JOHN: Why don't I introduce you? So we're at end. When Phil and I first got involved working with PLI, we learned very quickly PLI has a secret. I'll let you in on it. You always put the ethics presentation last. Why? Because people have to stay to the end, because everyone wants and needs ethics credit. But we've always, in addition to-- one thing we've wanted to do with the ethics credit is, in addition to generating ethics credit for you, to make ...
