[0:21] No.
[0:21] You wouldn't want to do it at 4.30, would you?
[0:25] I hate dating and stuff like that.
[0:29] You'll feel... Is this the last day at Finch's now?

[0:45] Shake hands?
[0:46] I just want to confirm with the company staff that we're not going to speak.
[0:53] We're not setting up any P.A.

[1:18] Has the vice president accepted that thing yet?
[1:21] I guess he hasn't.
[1:23] For what?
[1:24] That cabinet dinner.
[1:25] I guess Rodgers is the only one.
