DON BRADLEY You're seeing Phil Watson at twelve o'clock about the display unit design. Do you understand the problem?
EDWARD GREEN No, I don't.
DON BRADLEY These are the rough designs. Choosing the
right colours is very important.
EDWARD GREEN Sorry, could you explain what you mean?
DON BRADLEY Well, we need different colours.

impact. It's very important. It must look right for the launch.
