Documentary Director: I think you know what we're trying to accomplish here. We're making a documentary that shows John is gonna be able to lead this team and lead you to levels of greatness in the world of wrestling that we haven't seen before. And, talk about that, but use some of those terms that he likes like excellent and intensity and validation.

David Schultz: [laughs to himself] All right. Well, John du Pont... Say that again? I'm sorry. Can you ask me that question again?
