[0:00] Hello?
[0:09] Hello?
[0:10] Yeah, I just called to be sure your coattails were long enough for me in Massachusetts.
[0:23] I have to tell you that I'm delighted because I take off in about an hour, 2, 6, 8, 12, 5.
[0:25] We have one that we're sure of, and that's yours.
[0:29] Yeah.
[0:44] Well, my wife said she had a great meeting up there, despite the little messiness with the... Yeah.
[0:46] All right.
[0:46] Well, you know, it wasn't our people.
[0:58] Well, we're going, uh, right down the wire, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
[1:23] Uh, I would say that, uh, I wouldn't speculate about it if I were you, but I would, for this reason, I believe, just can't say, uh, my own, uh, my, uh, my, my destiny, because I just want to hold on to my destiny, and they're, uh, probably going to wait for that to happen.
[1:48] You know, obviously, which is fine, but, uh,
[1:49] But the major thing is we'll find out .
[2:01] No.
[2:17] You can be very confident.
[2:18] You can be very, very confident on that point.
[2:19] As I go to the website, I'm going to be very confident.
[2:20] You say that you're going to make it right through the agreement on the major items.
[2:21] I'm going to be very confident.
[2:22] I'm going to be very confident.
[2:23] I'm going to be very confident.
[2:27] Oh, yes.
[2:44] Yes, there has to be another meet.
[2:45] That's the whole point.
[2:45] To work out the details.
[2:46] The details are terribly important, as I pointed out.
[2:47] Because we didn't work out the details of bombing off 68.
[2:48] We were only a cause, and not a fault.
[2:49] So, uh, but I, we still need, you know, details.
[2:50] There don't have to be another meet.
[2:50] But, but you can, but you can still, you can still be confident on that point.
[2:52] No, there's, I would say, I wouldn't say anything about the date.
[3:11] I can only say that the, uh, you can well see that they have to re-recognize the, uh, group.
[3:13] I'm very confident.
[3:13] Oh, shit.
[3:13] Yeah, they, they, well, they, uh, that's a little bit, uh, that's a take on what you said.
[3:15] In fact, no, they're in that direction, but, uh, they're there.
[3:18] Well, good for you.
[3:36] Thank you.
