Interview:      Blake

Larry:        Interview

Saly:        ບົດສຳພາດ

Eliz:          So you were looking forward to meeting Mr. Chapman?

Blake:       Yes.  I had worked out many of the details of the agreement with Dave Gomez.

Eliz:          Uh-huh.

Blake:       But I knew that Mr. Chapman would make the final decision.

                  After my experience with Advanced Technologies, I was a bit worried.

Eliz:          Because Advanced Technologies decided not to buy your robots?

Blake:       Yes, Mike Epstein loved our robots, but his boss, Shirley Graham, made the final decision.

                  Still, I was fairly confident.

Eliz:          Mr. Blake, thank you for talking to us today.

Blake:       My pleasure.
