How do you announce to the next individual about 10 minutes before they go out to get that movie?
Well, what you do is you announce the episode.
They all know it's short, so.
Yes, sir.
But you've got to be sure.
You see, think of it as an interpreter giving 20 minutes rather than 15 if you have an interpreter.
Is that correct?
Yes.
In all things, 50-minute intervals, they don't do anything scheduled in a half-hour or more.
