00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Looks like you're rope Creek without a off Devon the meeting,

114
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Sorry Devon, he snapped that, this is me coming on.

115
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: Sorry Devon, We'll just have to cut off there.

116
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: My client is unfortunately suffering it a nervous breakdown, hungover,

117
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: and Devon's hung off.

118
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's not how the call went. The call

119
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: ended with me saying, why.

120
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: Did we practice the call? You've already done?

121
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: Because actually, sorry, that was next week's care. I hope

122
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: it goes better than that, sure, I hope they buy

123
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: the line. What I'm teaching your Jess is about leverage.

124
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: Now in that negation, learning with now. I probably didn't

125
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: use Arla Fisher and Sasha Baron Kahn well enough then,

126
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: because it would have been great to have Arla Fisher

127
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 3: on the phone or even someone impersonating her to talk to, Actually, Devon.

128
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Do you need me to do the role of Devon

129
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: and Isla too much? Do you want to call Kate?

130
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: She knows Isla, doesn't she?

131
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: No?

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: I thought Kate could play the role of Isla in

133
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: our role.

134
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,360
