It was about the thing.
Yes, sir.
God damn it.
I've already been to the plaintiff's office.
I told him.
I just told him.
I canceled the courier who got this message.
So he didn't need to see me.
That was what it was about.
He wanted to come and see me, but I passed him.
Yes, sir.
I told him on the way over that it was canceled.
Right.
Well, then he called and said he needed to see you.
He didn't tell me the subject.
Is that what it was about?
Yes, sir.
I told him that if it was about that meeting...
You were working on something else, and he said, fine.
So he said, yeah.
I said, okay.
They're all here, so we'll be over here.
I'm just going to wait a minute.
We're pushing.
