( Why are you pleased) Sort through our problems now. (What would you like to happen now?) I have no idea. (What would you like to see happen now?) Well, just sort of get to the bottom of it. (Are you pleased?) Yes, I suppose so, yeah.

(Do you think it's going to help the company? Do you think it's going to help the bank?) I don't think it will have any effect.
