Okay. I guess I'll be working at home

this morning.

Is that okay?

Yeah. Me and Spongebob got it.

We're ready to go.

We have actual intel on the buyer.

He's been there hundreds of times.

He knows the arena inside out.

Great. Could you put his credentials

Joe's been working hard

to build his business.
