Would you get, uh, I'd like for you to get a base.

I want one that's new, with a bag.

I'd like to see a lot of business.

A brand new one would be pretty good.

One of those ones, did you, like, come to California?

Is there any follow-up action you would like us to take?

Uh, no.

No, when we get out, I just work out of time, because we're there, there, there, and I might even come off for a weekend or something.

All right.

I'm sorry.

Did he speak to you about it?

No, I don't know if he does.

Well, you tell me, because I want to know.

I don't know if he does.

In terms of that period of time, did you come off?

Just for a few days.

A few days long.

Not for a few days.

In fact, I still kept my phone in the office.

Maybe over a weekend or four.

That's what I meant by two.

Yeah, I didn't mean a long period.

But then, like many of us, it's kind of like a federal job.

So far, so good.

All right, so finally, it's on this exam, and we're here until Wednesday, as requested.

So you have not done anything particular.

I told you that you should have heard this in the technical meetings.

In the light, there was a meeting with his lawyer this morning.

He'll be here until Wednesday.

Meeting with his lawyer?

Yes, sir.

Well.

I have no problems to discuss with the president.

Just wanted to stop and say hello.

All right.

uh... uh... uh...

Father said I've got some very young people coming in at 6 o'clock.

They've come from 5.30.
