What else is new? 201 00:11:05,371 --> 00:11:07,370 I'm trying to get hold of him, but he's not answering his phone. 202 00:11:07,371 --> 00:11:09,370 Again, nothing new there. He hasn't been in. 203 00:11:09,371 --> 00:11:11,371 Have you tried his place? Well no, because I realised 204 00:11:11,372 --> 00:11:13,490 I actually don't know where he lives. 205 00:11:15,371 --> 00:11:17,370 But if you could tell me, that would be most helpful. 206 00:11:17,371 --> 00:11:20,039 No, sorry! Neither! Can't help you. 207 00:11:20,206 --> 00:11:21,370 Can't or won't? Can't. 208 00:11:21,371 --> 00:11:24,370 Woody's a 'no fixed abode' kind of guy. 209 00:11:24,371 --> 00:11:26,370 His living arrangements are a mystery to one and all. 210 00:11:26,371 --> 00:11:30,370 Actually, I think you'll find he's staying at the Baylisses' batch. 211 00:11:30,371 --> 00:11:31,371 Great. Where's that? 212 00:11:31,372 --> 00:11:33,370 Although they're coming back early, so he might have moved on. 213 00:11:33,371 --> 00:11:34,371 He'll be at the Tates'. 214 00:11:34,371 --> 00:11:35,371 OK... Or the Van der Klerks'. 215 00:11:35,372 --> 00:11:36,873 No, the Tremaines'. 216 00:11:37,371 --> 00:11:40,371 So he house-sits? Sits. Squats. Why do you want him? 217 00:11:41,371 --> 00:11:43,372 Well, Woody dumped a ridiculous invoice on my desk and ran away, 218 00:11:43,539 --> 00:11:45,657 it needs to be discussed. Challenged? 219 00:11:45,706 --> 00:11:47,371 Explained would be a start. 220 00:11:48,873 --> 00:11:50,285 You alright there, Bill? 221 00:11:51,371 --> 00:11:52,371 He's pining for his daughter. 222 00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:55,370 You are welcome to take Lindsay home any time you like. 223 00:11:55,371 --> 00:11:57,370 No, no. She made her bed, she can lie in it. 224 00:11:57,371 --> 00:11:59,370 That bed being in my house. You invited her to stay, George. 225 00:11:59,371 --> 00:12:01,039 Not in so many words! 226 00:12:01,206 --> 00:12:04,370 Maybe it's time to get a bigger house, George. I'll keep an eye out. 227 00:12:04,371 --> 00:12:05,371 With Woody's invoice, 228 00:12:05,372 --> 00:12:07,370 I'm unlikely to be able to afford a bigger house, thanks, Monty. 229 00:12:07,371 --> 00:12:09,370 You're hurting... I understand. 230 00:12:09,371 --> 00:12:12,370 Woody was doing some work for Katie at her gallery. You could try there. 231 00:12:12,371 --> 00:12:13,666 Well why didn't you... 232 00:12:31,371 --> 00:12:33,370 He was here... two days ago? 233 00:12:33,371 --> 00:12:37,370 He dropped off some materials, but he's yet to actually start. 234 00:12:37,371 --> 00:12:38,371 Hardly surprising. 235 00:12:38,371 --> 00:12:39,371 Something the matter? 236 00:12:39,372 --> 00:12:42,539 Well, he just sprung a rather large invoice on me and then disappeared. 237 00:12:42,706 --> 00:12:46,370 You've been "Woody'd". Woody'd? 238 00:12:46,371 --> 00:12:49,039 Where he forgets and forgets and forgets and then it all adds up. 239 00:12:49,206 --> 00:12:50,370 Possibly. Although, "taken for a ride" 240 00:12:50,371 --> 00:12:53,370 is another term that springs to mind. 241 00:12:53,371 --> 00:12:55,370 George! You're his friend. 242 00:12:55,371 --> 00:12:57,370 You know it's not in his nature to rip anyone off. 243 00:12:57,371 --> 00:12:59,370 This is about business, friendship's got nothing to do with it. 244 00:12:59,371 --> 00:13:02,370 Things are never just about business - in my experience. 245 00:13:02,371 --> 00:13:04,370 I'm not questioning his friendship, 246 00:13:04,371 --> 00:13:06,370 just his ability to quantify his billing, that's all. 247 00:13:06,371 --> 00:13:09,370 Do you know where he lives? Lives or stays? 248 00:13:09,371 --> 00:13:13,371 Either or. No. I've never needed to know. 249 00:13:15,371 --> 00:13:17,077 You could try Tracey's place. 