Ms Maiden:
So they're putting it in the pack for him?
Ms Higgins:
Yes, just preparing in case he gets questions, they pre-prepare your talking points and your questions and your figures and your times and all that kind of stuff.
Ms Maiden:
And have you ever... Did you ever get to say, thank you, I'd like to see that please?
Ms Higgins:

Ms Higgins:

Ms Maiden:
Cash, yeah.
