Ma'am, I'm actually going to have to take that one back for the record. You don't have to. I actually have it. It's the DOD report on this, and the answer is Express Scripts cost 12.5% more than the retail pharmacy when you put them all together, how— on the generic drugs 30-day supply. So I want to dig just a little bit into how that could happen, because the way you described the business model, it shouldn't be able to happen.