250 00:13:17,206 --> 00:13:18,370 He's staying there? 251 00:13:18,371 --> 00:13:20,706 He sometimes... retreats there. 252 00:13:21,371 --> 00:13:24,371 Sometimes regularly. OK, thanks. 253 00:13:40,371 --> 00:13:44,607 Woody - gone to the beach. If you need me, come find me. 254 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,772 Hi. Hi. 255 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,440 Tracey. 256 00:13:55,607 --> 00:13:57,440 Hello George. 257 00:13:57,607 --> 00:13:58,772 You seen Woody? 258 00:14:00,107 --> 00:14:01,771 I'm not sure I can answer that question... 259 00:14:01,772 --> 00:14:03,771 Well, a simple yes or no would be a good start. 260 00:14:03,772 --> 00:14:05,772 ..without you obeying the rules. 261 00:14:15,772 --> 00:14:17,771 Haven't seen him, actually. 262 00:14:17,772 --> 00:14:20,771 He was supposed to be fixing a broken trellis for me, but... 263 00:14:20,772 --> 00:14:22,772 Sounds like Woody. Overcommitted and overcharging for it. 264 00:14:23,773 --> 00:14:26,274 So it's true? What? 265 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,771 You don't want to pay his invoice. 266 00:14:27,772 --> 00:14:30,440 You know about the invoice? The kumara vine, George. 267 00:14:30,607 --> 00:14:32,770 Fiona called to ask if I'd seen him. Don't you have the money? 268 00:14:32,771 --> 00:14:34,771 No, I have the money. But you don't want to pay it? 269 00:14:34,772 --> 00:14:37,771 I didn't say that, I just need to understand it. 270 00:14:37,772 --> 00:14:39,773 I can't pay what I don't understand. Is it written in hieroglyphics? 271 00:14:39,940 --> 00:14:41,771 No, but it seems that he's being free and easy 272 00:14:41,772 --> 00:14:43,771 with the numerical system. 273 00:14:43,772 --> 00:14:46,107 How did I know I would find you here? 274 00:14:46,274 --> 00:14:47,771 Well, I thought the same thing, which is why I'm here. 275 00:14:47,772 --> 00:14:51,107 Really, there's no other reason why you might be here? 276 00:14:51,274 --> 00:14:52,771 No, I just want to understand the invoice. 277 00:14:52,772 --> 00:14:55,772 Well, it's not in code, George. 278 00:14:56,772 --> 00:14:57,772 Woody? What? 279 00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:00,772 Yeah, righto. 280 00:15:01,772 --> 00:15:03,771 40 grand for "work done" is a little bit vague. 281 00:15:03,772 --> 00:15:05,771 Well, I've done the work, so please pay me. 282 00:15:05,772 --> 00:15:06,772 I mean, it's pretty bloody clear to me. 283 00:15:06,773 --> 00:15:08,771 Yeah, but with your hourly rate, that's a lot of hours. 284 00:15:08,772 --> 00:15:12,771 You calling me a liar? No, but... 40 grand, Woody. 285 00:15:12,772 --> 00:15:13,940 Well you've never disputed my other bills! 286 00:15:14,107 --> 00:15:15,771 That's because they were all itemised! 287 00:15:15,772 --> 00:15:17,940 Exactly! Itemised down to the last screw. 288 00:15:18,107 --> 00:15:19,440 But this isn't. 289 00:15:19,607 --> 00:15:20,771 And those hours, I mean, how many of those were work, 290 00:15:20,772 --> 00:15:23,107 and how many were... Were for what? Surfing? 291 00:15:23,274 --> 00:15:24,770 I have never charged you for surfing. 292 00:15:24,771 --> 00:15:26,607 OK, OK. But I didn't keep track. 293 00:15:26,772 --> 00:15:27,772 Yeah, 'cause clients never do. 294 00:15:27,773 --> 00:15:31,771 But I do. I keep them all notated down in my little black book 295 00:15:31,772 --> 00:15:33,831 which I carry with me at all times. 296 00:15:34,107 --> 00:15:37,771 Yeah, obviously not right now, because I'm starkers, alright. 