Doctor, thank you so much for joining us on the line.

How are you this morning and what do you know about this spill?

I'm following closely the oil spill, of course, with extreme sadness, but hopefully they will manage to contain as much as they can.

And I came in with the four characters and myself, and we saw a stampede.
