You don't get a pass, ever. So, we will find a way, either we'll go back and ask for more money, we'll all pitch in enough resources, we'll hire outside counsel, whatever it takes.

We are prepared to go either course: to not act if that's what we determine, or to go all in if that's what we determine.
