文章内容

Okay, well, I don't know where Eric is, but let's get started anyways. We have lots of things to discuss, but I'd like to start with where to locate our new store, so I'd like to throw this open. What do you guys think?

Well, I've been reading it open for you. We said the economy is really in a downed condition. Sorry. Oh, Eric. Yes. Well, let me recap. We were just talking about where we should open a store. Yeah. And I was saying that it's stupid to expand when the economy isn't a downturn.

I thought we already made this decision at our last meeting. Didn't you wait a minute, I sent out minutes. Why did you send them? So what do you want to do? Should we discuss this again? No!
