Okay, well, uh, we'll call you.
He needs a tip, Fee.
Is that enough?
Uh, thank you.
Nice to meet you.
No, I can't open the Debron file.
Well, can you just get him
to resend it?
Well, and make sure that he does so
before the board meeting.
Okay - no, it's all right.
I've got so much to go through.
Okay, thanks, Pete. Bye.
