[0:17] You know, even I agree with you down here. [0:47] Oh, [1:17] They don't have the information. [1:38] Well, my view is that rather than having, putting a damn big installation on the little thing down, close it a little bit, that it doesn't matter. [1:41] Just have the alley and then upstairs. [1:42] One, two, three, four. [1:42] And put it on the third floor. [1:47] put up a very gorgeous table on the bed. [2:09] It goes up there and expands the bath and so forth and so on. [2:10] How would that be? [2:10] See, you've got the water and so forth down here. [2:11] Yeah, it could be done there. [2:12] It could be done there, as a matter of fact, then. [2:13] And then, I don't know. [2:14] And, uh, put it in there where it would be handy. [2:15] Yeah. [2:15] Well, I suppose we'll go down here. [2:15] Let's go over there. [2:25] But I didn't want to say in terms of what you do down below, but I think just the one strength of voting, as I understand it, is voting for the tribute. [2:51] Now, that would require, for example, organic changes to be done in the air condition, and that sort of thing. [2:53] I know that I don't receive it. [2:54] Even when I use this bulletin, I don't change each dollar an hour. [2:58] But if we had this down here, this is convenient enough. [3:08] You just take the elevator down and walk to it, right? [3:10] Yeah. [3:10] And you don't need showers. [3:10] You can go out and shower. [3:33] Thank you.
