If you're coming to Rebosa, we'd have that, uh... What we want is not to make a special tree down like you did before, but just to take this little tree that you have.
There's near a little Christmas tree somebody sent her.
Julie knows about it.
I'd better ask her.
Somebody sent a little Christmas tree already decorated, you see, for us.
They had it sent to Florida and put in, not on that cool house, but the other house on the table.
That's all they did.
We don't want to decorate a special tree down here.
Maybe get some greens and other things.
I'll get ahold of him and call, whatever.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
I need to get ran by the state, sir.
You can travel.
Travel closer.
