[0:00] Hi, Al.
[0:26] Are you able to get over there yet?
[0:27] Yep.
[0:27] Yep.
[0:43] Right.
[1:30] Right.
[1:58] Yeah.
[1:58] Right.
[1:58] Yeah.
[2:11] Well, yes.
[2:33] Yeah.
[2:34] Yeah.
[2:34] Yeah.
[2:34] Well, particularly in view of what he had had the day you returned.
[2:37] I mean, that was the only thing that concerned me all about your return.
[2:40] And I wondered why the hell you were coming back

[3:32] There is a hell of a viable option, I'm sure.
[3:33] There's a hell of a lot.

[4:23] What's your direction on that, Jim?
[4:24] Go ahead.
[4:49] I don't think it's that bad.
[5:23] Alright, I'm fine.
[5:35] I'm fine.
[5:35] I'm a little weird.
[5:35] I love you.
[5:36] I love you a lot.
[5:36] I love you.
[5:36] There's nothing to worry about.
[5:37] There ain't nothing to worry about.
[6:00] fire, if they were concerned, they'd back off their recent decisions.
[6:06] There's no deal we could accept, is that right?
[6:48] All right.
[6:58] Thanks very much.
