He might have something to say about that. All right, Curry. 350 00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:13,540 Rollins, they didn't get him to talk. 351 00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:15,500 How is Romeo doing? 352 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,980 Look, he's a kid, but he'll be ready. 353 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,900 Well, let's hope so.
