There is this, uh, this folder, the (name) and you know, uh, this is…. the (name again) right, but this isn’t in,, in,, in,, in our new database. It’s before we did this. The old database. So what I’m uhhh…. Uhhhh… what I’m goingtodoisjustgive you this. It’s 39199. Inside the,,, the,,, the folder. The (document name) right? It’s wrong. It’s something else, it’s uh. For another thing.

I’m sorry, it’s all so complicated I know.”
