Yes, sir.
Were you able to get the word on the purchase?
We spent, what we did, we spent a lot of time and went over the whole thing.
Yeah, I knew they should look at it.
Yeah, and then, I'm sure we made the notes on it and so forth.
Those may be the ones, but I don't copy what's not there.
So, you may have told her, but it wasn't Rose's.
Rose, we had some of hers were picked somewhere, so I don't know.
Okay, I'll make it very clear.
Just call it, you'll hear it.
She'll remember because she sat there and looked at the hole in it.
Okay.
It's pretty clear.
It says RX-1 and RX-11.
It doesn't mark the others at all?
No.
Well, that's not correct.
Well, he hasn't.
He hasn't had the information.
No, you just, I don't want to know.
Just be sure that whatever Julie found, just follow through.
And take the ones that she picked.
