• 1:54
  cornet sorry joan cornet this george lazenby perhaps probably probably Oh, yeah.
• 2:01
  George, he's retired. I'm sorry, officially renounced. He's retired.
• 2:05
  He is, and you know what? I'm happy to say I sent him a nice little message,
• 2:08
  and by God, he responded and said thank you.
• 2:12
  What a wonderful, long career for a bloke who never really intended to.
• 2:18
  If you've seen the documentary Becoming Bond, you'll know that George never really intended to be.
• 2:23
  Recommended to anybody, yeah. Yeah. He never really intended to be a big star,
• 2:28
  but he kind of ended up that way.
• 2:31
  But you guys know all about being big stars.
• 2:34
  This is an incredible Western. Just when you thought Gunfight was impressive,
• 2:40
  everyone just took it up a level with this one.
• 2:43
  It's what you want in a sequel. It is the first film, but more than the first film.
• 2:47
  It is, you know, we don't have time to Josh here at all.
• 2:52
  It is absolutely incredible. You've got Don the Dragon Wilson in this,
• 2:56
  Cynthia Ross Rock, Matthias Hughes returns and.
• 3:02
  Man, I don't know how much to say about, you know, when you've got a winning
• 3:06
  formula, you're better off sticking to it.
• 3:09
  You guys have found the recipe, eh?
• 3:13
  Well, my producer and my personal Russian publicist is the mastermind behind all of this, really.
• 3:21
  You know, he's the guy that pulls it all together and pulls the strings and
• 3:25
  makes these fantastic strategic manoeuvres and, you know.
• 3:31
  Alex, I have to say, mate, I've been watching your movies now,
• 3:36
  as you know, for a while now.
• 3:37
  I've never seen you. You really went deep with this movie. There's a couple
• 3:41
  of scenes in this where I've never seen you go.
• 3:43
  So there's becoming an eloquence to your silence on screen. There is. You know?
• 3:52
  Thank you, Ken, and thank you, Draw, for compliments.
• 3:57
  I really think it's the best movie.
• 4:00
  My best movie to date as an actor and we can
• 4:04
  talk about producing we can talk about publicity we can
• 4:07
  talk about everything else but i should
• 4:10
  be honest with you kent and with your audience it's
• 4:15
  very important to have a great director enjoy my friend
• 4:18
  and he's great as a friend and he's a great as a co-star you
• 4:21
  saw chemistry we do have chemistry because we always
• 4:25
  have fun when we're making movies together but he's
• 4:29
  a great director and as a producer and as
• 4:33
  an actor i was really i was really
• 4:35
  lucky to have him so joe thank you my friend thank you thank you yes you're
• 4:41
  only as good as the people you work with and if you work with the best you you're
• 4:45
  bound to sort of pick up some of that the show goes along oh yeah this this
• 4:51
  movie starts with a bang it ends with a bang.
• 4:56
  But there's so much, I'm just going through my notes, there's so much I wrote
• 5:00
  down that I just enjoyed.
• 5:02
  I'll start with this. This has my, this is what I'll start with.
• 5:09
  This movie has, for my money, one of my favorite performances ever in an Alexander
• 5:16
  Nevsky movie with Alexander Nevsky directed by Joe Cornett.
• 5:20
  Sadly, Joe, you're not in the scene, but I won't spoil it because I know it's
• 5:24
  just come out because I want people to watch it.
• 5:27
  But it's a scene in the movie. It's a, I won't say it's a pivotal moment. It's a great moment.
• 5:34
  And it's in a graveyard, like all great moments in Westerns happen in graveyards.
• 5:41
  And you've found this guy, this Joe promised me a great villain last time we
• 5:47
  talked about these Westerns, and James Chalk, is it? Is that how you pronounce his name?
• 5:53
  James Chalk as really the scar of this action version of the Searchers, if you will.
• 6:00
  Very good, Ken. I like that.
• 6:03
  Phenomenally. I mean, he is so silently menacing. He reminds me of like Riccardo
• 6:08
  Montalban in like The Wrath of Khan, you know.
• 6:11
  When Nicholas Meyer said that, you know, a madman is more terrifying when he whispers.
• 6:17
  And because James doesn't really have a, I mean, he does sort of raise his voice,
• 6:21
  but his silence is so menacing.
