[6:00] We are waiting for some ads to come in for purchase in the next spring.
[6:01] Just wait.
[6:02] That's all I can share.
[6:02] I'm sure that's all I have.
[6:03] I don't want to hear this.
[6:04] I don't want to hear this.
[6:04] Yeah.
[7:04] Yes, I want to do that for you.
[7:06] Why don't you do that and make that before?
[7:14] I was having fun.
[7:16] I think that's all I need.
[7:19] One, two, three.
[7:21] Take this one.
[7:21] You want to take that one?
[7:27] That's fine.
[7:29] Two crews.

[7:35] Okay.
[8:01] I haven't read the green.
[8:04] I haven't read the blue.
[8:08] You don't even have a blue checker.
[8:13] Remember?
[8:14] Yeah.
[8:15] Wait a minute.
[8:19] I don't have a blue checker.
[8:31] How do you like the view of that?
[9:04] I don't know.
[9:23] I guess you're right.
[9:24] This is probably the better one.
[9:26] Not listening to Spanish all day through this crinkled, great late day on the mind battery.
[9:33] This is not a good sign.
[9:34] All right.
[9:36] You read back out of the question.
[9:38] That's good.
[9:38] A little more time to get.
[9:40] All right.
[9:40] That's good.
[9:42] That was a good story.

[9:45] You should really go get something.
[9:47] Thank you.
[9:53] Do you have a calendar?
[9:55] Yes, I have.
[9:56] Beautiful, wonderful, beautiful.
[9:57] I am just, just, I am in need of this.
[9:59] I think this is going to look a little bit lovely for the show.
[10:03] This is a great sign.
[10:04] And it's heavy enough to wear before they get away from me.
[10:11] Is that a mark?
[10:12] Yeah, yeah.
[10:13] I don't think it's a mark.
[10:19] Well, I must say, how long is it?
[10:21] I don't know.

[11:22] Yeah, it's your doctor's name.
[11:23] Yeah.
[11:24] I remember when I was a baby, I had some babies.
[11:34] Oh, my God.
[11:34] And I started to think about this.
[11:37] Oh, my God.
[11:37] There's no way to help someone.
[11:39] I can't figure out how to help anyone.
[11:43] I can't.
[11:44] I can't.
[11:45] I can't.
[11:46] I can't.
[11:47] I can't.
[11:48] I can't.
[11:53] Any changes?
[11:55] So I'll tell you about it.
[11:56] Justin, I think you're doing all right.
[11:58] I think you're just running.
[11:59] I'm just getting ready to run.
[12:01] All right.
[12:02] I talked with Manolo.
[12:02] I talked with Jim.
[12:03] I talked with Jim today.
[12:06] I checked in today to see whether my black-tie, white-tie, they say they're all in the same shape.
[12:12] So we don't need to go through there.
[12:13] Oh, I want some.
[12:15] Yes, we're going to see if it works.
[12:19] Actually, we're...
[12:20] I checked it though.
[12:21] You have a silk and you have a light weight.
[12:24] I think you want something that's lightweight.
[12:26] A little heavier.
[12:26] Yes.
[12:27] You know what?
[12:27] It might make it better.
[12:29] It might make it better.
[12:30] I'll tell you why.
[12:36] Sometimes the light is in certain color on your knees or legs and so forth.
[12:42] And they don't hang on to this.
[12:45] And they're very good fabrics for the skin too.
[12:50] What's your code?
[12:53] Black.
[12:54] Black is the best.
[12:57] I will do it.
[12:58] Okay.
[13:00] Actually, we don't make it, right?
[13:02] P-U-L-A-L-R-S-H-O-R. P-U-L-A-L-R-S-H-O-R. P-U-L-A-L-R-S-H-O-R.
[13:15] That's a big deal.
[13:17] Yeah.
[13:17] Because she had a fence.
[13:20] My house was really small.
[13:23] I have shawls.
[13:24] And I have one of the, what is it?
[13:26] Stylus.
[13:26] Stylus.
[13:26] It's not a sharp thing.
[13:28] It's in good taste.
[13:29] Whatever style it is.
[13:31] Not too stylish.
[13:34] No.
[13:34] Not like the word.
[13:35] More like the original.
[13:38] Yeah.
[13:39] More like the word.
[13:44] So you thought I'd tell you something?
[13:48] Oh, yes.
[13:48] No, I'm literally still talking.
[13:51] It's old-fashioned, I can still talk.
[13:54] I don't know, I think so.
[13:55] Really?
[13:56] Sometimes I think it would be a good way to lie.
[14:05] Can't think of anything else?
[14:07] Jordan, I'm here.
[14:07] I heard you get a lot of them dead.
[14:10] I'm going to take another thing, because I've got to move my glove.
[14:12] Let's see.
[14:12] We'll go back to the crowd here.
[14:14] Okay, good.
[14:39] I'd like you to get about a, where did you put it, where did you put it?
[14:48] The box, where they're set and so forth, about a dozen of our, you know, the new, we didn't cut much, the new ladies, five hours, so, and also, the, let me see, the,
[15:08] Oh, they came down to the division, each of them, each of them had an ashtray, an ashtray.
[15:13] Oh, you need another ashtray?
[15:16] You don't have one?
[15:18] One ashtray?
[15:18] Yeah, we got an ashtray.
[15:20] Oh, you need another?
[15:21] Do you have the ashtray?
[15:23] Let's see, what else do we got?
[15:24] We have those, uh, some things in China, you know, it's, you know, those are not, they're not, they're not, they're not worth anything.
[15:32] Let's see, uh...
[15:39] I think we might find something else.
[15:42] Yeah, the thing is that those coins, you know, those, I guess, ice coins, you know, those dollars, those originally...
[15:51] Yeah, circulated sets.
[15:53] Yeah, certain ones that are, that are working a little bit.
[15:58] Right.
[15:59] Oh my God, yes.
[16:00] But it makes not much other things, but we can get all of you to take a picture.
[16:09] Okay.
[16:10] Take a picture.
[16:11] So you can take a picture.
[16:15] This will be better than anything else.
[16:29] Well, it snowed here this morning.
[16:31] We just missed it.
[16:32] That's from the Soviet Union.
[16:33] That was one of their state gifts in our last visit there.
[16:42] Do you have, do you have one of the, uh, the one road for your trip?
[16:48] Where?
[16:49] Oh, yeah.
[16:49] Well, I have virtually everything I need, you know, in case I start driving.
[16:53] You see, I've got lots of light and things.
