Just like us tearing up a script and throwing the the pieces at the sobbing writers. Yeah. Dipping the script in hot water and then throwing it at them. Yeah. I guess it serves us right for just hiring a bunch of poets from the fine writing programs. Yeah. They don't always give us what we want. It's always much too It's always about them. It's always about them. But we're working on it. That's why we need some understudies, because Yeah. We can't read this all the time. Yeah. To show them that there's some I got it.