• 6:25
  And, you know, hats off to Sean Murray for the great score where he's gone for
• 6:31
  this Morricone Hans Zimmer kind of mid-ground in there.
• 6:34
  A man who understands themes and and james has an incredibly menacing but an
• 6:42
  uneasy sort of theme to him which gives his character even more depth oh yeah
• 6:47
  that scene in the graveyard,
• 6:50
  where the line is the the great one-liner is uh what did i wrote it down here
• 6:55
  i made a promise to a friend to kill you that is that is the great moment that was like hands down.
• 7:06
  Just when I thought the movie wasn't going to get any better,
• 7:08
  that was like the little cherry on the sundae. I know it goes on after that.
• 7:12
  I'm not going to spoil what happens.
• 7:15
  But, yeah, that was just like a great Joe, a great directorial moment,
• 7:20
  Alex, great acting moment.
• 7:22
  Hats off to James Chalk for being a fantastic villain. I know he's not the only menace in this film.
• 7:28
  But hats off too to Sam Dobbins, who's another great actor in the piece,
• 7:33
  This John Fallon, who's the most enthusiastic undertaker I've ever seen.
• 7:37
  For sure. He beat everybody to the punch. He goes, I'm the only undertaker in this town.
• 7:43
  Yeah. I'm here to take away all the bodies.
• 7:47
  He's very dedicated. Let me put it that way. Yeah.
• 7:50
  So, yeah, tell me a little bit about that scene in the graveyard.
• 7:54
  That was just, I mean, it's so simple in a lot of ways, but sometimes the best
• 7:58
  scenes in Western... But it wasn't. But it wasn't. You're right.
• 8:02
  But it wasn't. simple for several reasons.
• 8:05
  And you're right, Joe is not in the scene as an actor, but he was as a director.
• 8:11
  And it was the start, I think, out of nowhere, suddenly it was raining,
• 8:18
  which basically brought more creepiness in that moment.
• 8:24
  And we also should mention our editor, great editor, Cody Miller.
• 8:29
  Yes. who, together with Joe, Joe, this was his studio, editing studio many times,
• 8:37
  and together we were able to extend those moments, those exact moments you're talking about.
• 8:44
  And they made it like a little standoff, like a standoff, kind of like a standoff,
• 8:52
  like a version of a standoff I had with Matthias Hughes in the first movie,
• 8:57
  Gunfighter, Trio Bravo.
• 9:01
  So for me, it's a matter of...
• 9:04
  It was fun. It was, again, it was huge fun.
• 9:08
  But don't forget that I was wearing my leather jacket.
• 9:11
  And it was still, even with those rain, it was super hot over there.
• 9:17
  And I think it was midday. And we started in the morning.
• 9:21
  Of course, I was tired and all sweaty and all of that.
• 9:26
  But I think it even made me to act better, to be more in the moment.
• 9:34
  And, of course, I mean, James Chalkin, I mean, he's a great actor. You want to kill him.
• 9:39
  When you watch the film, when your audience watch this film, they will understand.
• 9:44
  You want to kill him. So you just want to have this standoff with him.
• 9:49
  And, again, Dvore was there, and he was making sure that even when I'm just looking at the guy,
• 9:57
  not talking to the guy, just looking at the guy,
• 10:01
  I mean, I was still, authentic if
• 10:05
  we if i can say that my favorite english
• 10:08
  word so so i would look like
• 10:12
  a western hero like a hero from those spaghetti western so you're absolutely
• 10:18
  right you if you want to make something good you have to surround yourself with
• 10:23
  people who are who are as good and joy you know He's a great director and great actor, of course,
• 10:30
  but also great producer because it was him who brought Sam Wilkerson and his team on set.
• 10:36
  Sam was our director of photography, you know, and everyone else.
• 10:41
  It was his idea to shoot the movie again over there at Gallman's Gulch in Arizona.
• 10:49
  And I was just, you know, I was just enjoying it. Yeah, it was kind of hard, but I enjoyed it.
• 10:55
  Yes. joe i have a question about one particular moment i noticed that there's a scene in there when,
• 11:02
  after you and alex are ambushed by
• 11:07
  by the guys when you when you go looking yes and they they tie you up and when
• 11:15
  alex comes in you're already tied up but then you get away when you go in the
• 11:18
  back you get away from the guy
• 11:20
  who's holding you and you kick the gun he loses his gun out of his hand.
