Rose, on the reading, on the copy of this phone thing, have you given it to the secretary yet?

Well, he hasn't put it out there yet.

No?

I have two or three small white lines hardly on my copy.

We don't have to change it.

So don't give the reading copy out to the big line, okay?

Will you come over here now, yes?
