     1        please.  Can you just play it for a second?  You said that
     2        you did not actually -- you were not actually present at
     3        the opening; you saw it on a video screen, or something?
     4        A.  Well, this piece -----
     5
     6   Q.   Is that where you were, this place, and then you saw it?
     7        A.  I cannot tell for sure where that is, but I think it
     8        was in an auditorium.  I was in an auditorium, not at the
     9        restaurant in Dale City, Virginia, when the event
    10        I described took place.  I watched what happened on -- from
    11        the restaurant on a large screen; whether it was here or
    12        not, I cannot recall; but I did watch it on a big screen.
    13
    14   Q.   So, you watched it on a screen.  Was it intermingled with
    15        bits like this with dancing, and what have you?
    16        A.  I do not think so.
    17
    18   Q.   OK.  It does not matter too much anyway.  If we carry on.
    19        If you could fast forward it, please, to about 11.26,
    20        I think it was.

    22   MR. MORRIS:  This is the restaurant, yes, the 10,000th
    23        restaurant?
    24        A.  I think so, yes.
    25
    26                       (Video film fast forwarded)
    27
    28   MS. STEEL:   If you could play it from there.
    29
    30                 (Video film continued to be played)
    31
    32   MS. STEEL:  This is what is referred to in your statement:  Mike
    33        Quinlan coming up to speak; yes?
    34        A.  Yes.
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  Can we turn the sound up a little bit?
    37
    38                 (Video film continued to be played)
    39
    40   MS. STEEL:   If you could stop it, please.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you going to show any more of the video?
    43
    44   MS. STEEL:   No, I was not going to.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause a moment.  Yes?
    47
    48   MS. STEEL:  The video said that it was live by satellite in the
    49        top left-hand corner from time to time, so that would have
    50        been the one that you saw, would it not? 
    51        A.  I was in the audience where what I saw was coming via 
    52        some kind of satellite, yes. 
    53
    54   Q.   Right.  You said in your statement that, "An earlier
    55        example of worldwide distribution was in 1987 on the
    56        occasion of the opening of the 10,000th restaurant in Dale
    57        City, Virginia.  Mike Quinlan, the Company's then
    58        President, rose to make an address to the audience and as