• 11:26
  I just want to know, did you actually catch that or was there a cut in between
• 11:31
  the moment when you escaped the guy at the back?
• 11:35
  Well, first of all, I'd like to say my hands were actually tied.
• 11:40
  Okay. I had to do that fight sequence with my wrists like this.
• 11:45
  Right, right, yeah, yeah.
• 11:46
  And I'm trying to remember the exact sequence.
• 11:51
  Business the action of picking up the gun
• 11:53
  it's like you you need him for like you hit him with your hands he loses the
• 11:58
  gun and as he loses he sort of goes into the air i just wanted to know if you
• 12:02
  actually caught that gun with your hands still tied up you know when you shoot
• 12:06
  him straight after you catch it well the way it's cut it looks like you caught the gun shot him in one,
• 12:12
  motion you know well of course to continue with my heroic image i will say yes
• 12:16
  that's okay that's It's great.
• 12:19
  It was just a great move. Just like, wow, he caught and fired in one motion.
• 12:24
  It was just... Tantor, I'll be honest with you. It almost happened that way.
• 12:29
  It almost happened that way? For all intents and purposes, yes.
• 12:32
  No. Yeah. I mean, you can... I got to say, that scene was made an absolute pleasure
• 12:38
  to do because Art Camacho, our fight coordinator,
• 12:44
  he was on this film and he's in this film. He plays one of the Comancheros.
• 12:50
  He plays the lead guy that goes after Ivan with a knife. Yeah,
• 12:53
  yeah. He's the guy that pulls the knife on you, yeah.
• 12:56
  Yeah, and that's not a good maneuver with this guy. No, no.
• 13:01
  I'd never go after this guy with a knife. Look, with the Terminator standing
• 13:04
  in front of her, don't throw stones at a man with a machine gun.
• 13:10
  But Art arranged that whole sequence, obviously. He did all the action sequences,
• 13:14
  But that particular one was really interesting to do.
• 13:19
  And in the first one, if you remember, I had that moment where I get all tired
• 13:24
  and pissed off that everything's going on and I can't do anything about it.
• 13:27
  I come out the swinging doors and I shoot three guys.
• 13:30
  Okay yeah this was been better because i got you know
• 13:33
  this physical contact with with this one
• 13:36
  actor who has been doing this for years and he
• 13:39
  was a gem to work with and he was so great in
• 13:42
  this and i'm like you know i i don't i
• 13:45
  don't want to hurt you and he's like i don't care
• 13:48
  you know it you know hurt me
• 13:51
  for real i can take it and and he was great he was
• 13:53
  so much fun and i had a blast doing that scene and
• 13:56
  that whole choreography when alexander is
• 14:00
  facing down these other guys and the way
• 14:03
  it all breaks down look at that scene again and it's like it's like operatic
• 14:09
  i mean it's it's wild and you know what i can't i keep saying this when i tell
• 14:15
  people about this movie and i talk about it on social media or whatever else
• 14:19
  or i go on stuff like this i always call it.
• 14:23
  Outrageous and I don't mean that in a bad way I mean it is
• 14:26
  outrageously action-packed and outrageously fun I mean it's so big oh yeah there's
• 14:32
  no I mean look you wouldn't want to you wouldn't want to trim it anymore like
• 14:36
  I mean I feel like this has been through you know a fairly long post-production process and.
• 14:44
  You know, there's nothing, I mean, I'm looking at my notes and usually after
• 14:49
  you watch a movie, you sort of sit back in.
• 14:51
  You know, there's nothing that I would, there's no scene that I would say that was not essential.
• 14:57
  Thank you. I mean, there's nothing that, oh, you know, sometimes you watch a
• 15:01
  movie and you go, well, that bit in the middle could have been trimmed.
• 15:05
  But anyway, listen, look, I'm a writer. I love dialogue.
• 15:09
  So my favourite scene, which I have to talk about since I got both of you here,
• 15:13
  is what I call the coffee scene.
• 15:16
  The two of you. That's a good one.
• 15:19
  Drinking coffee. Because the big scene stealer in the film, and one of my favourite
• 15:24
  performances, is her name, Titiana Naver?
• 15:29
  That's right. As La Apparition.
• 15:35
  Ellen T. Yes. She was absolutely incredible. She's got my favorite line,
• 15:40
  and kudos to your ever-faithful scribe, Craig Hammond.
