[10:15] If the arrangement is there among yourself and their considerations and requirements, at that point there is the start of a chance. That is the thing that occurred for John. [10:33] This was an organization that was imaginative, at the crossing point of inventiveness and innovation, and it was in accordance with the work John had been doing in his startup. They saw that and in June of 2003, John was in Jeffrey's office making an arrangement to work there. It was his best Hollywood activity. He remained through 2009.
