Thank you.

Now, do you think that we might be wanting to spend more than five minutes with Timmish?

Why?

Is that what I suggested?

Listen, we have a chat in this dinner service now, a presentation.

I don't think we might want to spend Timmish until after work, so it's a little more of an excuse.

Well, I'll do the chat now.

I'm going to tell Timmish he can't spend more than five minutes.

I can't promise that.

See?

Yes, gentlemen, if you'd like to step back and just brief you on how this is going to work, sir.

I think I have.

That's all right.

If not, you can come in.

I'll take care of it.

I'll be right back.
