0:14.1

You're not who I signed up for.

0:16.2

What do you say to the client that comes in that only wants to speak with you and doesn't want to speak with anybody else?

0:24.4

Well, so I do talk to clients. I still take calls. I'll still manage their cases if I need to, but I usually have an honest conversation with them and it kind of goes something like this.

You ever been to the doctor? Of course.

0:38.2

Yeah, you never had any procedure done or anything serious. Of course.

When you walked in to the doctor's office. Well, before that, you had to make an appointment. Right. Sure.
