[0:00] Hello.
[0:06] I forgot to mention to you in the middle of the day, I had a call and I had a request.
[0:15] But then
[0:38] On the field of everything, I said, well, this is one of the great stories.
[1:01] I said, we cannot be ready yet.
[1:02] We'll have to wait until after all of the return.
[1:03] But that means what we have done.
[1:04] The contributions of the lady, the nurse, the nurse, the dramatic emotional story, it's all gone.
[1:06] It's all settled.
[1:06] It's one of the important diaries of the book.
[1:08] He, of course, told me, I told him, he would like to have Hansel Baldwin, of course, you know, he would like to sign him, but he can't do it.
[1:37] He would like to have Hansel Baldwin, but he can't do it.
[1:40] I like the idea that I told him that you would be, you know, on the call.
[2:00] I mean, that you would cooperate, that I'm sure you would cooperate.
[2:04] Of course, as you know, the digestive system, they're just trying to help us.
[2:06] They're on our side.
[2:06] And what I would think is that all of us, because she's probably responsible, and we're people who are, you know, we've got to be able to move forward.
[2:10] so they can start collecting the material now and we'll all have a very positive story about it.
[2:36] So I just wanted to alert you that if they call, which I assume they will, probably there is a point in time where people are expecting an idea.
[2:39] Sure.
[2:41] Sure.
[2:46] Great.
[2:47] But I know this, too, that, as you realize, there are very few members of Gresham who thought the contract was going to be there.
[3:02] I just came to my own decision.
[3:02] There's absolutely nothing to believe, per se, or anything about this.
[3:04] Of course, a lot of it is not present.
[3:07] So tell me, because after 28 months, we were going to be able to talk about it a little bit later.
[3:12] All right.
[3:24] Okay.
