You go and talk to them.

I'll go short.

I went up there.

I met Jerry Solovey.

I saw this incredible second floor parlor room on Fifth Avenue.

You know, I was like, I was shaking.

And believe it or not, we connected.

He took me to meet Joe Ronchetti, the president of Elizabeth Allen in those days, a day later.

And on a shake hand, I swear, on a shake hand, without contract, 20% on sales, he said to me, you can have a little room on the second floor in the parlor room.

And we have 13 locations all over America.

If you like, you could travel and do your thing.

And I became, you know, the Frenchman with his strong cases meeting the who's who of America.

Yeah.

That's made me start what's going back to the beginning, how I got to...

Sorry.

You know, I mean, I wanted to discover America.

But why Guatemala?

Yeah.

Guatemala was purely because I wanted to go.
