Everything all-right?
Just peachy.
We are on schedule, are we not?
Oh, you did not hire me for my social graces.
That’s right, we hired you for your reputation. You better live up to it. Where are we?

I am beginning to feel that our friends here maybe some kind of strange orphew to the keotoa family (??)
Keotoa family. And to think that I was starting to worry.

So, this is not good.