297 00:15:37,772 --> 00:15:39,771 But it's all in there. In detail. Guys! 298 00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:41,940 Maybe we should take this somewhere a little more... 299 00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:44,771 Private? Yeah, well, he's already gone public with his accusations. 300 00:15:44,772 --> 00:15:46,771 I was thinking somewhere more with clothes on. 301 00:15:46,772 --> 00:15:48,771 This feels like a 'clothes on' conversation. 302 00:15:48,772 --> 00:15:51,771 No. If George can't say what he wants naked to my face, 303 00:15:51,772 --> 00:15:54,107 then I don't want to hear it at all. Can I not question "work done"? 304 00:15:54,274 --> 00:15:56,771 Do I just have to assume that you're telling me the truth? 305 00:15:56,772 --> 00:15:58,771 You really don't trust me. Trust has nothing to do with it! 306 00:15:58,772 --> 00:15:59,773 On the subject of "work done", 307 00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:01,771 I never charged you for saving your life, 308 00:16:01,772 --> 00:16:04,771 or helping you out in times of need, nah, nah, that's just what mates do. 309 00:16:04,772 --> 00:16:06,771 Woody, this is about business. 310 00:16:06,772 --> 00:16:07,772 Well, would you feel more comfortable 311 00:16:07,773 --> 00:16:10,771 if I invoiced our friendship and we just keep it all on that level? 312 00:16:10,772 --> 00:16:11,772 Friendship has got nothing to do with it. 313 00:16:11,773 --> 00:16:13,274 Yeah, clearly, George. 314 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,771 OK boys...

The question is, should I pay? 338 00:17:18,772 --> 00:17:19,772 Have we run out of money? 339 00:17:19,773 --> 00:17:22,607 No. We have not run out of money. 340 00:17:22,772 --> 00:17:24,067 There's still no milk. 341 00:17:25,772 --> 00:17:26,772 Lindsay? 342 00:17:27,772 --> 00:17:30,771 You could always go get some yourself. 343 00:17:30,772 --> 00:17:31,772 Or, you could go to your house, 344 00:17:31,773 --> 00:17:33,440 where I'm sure there'll be plenty of milk! 345 00:17:33,607 --> 00:17:35,772 That's OK.

When your mother died, I took stock of the money situation, 357 00:18:09,772 --> 00:18:13,772 I devised a plan, and I wrote this out. 358 00:18:14,772 --> 00:18:16,771 Like a fiscal plan? Which we've stuck to. 359 00:18:16,772 --> 00:18:19,243 Which has allowed us to live the way we do. 360 00:18:19,772 --> 00:18:23,607 So as you can see, we have not run out of money. 361 00:18:24,232 --> 00:18:26,771 Yet.

There's no land involved. 418 00:21:35,772 --> 00:21:38,772 Well, I think in this case, land could mean money, Woody. 419 00:21:38,773 --> 00:21:43,771 Yeah, well, maybe if people actually said what they actually mean. 420 00:21:43,772 --> 00:21:45,772 Ooh! 421 00:21:46,772 --> 00:21:48,940 Excuse my ignorance, but what does, "He wahine..."? 422 00:21:49,107 --> 00:21:51,771 "...he whenua, ka ngaro te tangata"?

But only on a trial basis, 444 00:23:10,485 --> 00:23:12,652 even though I know you've had previous experience. 445 00:23:12,819 --> 00:23:14,316 I appreciate the offer, you're a good friend. 446 00:23:14,317 --> 00:23:18,317 No. This is business, we don't bring friendship into it. 447 00:23:20,317 --> 00:23:23,317 Can I think about it?

Many great men in history have had to go bankrupt 466 00:24:20,317 --> 00:24:22,200 before making their true wealth. 467 00:24:22,317 --> 00:24:25,317 Of course... many others have also ended up destitute in a ditch 468 00:24:25,318 --> 00:24:28,316 on the side of the road, but I'm not going to let that happen to you. 469 00:24:28,317 --> 00:24:30,316 There really is no problem. 470 00:24:30,317 --> 00:24:32,494 Don't be silly, George.

The hub of social commentary and local news. 474 00:24:53,317 --> 00:24:55,316 I take it I'm not here to place a classified. 475 00:24:55,317 --> 00:24:59,317 Work wanted? Well, you could.

