John PillingGUEST
So you can cut the costs there.
John PillingGUEST
I don't give any options on that particular line except color.

John PillingGUEST
I will.

Let me show you what one minute.

I bet you now that I've mentioned it, they'll be gone within a few months because they're hard to find.

Matt DevineGUEST
