[0:12] You need to do it.
[0:13] So just from now on, you're spending as quick and fast as you can.
[0:19] The reason the institute, as a matter of fact, I think you could have a receipt right here.
[0:36] by the agony of all the rest of us.
[0:39] I guess you could approach that in two ways.
[0:42] The reason that we have families is because we don't have substance.
[0:45] And it's almost impossible for someone to bring up with some substance that matters when a little kid is tugging on daddy's coat.
[0:54] And I think that's the tendency.
[0:56] They'll sit down.
[0:57] They come in.
[0:57] They've got several people lined up.
[0:58] They all know that.
[0:59] It's like a customer.
[0:59] There's no discussion of substance and all that.
[1:05] Maybe we can set up a convention ceremony in the office tonight, but I guess I'll give you time.
[1:10] I think you might want to sit down here and talk.
[1:11] Instead of us getting you out of here, as you well know, what we'll do is do a quick extension.
[1:17] As quickly as we can.
[1:18] We want to do it today.
[1:19] This is going to check to see whether it's in the meeting today or yesterday.
[1:22] I actually might be able to knock.
[1:38] We'd like to stop now.
[1:41] Earlier today, he asked the court to give him a consultant.
[2:01] earlier, just when he was going to report, he was calling Bob.
[2:07] Follow the suggestion.
[2:09] Focus on phone 9 to 2 o'clock.
[2:10] And if it gets out at 4 p.m., would you like to... Oh, yeah.
[2:15] Talk to her when he calls.
[2:16] Absolutely.
[2:16] That'd be sure to help you.
[2:19] So I'm going to call his office and tell him to make the call.
[2:23] I'm sorry.
[2:31] Why not?
[2:32] You said you'd call back at 2 p.m. Is it the whole meeting?
[2:35] I'm going to call at 2 p.m.
[2:38] Thank you.