But she is not a man. 481 00:25:12,317 --> 00:25:15,316 And now, nor is she available. But you? You're here. 482 00:25:15,317 --> 00:25:18,906 And frankly, there isn't anyone else who could possibly do it. 483 00:25:19,318 --> 00:25:21,316 I suppose he's got to be better than Monty. 484 00:25:21,317 --> 00:25:23,318 Not now, Gloria. Well, that's not saying much. 485 00:25:23,485 --> 00:25:26,316 Monty was completely useless. 486 00:25:26,317 --> 00:25:30,317 George Turner. Gloria Henley. 487 00:25:31,317 --> 00:25:32,317 Gloria. 488 00:25:32,317 --> 00:25:33,317 George. 489 00:25:34,317 --> 00:25:37,316 Gloria's in charge of the technical aspects of the operation. 490 00:25:37,317 --> 00:25:40,485 What Mac's trying to say is that he has no idea what I do. 491 00:25:40,652 --> 00:25:42,317 He thinks this paper gets published by accident. 492 00:25:42,318 --> 00:25:46,316 That's not true, Gloria.

Together, you are the problem. 546 00:29:02,225 --> 00:29:06,224 Which is due, largely, to the way he feels about you. 547 00:29:08,224 --> 00:29:10,892 You do know how he feels about you? Right? 548 00:29:18,059 --> 00:29:21,224 Alley-oopa! 549 00:29:22,224 --> 00:29:25,224 I have a fair idea, yeah.

No, no, no. 561 00:30:04,225 --> 00:30:06,223 I don't think it's as cut and dry as all that. 562 00:30:06,224 --> 00:30:07,695 This is Woody, after all. 563 00:30:08,224 --> 00:30:12,223 The important thing, however, is that you and him 564 00:30:12,224 --> 00:30:17,224 need to sit down and actually have that talk. 565 00:30:19,224 --> 00:30:20,401 Yeah, I guess we do. 566 00:30:24,224 --> 00:30:26,223 I still don't get how you got dragged into all this. 567 00:30:26,224 --> 00:30:28,559 Well, it all started with a discussion we were having about 568 00:30:28,726 --> 00:30:30,225 lawn care, I guess... Lawn care? 569 00:30:30,392 --> 00:30:34,225 Yeah. Well, lawn mowing? And whose job it is... 570 00:30:34,392 --> 00:30:36,224 to be precise? 571 00:30:37,224 --> 00:30:38,224 Yeah. 572 00:30:38,225 --> 00:30:40,059 And then there was a misunderstanding 573 00:30:40,224 --> 00:30:43,223 about close dancing. At the party. 574 00:30:43,224 --> 00:30:45,460 When you were telling me about the job. 575 00:30:46,224 --> 00:30:48,223 Woody thinks I'm after you? 576 00:30:48,224 --> 00:30:50,223 Yeah. And vice versa. 577 00:30:50,224 --> 00:30:53,892 No! That's not right. 578 00:30:54,224 --> 00:30:55,892 Yeah, exactly... 579 00:31:00,224 --> 00:31:02,224 Which is what I need to tell him. 580 00:31:04,224 --> 00:31:06,223 And then you need to talk to him, 581 00:31:06,224 --> 00:31:07,872 if we can find him, that is. 582 00:31:08,726 --> 00:31:12,225 He's staying at Smiler's. He is? 583 00:31:26,224 --> 00:31:29,223 The man of words. 584 00:31:29,224 --> 00:31:32,223 Smiler. Is Woody in? 585 00:31:32,224 --> 00:31:35,223 That depends. On? 586 00:31:35,224 --> 00:31:39,223 On whether you mean is he "in" the house... 587 00:31:39,224 --> 00:31:42,224 or is he "in" good spirits? 588 00:31:42,392 --> 00:31:44,726 Well... hopefully both. 589 00:31:44,892 --> 00:31:48,224 Mm. Hope is eternal, George Turner. 590 00:32:01,224 --> 00:32:03,930 I shall leave you men in peace. 591 00:32:04,059 --> 00:32:05,223 To make peace. 592 00:32:05,224 --> 00:32:07,224 With words... 593 00:32:08,059 --> 00:32:09,559 I go in peace. 594 00:32:12,059 --> 00:32:15,059 Woody. George. 595 00:32:15,224 --> 00:32:16,559 I think there's been a misunderstanding. 596 00:32:17,224 --> 00:32:19,224 Is that right? Well, it's all in there. 