[2:21:27] I want to partner with you here today.
[2:21:29] I'd like to have a chat to see what the situation is.
[2:21:33] What time would you like to see me?
[2:21:36] Well, I can see you in a minute.
[2:21:38] He's very close to me.
[2:21:40] Could he come over at 1230?
[2:21:41] I don't know about that.
[2:21:42] If you have the weather, it might take a little bit longer.
[2:21:45] Well, why don't you see what his situation is?
[2:21:47] Maybe he isn't here.
[2:21:48] He isn't here today.
[2:21:49] He's not here on Wednesday, sir.
[2:21:52] Well, we have to make that decision on this.
[2:21:55] Well, yeah.
[2:21:56] See what his situation is.
[2:21:58] Whether 1230 today is better or 530 tonight's afternoon, I could either time.
[2:22:01] All right, sir.
[2:24:11] These phone call recommendations, of course, and we want to help them notice on the, on the, what is it, make, make your breakfast.
[2:24:23] We'll just send it else.
[2:24:49] This is a combination of the best ideas to look forward to.
[2:25:06] What is the purpose of it?
[2:25:06] My understanding is that she wanted something like this honoring the astronauts in Hawaii.
[2:25:08] Maybe you said that sometime?
[2:25:09] Yeah, that's a good idea.
[2:25:09] This is the best of all we have here.
[2:25:10] This would be a medal, of course.
