President, the photograph will be at the end of this meeting.
It's only a 10-minute meeting.
So I...
The press photograph will be... Oh, yeah.
Just bring it in a quarter to 12, sir, and that will conclude the meeting.
Do you want more than that?
No, no.
Just bring it in a quarter.

Five-minute meeting is supposed to be your intent.
Well, a ten-minute meeting total, including the board of directors.
Well, a little after four.