• 15:46
  My favorite line in the movie is, I didn't expect to find coffee this fine in this godforsaken hell.
• 15:55
  That was my favorite line of the movie where she's like, yeah,
• 16:00
  I didn't expect to find coffee this fine in this godforsaken hell. It's a good one.
• 16:07
  That's a good line that's a button line that should be on a t-shirt or at least
• 16:13
  the slogan of my coffee shop when I open one you just gave me a great idea Kent
• 16:18
  for my next run of t-shirts,
• 16:21
  I'll do that and I'll send you one thank you for your compliment for Tatiana
• 16:27
  she will be very happy to hear thank you very much like I said to you she needs like her own film.
• 16:35
  It's kind of like a western version of Red Sonja, and you turn up like Arnold did, like Callaghan.
• 16:41
  Exactly. Because, yeah, who doesn't? Look, put it this way, she's the character
• 16:47
  that turned up that I was the most intrigued with, because.
• 16:50
  She's obviously got a history, a lot of backstory, which is...
• 16:55
  And she's also singing in the movie.
• 16:58
  It's her singing the title song in the end.
• 17:01
  It's her. Oh, that's awesome. Okay. Yes, it's her. Oh, wonderful. Well, there you go.
• 17:08
  That's her song. And again, thank you. Thank you for the compliment. And one more thing.
• 17:15
  I'm glad that you like the movie, but let me give Joe another compliment.
• 17:20
  Because he's very open-minded. And when I say open-minded, what you mentioned,
• 17:24
  you mentioned the length of the movie, right?
• 17:27
  Because movie is about 82 minutes or something like that with titles.
• 17:31
  And it's our third movie together.
• 17:35
  And you're always telling me, like, Alexander, we should make film run longer
• 17:42
  because Promise is a great film which he made before Gunfight at Rio Bravo.
• 17:46
  Promise is about two hours and it's a great film. and great drama. You got that on DVD.
• 17:53
  Exactly. It's out there, and it's popular.
• 17:57
  But we had these conversations, and Joe agreed that because we're making it
• 18:03
  more action-y, as you said, it's basically a different formula.
• 18:08
  And again, he could have told me, you know what, Alexander? No.
• 18:12
  Let's just at least have 90 or 92 minutes or 93 minutes, because of course we had more.
• 18:19
  Yeah, we had more. Those things that you like, and I like, Coffee City,
• 18:24
  it was three times longer.
• 18:26
  It was three times longer, you know. But Joe supported me with that idea.
• 18:32
  And I think that's another reason why this movie also works well as an action film.
• 18:38
  An action film. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 18:41
  Like that, you know. You know, it's what's beautiful about what you've created with this series.
• 18:48
  It is the best of the classical Western meets the contemporary action film.
• 18:54
  And it doesn't kind of, the beauty is the balance, right?
• 18:59
  It's not too heavily a classical Western with action scenes in it.
• 19:04
  And it's not an action movie with a Western flavour.
• 19:08
  It's a blend of the two. And that's tough to do. and you continue to do it successfully.
• 19:13
  So it's very exciting to see where, I mean, I know you're just coming off filming
• 19:20
  another West and this film, of course, ends with James Bond-ish thing, Your Hero Will Return.
• 19:28
  Talking about the heroes of Rio Bravo. But yeah, Joe, I have to say about your performance too.
• 19:35
  As I said, Alex, I thought the deepest I've ever seen.
• 19:39
  You went into Robert Shaw territory there for a little bit with the,
• 19:44
  I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget, the battle, the sunken road battle.
• 19:51
  Yeah. We had full split against the Greybacks. jacks
• 19:55
  there were 5 000 dead bodies on that
• 19:58
  road you know it made me think of the the indianapolis
• 20:02
  speech you know thanks for the robert shaw compliment i take
• 20:05
  that that's a that's quite coming from you it's
• 20:08
  something else i love it yeah he's got
• 20:11
  black eyes lifeless eyes that was fantastic
• 20:17
  that was i'll never put on a life jacket again that was a great another great
• 20:22
  that's why the coffee scene is one of my favorites sort of everything turns
• 20:25
  up it's got alex's like i think there's moments of silence in that scene alex
• 20:30
  where you're sort of just you look like you're leaning back a little bit you're
• 20:34
  resting your arms on your knees.
