[1:24] Yeah. [1:24] Yeah. [1:24] Yeah. [1:24] Right. [1:24] I understand. [1:43] name on the application, talking about it. [2:07] Right. [2:07] Okay. [2:08] Well, what the hell, you know, we just can't sit here and worry about those papers anyway. [2:09] You know, the way I figure about it is, as you and I have said, we know that this is typical of this kind of a guy, you know, to [2:14] right out of his case and put it in the drawer.
