We'll be at the house by seven.

So they come to my house.

The four main ones came to the house.

Plato was the first one in.

I imagine this 80 year old, six foot two, 280 pound mean old man.

He comes in and I said, good morning, Plato.

And he said, you stupid son of a bitch.

Take the deal like that.

I said, take the deal.

You're the one that told me not to take the deal.

You're the one who told me we're going to go to trial and win this thing.

And he says, I only told you that to keep your spirits up.

And then the second one, his partner, Bob Trout, a sweet guy.

gentleman, a Southern gentleman.

He says, if you were my own brother, I would beg you to take this deal.

And I'm like, now what do I do?

And then the third, who was the guy, Mark McDougal, one of the best attorneys I've ever encountered in my life.

And the one that I liked and respected the most out of all of them, I liked all of them and respected all of them, but I felt a connection to this guy.

He pulls me aside.

He was a little bit angry and he said, you know what your problem is?
