[0:02] Gregor said he had an emergency that was coming up.
[0:03] He didn't say what time.
[0:04] He's gone to Dallas.
[0:04] He's going to Dallas, he says.
[0:05] Well then, let me be sure.
[0:06] They said Barry asked me to be postponed.
[0:26] Well, no, Barry didn't have to be a post-bomber.
[0:29] We're trying to show the scale that you and my grand-grandmother were not buried here.
[0:33] I'm fine with that.
[0:39] You understand what I'm trying to say?
[0:40] And instead of somebody saying that Barry can't be here, we want to have him at a time when he can.
[0:46] Is that what they're going to tell him, or how they're going to handle it most of the time?
[0:50] That's the way they're going to handle it.
[0:52] It should be.
[0:52] Yeah, but I mean, tell the other folks why.
[0:54] Yes, sir.
[0:54] Don't put it on me, you see.
[0:55] Barry had to go off, and we're going to try to schedule it in time, because I don't need to be here.
[0:58] That's precisely what it is.
[1:03] Good?
