It's okay with me.
We did it at 115 time journeys.
And by the way, it went from 16 to 24 the first day.
So it was a very successful deal.
And that deal, for lack of a better way to describe it, put me on a map.
The most important thing of all was he was a man who when you delivered it to him and you kept your word, he never forgot it.
So he became perhaps my staunchest advocate.
I was a young kid, 33.
I never done it underwrite.

all through his life, and now with his family as well.
That's it.
Man, the man was maniacal about keeping his word.
And the second thing would be loyalty.
If you promised to and delivered for it,
You never forget.
And this will be it.
Let me tell you where that came from.
That came from my experiences as a poor kid when I realized if somebody expected this of me, I gave him that plus something.
And to me, the art of negotiating is not see who best who.
