I love your attitude, but I'm struggling to see how this quarter will not be horrible. So I hope to have egg on my face in the morning. To begin with, I think we're saddled with a $10 million loss from the fight against Sarissa over the proxy. Then, it's the notoriously First Quarter blues, when the excuse of deductibles being unmet seems to work to our detriment. Then, it seems that scripts were particularly sluggish in the quarter and we had to contend with three holidays. And then there was the obscene payout to the previous board. Doesn't that have to be recorded in this quarter? All of this, I think, adds up to a loss of $20 million to $30 million. So any loss less than that will have me doing headstands.
