Thank you.

James F. Gennaro

Thank you very much.

James F. Gennaro

Yes, sir.

James F. Gennaro

Oh, by the way, hang on.

James F. Gennaro

So these alarms that have been going off.

James F. Gennaro

My phone can't ring, but alarms will go off, so I have to...

James F. Gennaro

And I went off twice.

James F. Gennaro

I'm supposed to...

James F. Gennaro

Take a pill.

James F. Gennaro

It's a sublingual pill.

James F. Gennaro

Pill, anyone?

James F. Gennaro

No?

James F. Gennaro

Pill?

James F. Gennaro

Okay.

James F. Gennaro

You good?

James F. Gennaro

I want to make sure my timer is off.

James F. Gennaro

Because I don't know if I showed it off last time.

James F. Gennaro

I did something, but it might ring again.

James F. Gennaro

I knew where the damn...

James F. Gennaro

Come on, here we go.

James F. Gennaro

It's off.

James F. Gennaro

I apologize.

James F. Gennaro

Please.
