Oh, you're too smart, just take a break. Yeah, okay, one of those three. And we really emphasize, sometimes I use a cell phone.

You know, I make sure it's off. Why? I need the...

Just calm down. Yeah, I need the... I'm kidding, I love it, I love it.

He's my son, I really enjoy it. Okay, dark screen, emptiness, and then this is dependent origination. So, we use that in DCI.

You can use a coin, but I think coins are going to go out of business now. Like paper, I always thought paper would be around and I chose a pen because everyone used pens all the time and now nobody uses a pen. It's very frustrating.

Okay, so two sides of the same coin. In the lion's dance, when do you flip this coin? Huh?

Yeah, good. After you... Exactly.