• 20:36
  And there's some looks that you give joe while you're listening to him that
• 20:40
  is just i mean it's good james lipton often used to talk about on the actor's
• 20:46
  studio the the the power some actors Actors can't do silence.
• 20:52
  He talked about Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, some actors that really do silence really well.
• 20:58
  They can sit there and you can see the wheels turning.
• 21:02
  You can see something going on behind the eyes. They're not just standing there
• 21:05
  staring off laconically into the distance doing nothing.
• 21:08
  And that's a great power you both have on screen and a great chemistry both of you carry. Thank you.
• 21:14
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 21:17
  What a triumphant, splendiferous, you know, it's action, it's Western.
• 21:25
  If it were a cereal, I'd eat it every morning and twice on Sundays for good measure.
• 21:31
  It is out right now. What is the streaming service called that is playing for free now on?
• 21:37
  It's in North America. It was just released in North America exclusively on Zoom or Play.
• 21:43
  Zoom or Play. Yes. Yes, it's free. It's free with ads.
• 21:48
  It's a new Tubi. I don't know if you know what Tubi is.
• 21:52
  And Tubi started this AVOD business when you can watch movies,
• 21:58
  studio movies, independent movies for free with ads.
• 22:01
  And when 20th century, at the time, 20th century pops, now it's 20th century,
• 22:06
  when they bought Tubi and started to push it, that's when NBCUniversal bought
• 22:12
  Zumo Play, and now it's part of NBCUniversal.
• 22:16
  It's about 30 million people, subscribers watching it.
• 22:20
  So we just gave them exclusive for three months and it's on Zoom or Play in
• 22:26
  the United States and Canada.
• 22:28
  And in three months, on November 1st, it will be on Video On Demand,
• 22:33
  on DVD, on all the digital platforms to rent and buy in the United States.
• 22:39
  But movies already released internationally in for example united kingdom it's

  And by the way, by the way, let me congratulate you because I know that your
• 23:15
  new movie will be released in North America soon as well. That's over, right? Yes.
• 23:20
  Yeah, I was very shocked because I didn't think it was ever going to get a release
• 23:26
  because this was a film made at the end of 2020.
• 23:29
  It was October, November 2020, so it's been sitting there for a while now.
• 23:34
  Yeah, glad to see I I've, I've heard DVD and Blu-ray, so that'll be cool.
• 23:40
  I've never had something great Blu-ray before.
• 23:42
  And this is action horror, right? It's an action horror with Michael. Right.
• 23:46
  Michael, para vampire vampires.
• 23:49
  And yeah, there's some actually some really great, okay.
• 23:52
  I'm, I'm interested to see because he actually shot in a castle there that's
• 23:55
  up in Northern California and there's some wonderful.
• 24:00
  Natural cabins or something that's up in that part of the territory too and so yeah it's um.
• 24:08
  I i i guess i'm i'm just the same as you guys i mean you work on these things
• 24:14
  in in one capacity or another it's still a thrill at the end of the day to sit
• 24:19
  down and see how everybody's work how everyone who's contributed has put it
• 24:24
  all together and and see the end result hey.
• 24:27
  And I think all three of us we all
• 24:30
  really can show your audience that this
• 24:35
  all achievable it's achievable all
• 24:39
  your dreams can be achievable one way or another but you have to continue to
• 24:44
  push forward you know and that's what I have in common with Joe and that's what
• 24:48
  we have in common with you you know because it doesn't matter what's going on
• 24:53
  around us we'll continue to push forward,
• 24:56
  And we'll continue to enjoy ourselves on screen and movies of our friends on screen.
• 25:03
  And I hope we'll continue to push that positive message into the world.
• 25:09
  Yeah, no, it's all attainable. Persistence is the key.
• 25:14
  I mean, there's plenty of people that put a lot of effort in and fail or they
• 25:19
  don't see a payoff after a certain amount of time and they give up.
• 25:24
  I think that you have to adjust your goals as you go up the mountain because
• 25:31
  there's certain fences you just can't climb over by yourself.
• 25:34
  If you want to get somewhere fast,
• 25:36
  go alone. But if you want to go the farthest, you need to go together.
• 25:41
  You need a good team, good friends, good mates, and good experienced people
• 25:47
  to help you grow, learn, build.
