor thought, but I don't know.
I probably know it could be, but I left the quotas on me.
You know, we want to make a little point out of that.
So it occurred to me that somebody mentioned the Polish can.
I wondered if we're buying as many of those as we could from the can.
And this would be a nice little gesture to the quotas.
Do you know what I mean?
I told them.
I already told somebody that.
And so if it occurs to you that it's worthwhile, you might just call the police.
And if they ask, tell them to get on the hell over here fast.
All right.
I'm done.
Hello?
Yeah.
Hello?
Hi, Billy.
How are you?
Are you in Ohio?
North Carolina, brother?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I'm glad you're back.
I appreciate it.