597 00:32:19,225 --> 00:32:21,223 Check for yourself. I'm sure it is... 598 00:32:21,224 --> 00:32:23,224 Check it. I don't have to. 599 00:32:25,224 --> 00:32:27,223 The tension about the invoice? It's actually about something else. 600 00:32:27,224 --> 00:32:29,223 Yeah, 40 grand's worth of something else. 601 00:32:29,224 --> 00:32:32,223 Someone else, then! Um, no idea what you mean. 602 00:32:32,224 --> 00:32:34,223 The lawn speech at the party, I finally got it. 603 00:32:34,224 --> 00:32:37,059 What it was actually about. Maybe it was just about a lawn. 604 00:32:37,224 --> 00:32:38,224 I don't think so. 605 00:32:38,224 --> 00:32:39,224 These bloody drills! 606 00:32:39,225 --> 00:32:42,873 They never fit back together the same after the clutch is gone. 607 00:32:43,224 --> 00:32:44,224 Woody! I've been an idiot, 608 00:32:44,225 --> 00:32:46,892 to have not seen that you clearly have strong feelings for Tracey, 609 00:32:47,059 --> 00:32:49,223 and that I may have inadvertently been treading on your toes. 610 00:32:49,224 --> 00:32:51,223 Yeah. If there was any toe-treading, George, 611 00:32:51,224 --> 00:32:54,223 that would have been with Tracey, while you were dancing with her. 612 00:32:54,224 --> 00:32:56,223 Well, strictly speaking, she was dancing with me, 613 00:32:56,224 --> 00:32:58,223 because she wanted to tell me something in confidence. 614 00:32:58,224 --> 00:33:00,892 She likes you, George! OK? You don't have to dance around it. 615 00:33:01,059 --> 00:33:03,223 And I like her. See! I knew it! 616 00:33:03,224 --> 00:33:04,224 As a friend! 617 00:33:04,225 --> 00:33:06,223 But I do not want to have any kind of relationship with her. 618 00:33:06,224 --> 00:33:08,223 Yeah, but Jan's gone. So what? 619 00:33:08,224 --> 00:33:11,223 So you're a free man, George Turner, with an eye for the ladies. 620 00:33:11,224 --> 00:33:12,224 Well, not really. And not this particular lady. 621 00:33:12,225 --> 00:33:14,223 Are you saying there's something wrong with her? 622 00:33:14,224 --> 00:33:17,223 No! God almighty, you can be frustrating sometimes. 623 00:33:17,224 --> 00:33:19,223 Amen to that. Tracey is lovely. 624 00:33:19,224 --> 00:33:22,224 But she is a friend. And having just about screwed up one friendship 625 00:33:22,225 --> 00:33:24,223 by turning it into something more, 626 00:33:24,224 --> 00:33:27,460 I'm not exactly keen to make the same mistake again. OK? 627 00:33:29,224 --> 00:33:31,392 So hang on, what are you saying? What I'm saying, Woody, 628 00:33:31,559 --> 00:33:33,892 is that I'm not a man who wants to, or would ever, 629 00:33:34,059 --> 00:33:36,223 try and mow another man's lawn. 630 00:33:36,224 --> 00:33:38,223 If, indeed, there is a lawn to be mowed here. 631 00:33:38,224 --> 00:33:41,225 It is between you and Tracey... And the lawn. 632 00:33:42,392 --> 00:33:44,334 And it has nothing to do with me. 633 00:33:47,224 --> 00:33:51,223 And you're not just saying that? I'm really not just saying that. 634 00:33:51,224 --> 00:33:53,224 I would never do that to a friend. 635 00:33:56,224 --> 00:34:00,224 Assuming we can still be friends? 636 00:34:01,224 --> 00:34:05,559 Bloody oath, mate. Come on, come here. I've missed it. 637 00:34:07,892 --> 00:34:12,223 And you know what? Forget about that stupid invoice. OK? No, no, no... 638 00:34:12,224 --> 00:34:14,223 It's not important. Friendship's bigger than money, alright? 639 00:34:14,224 --> 00:34:16,223 A debt is a debt, I will pay it. 640 00:34:16,224 --> 00:34:17,224 No. Forget it. I'm not gonna do that. 641 00:34:17,225 --> 00:34:19,184 If it's written in the book, it has to be paid. 642 00:34:19,224 --> 00:34:22,223 I don't want your money, George. What am I gonna do with 40K, anyway? 