Basi: “Um, that uh, we have t’ make changes and y’know, uh, um, we can draft it anyway we want now, right: so…”

Clark: “Whose, wh’, whose hands is it in?”

Basi: “It’s, it’s in our hands right now.”

Clark: “Okay.”

Basi: “Uh, and then it’ll go back to transportation. And then they’ll look at it and then they’ll uh, um, issue the official RFP.”

Clark: “Okay. What are the time lines like?”

Basi: “Uh, two weeks.”

Basi: “So, I can sit on this thing for two weeks. So if you come back next week then you can take it and look at it, show it to them. They can, they can, y’know, change some of the words around, that’s obviously, some buzz words they wanna see in there, right?”

Clark: “Yeah.”

Basi: “And these, these companies know how to, how to, y’know, get the fluff out of this shit and how to tailor it to themselves, right?”

Clark: “Of course.”

Clark: “Wonder, wonder if it would be better if you got it couriered from here or not?”

Basi: “I don’t care. Whatever you want. I don’t care.”

Clark: “Okay, well maybe I’ll get you to courier it to Europe for me, or something.”

Basi: “You want me to courier it to Europe?”

Clark: “Sure, you could do that.”

Clark: “Or uh, or, or can it be faxed or something or?”

Basi: “Oh it can be faxed, yeah. Do you wanna give me a fax, secure fax number?”

Clark: “Yeah, I’ll get you a secure fax number and we can do it that way.”

Basi: “Yeah, you get me a fax number and I’ll fax it to you.

Clark: “Sounds great my friend.”
