I don't know how to tell you this, but
Well, we've been friends for a long time.
We've worked together through some tough times.
And
and
We've celebrated the good times.
But
well, I really don't know how to tell you this
But the bank's got to take the place.
We've stood by you, we've waited as long as we could
It's okay, Bill.
But it's just something we've got to do.
Bill, it's all been taken care of.
