[0:05] The Vice President is in now and is open the rest of the time to the meeting. [0:07] Although he is aware of the Vice President's request, I wonder if we can have the Vice President come over now and I hate to say it, but I felt it was necessary that either Henry or I hate to say it, but I'm sorry. [0:28] Before I open the clock, yes, sir. [0:32] I don't know the duration of the meeting. [0:35] I can see about 10 o'clock. [0:48] I'm going to check with Henry. [0:55] Do you want Henry to come in first? [0:56] Because of the meeting, it's agreed that Mike goes late as 10.30. [0:59] That's all right. [1:00] I'll just wait. [1:06] I don't want to be caught out of my mind, so I'll just say that I'm in a breakfast meeting this morning and I'll be in around 10 o'clock. [1:13] We'll call. [1:14] Can you get that in process? [1:16] Yes, sir. [1:16] Can you tell that again? [1:18] Yes, sir. [1:18] Okay. [1:18] In the meantime, I'll just wait to hear from you then. [1:23] Thank you. [1:23] Bye. [1:24] And I'll just wait here. [1:25] Thank you for waiting. [1:26] I'll know. [1:27] I'll know when you think he's going to be in that phone. [1:29] Okay. [1:30] I said he'd be there in 10 until 8. [1:33] All right. [1:33] Thank you.