643 00:34:22,224 --> 00:34:24,872 The business, don't forget about the business. 644 00:34:26,224 --> 00:34:28,224 George, I'm not taking your money. But the business might need it. 645 00:34:29,224 --> 00:34:31,224 Is there some issue about a business that you want to raise with me? 646 00:34:32,224 --> 00:34:36,184 It's just a little venture me and Smiler are looking into. 647 00:34:36,224 --> 00:34:38,184 Involving? Solar panels. 648 00:34:38,224 --> 00:34:40,017 Yeah, but don't you worry about it. Because, you know, 649 00:34:40,184 --> 00:34:42,714 you've got enough problems, like bankruptcy. 650 00:34:43,224 --> 00:34:45,892 My finances are fine. Excellent! 651 00:34:46,017 --> 00:34:48,223 You tell me about the solar panels. Well, we're gonna sell them. 652 00:34:48,224 --> 00:34:52,223 So that people can catch the rays. Did you know, as an energy source, 653 00:34:52,224 --> 00:34:54,930 the sun has been burning for 4.5 billion years. 654 00:34:55,017 --> 00:34:58,017 That is one hell of a long life lightbulb. Right? 655 00:34:58,184 --> 00:35:01,223 And you think it's free, right? But people need a way to harness it. 656 00:35:01,224 --> 00:35:04,223 And that's where solar panels come in. Right? Come out here. 657 00:35:04,224 --> 00:35:07,017 That's where solar panels come in. Right? And, and, and, 658 00:35:07,184 --> 00:35:08,223 they're not free, George. Nup. 659 00:35:08,224 --> 00:35:12,223 OK? Someone has to sell them, install them and maintain them. 660 00:35:12,224 --> 00:35:14,224 I'm in. What do you mean? 661 00:35:15,224 --> 00:35:18,392 I'm in. If considering it a 40K investment in your business 662 00:35:18,559 --> 00:35:21,184 helps you take it, then it's a win-win. 663 00:35:24,224 --> 00:35:27,223 You are a wise man, George Turner. 664 00:35:27,224 --> 00:35:32,223 And I know I speak on behalf of Woody when he says 665 00:35:32,224 --> 00:35:35,401 he feels much better about this truly elegant solution. 666 00:35:36,224 --> 00:35:39,224 Great. I'll write a cheque as soon as I get home. 667 00:35:40,224 --> 00:35:44,222 You still use cheques? Do they not have internet banking in Australia? 668 00:35:44,223 --> 00:35:46,223 Come on, Smiler, not the internet banking thing again... 669 00:35:47,224 --> 00:35:48,224 No, no, no... 670 00:35:48,225 --> 00:35:49,225 Hello? 671 00:35:49,392 --> 00:35:53,223 Late on your first shift. Bad start. Bad look. 672 00:35:53,224 --> 00:35:54,224 What? Did we...? 673 00:35:54,225 --> 00:35:56,223 No, I need you down here now. I'm not sure if... 674 00:35:56,224 --> 00:35:59,048 Beggars can't be choosers, George. 675 00:36:06,224 --> 00:36:08,184 One Blue Lagoon. 676 00:36:09,224 --> 00:36:13,223 That is remarkably blue. That has depth. 677 00:36:13,224 --> 00:36:15,223 That is why I stick to beer. I don't want a blue liver. 678 00:36:15,224 --> 00:36:18,223 My god, that is good. 679 00:36:18,224 --> 00:36:19,225 Where have you been all my life, George? 680 00:36:19,392 --> 00:36:21,223 And a cosmopolitan for you. 681 00:36:21,224 --> 00:36:23,223 You don't normally drink here, Brenda. 682 00:36:23,224 --> 00:36:25,559 Too expensive. But I heard George was mixing, 683 00:36:25,726 --> 00:36:28,225 so I thought I'd treat myself. Enjoy. 684 00:36:28,392 --> 00:36:31,224 Do you do private parties? Excuse me, folks. 685 00:36:35,224 --> 00:36:37,224 Hi. You wanted to see me? 686 00:36:38,224 --> 00:36:40,223 I spoke with Woody.
