Eventually it turns out to be something very special because it's not overwhelmed with the numbers, you know, you know? And you really get to know each other better. And the most important thing, that they trust you, you know? And that's why you don't have to have any scare techniques or stuff like that, you know? Just be comfortable. If you don't find it working for you, maybe this other person can help, you know? Which happens, you know? I had a girl from Yugoslavia two years ago. I have no idea what the hell was all about. I have absolutely no idea what she's doing. I think she knew what she was doing. I couldn't, I just couldn't. So I finally said, 'Why don't you go and see so-and-so'. So, so-and-so took her around and the relationship was better, it was good, you know? And she not only, she actually wins first prize in New York. They give an award every year. Then she goes out there and she wins first prize, you know? And at the same time, I did well for her by not forcing or telling her, 'You're stupid', you know? No, go to Bob, I think that he can help you. And as long as you have this relationship, it's healthy. That's healthy. But don't try to be a giant, you know? No, you're not a giant.
