asylum at someplace.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That kid represents a million dollar gross, of which you
get ten percent, of which I get a whole lot
less than that. He's divided up a half a dozen ways, Rosie.
Some of the holders are very influential parties. One of
the parties in particular, wouldn't like it if anything happened
to make the money stop coming in. A party's name
is a secret. But I'm going to tell it to you, Rosie,
(19:51):
because you've been around and you appreciate this.