• 25:49
  And you gentlemen have been tremendous friends and mentors to me and I continue
• 25:56
  to be thrilled and love your work so much.
• 26:00
  I'm happy to bring it to the audience.
• 26:03
  Australian audiences, do not despair.
• 26:05
  Taken from Rio Bravo and all the wonderful stuff that Alex Senefsky and Joe
• 26:10
  Cornett have out there in the world will be coming your way in one way or another.
• 26:16
  But as for right now you can you can watch it we will put the link in the description
• 26:22
  north american physical media release later in the year for all of us yes good
• 26:28
  luck gentlemen may all the success continue keep the the trilogy going i can't
• 26:34
  wait to see this new one what's
• 26:36
  the new one called the wild wild west the wild west alexander would you like
• 26:40
  this because Because it's a very, you're not going to, you, you have, you.
• 26:44
  You ain't seen nothing yet. Okay. Wow. What I think we should do in the end
• 26:51
  of the show, Joe should talk to you about his new book.
• 26:54
  Because we're in production of New Western, and of course we'll tell you everything
• 26:57
  when it's done, and it's super unusual, whatever.
• 27:00
  But Joe finished his new book. Joe, please tell a couple of words about your
• 27:05
  new book. Thank you, Alex.
• 27:07
  Okay, so I have a book coming out in the next month or two,
• 27:12
  and it is it is an
• 27:16
  omnibus of western tales oh
• 27:19
  okay and it's actually there's a
• 27:22
  novelized version of my first western feature-length screenplay which was called
• 27:29
  the prayer for the damned as you may recall that film right yes and so this
• 27:33
  is a this is a completely fresh approach to that it's very different from the
• 27:38
  movie so if you're familiar with the movie.
• 27:40
  Some people are some people love that movie but if
• 27:44
  you're familiar with the movie it's it takes a lot
• 27:47
  of deep dark twisted turns in the
• 27:49
  book version plus it's accompanied
• 27:52
  by four or five i can't remember now how many short stories that are also maybe
• 27:59
  loosely based on screen ideas i've had over the years or you know something
• 28:04
  i dashed off in one of my journal books and thought oh this is It's a good story.
• 28:09
  Anyway, they're all very interesting tales.
• 28:11
  Some of them are kind of creepy and mysterious and weird, and others are very
• 28:17
  traditional in the Western sense.
• 28:20
  So I think if you're a Western fan or not, you're going to enjoy this book.
• 28:25
  And it's called A Prayer for the Damned and Other Tales of the West. And I was lucky enough.
• 28:31
  Sadly, he has left us. But one of the last things my great legendary friend
• 28:38
  and sort of mentor Don Murray did for me was he wrote the forward,
• 28:44
  the introduction to my book.
• 28:46
  Splendid. And so we've included that in it as well.
• 28:51
  And in fact, I was just at a tribute to Don about a week or so ago where we had a bus stop.
• 28:57
  And I was Don's last director, if you remember.
• 29:01
  Yes. Probably. Anyway, what a thrill it was knowing that man.
• 29:06
  But he does the intro to my book. So that's kind of fun. There you are.
• 29:10
  Splendid. And where will that be available, Joe? Amazon and all the regular
• 29:14
  places? It should be all the usual suspects. It should be available on Amazon.
• 29:18
  It'll be available in a hardback, in a paperback.
• 29:24
  I'm told a Kindle. It will also have an audio book. Oh, okay.
• 29:28
  Are you narrating your own work?
• 29:32
  Nobody has asked me yet, Kent. Okay. But, you know, maybe I'll parade it.
• 29:38
  I mean, you're a good actor.
• 29:40
  I mean, you know, why hire someone else, I mean, to tell your own stories, man?
• 29:44
  Exactly. Thank you. I mean, if you wanted to sell a lot, of course, I'd say get a celebrity.
• 29:53
  But I mean, everyone's doing it.
• 29:56
  But yeah, that's great. So audio, paperback, hardcover, Kindle.
• 30:03
  Is there an official? I don't have an official release date yet,
• 30:08
  but it'll be sometime in the next month or two.
• 30:10
  Okay. All right. So possibly before October or the fall, as you call it over there?
• 30:17
  If everything comes together, yes. That's what I'm told.
• 30:21
  There you go. Check it out. Wow.
• 30:25

• 30:29
  be wearing a suit or something.
