                 (Kiri describes her
                      business connection she has from the base back to
                      Sirius where she trades her designs for wine. She
                      gets into the comparable price those designs would
                      be in dollars and where that wine comes from on
                      Sirius.)
 
 
 Nicole: Kiri,
                                  why do you compare the price of
                                  something with cases of wine all the
                                  time?
 
 Kiri: because that’s the only way I
                                  can work it out is that when I send
                                  off the material or rather when I
                                  finish a completed outfit, they pay me
                                  in wine which I trade for other
                                  things.
 
 Nicole: who pays you?
 
 Kiri: well I’ve got a dealer back on
                                  Sirius who takes a percentage.
 
 Nicole: alright.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Nicole: because if we do something
                                  with this…..
 
 Kiri: uh-huh.
 
 Nicole: like I told you…..
 
 Kiri: it was Tia’s idea.
 
 Nicole: all right but whatever, if
                                  this gets all like into operating….
 
 Kiri: yeah.
 
 Nicole: you and....I'm sorry, Mark and
                                  Russell are getting a percentage.
 
 Kiri: uh-huh, what is it? Tia says
                                  that it was 30/70?
 
 Nicole: yeah something like that.
 
 Kiri: yeah a 30/70 split. Okay
                                  that's.....
 
 Nicole: 70 for me, 15 for for you and
                                  Mark.
 
 Kiri: that’s 15 each.
 
 Russ: works for me, I hope you’re a
                                  millionaire babe.
 
 Kiri: I think she’s going to make a
                                  million.
 
 John: and I hope I'm just a ham
                                  sandwich in the whole project.
 
 Russ: we may get some wine out of it
                                  too.
 
 Kiri: uh-huh you see I mean I enjoy
                                  designing swimsuits and I do it for
                                  pleasure. The fact that I get cases of
                                  wine, it runs at about case and a
                                  half, two cases depending on the
                                  design for each swimsuit which would
                                  be about how much in your currency
                                  Russ?
 
 Russ: $220.00.
 
 Kiri: see?
 
 John: yeah, 12 bottles to a case?
 
 Kiri: uh-huh.
 
 John: how many bottles to a case,
                                  twelve?
 
 Kiri: yeah twelve.
 
 John: am I correct?
 
 Kiri: twelve average unless I’m going
                                  for something special if I want a
                                  particular vintage and and then it’s
                                  normally six to a case.
 
 Russ: now if it’s a less expensive
                                  wine........now we’re talking Sirian
                                  claret.
 
 Kiri: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: $120 a case, a hundred bucks
                                  minimum.
 
 Kiri: yeah.
 
 John: okay.
 
 Russ: it's the good stuff.
 
 Kiri: well it comes from the Dolle
                                  region…
 
 John: okay, now totally separate, what
                                  about doing a swap?
 
 Kiri: a swap of what?
 
 John: I'll give you some wine and you
                                  give me some of your wine.
 
 Russ: well....
 
 Kiri: we'll I'd like to.......
 
 John: I’ll leave a case of wine at a
                                  designated area…..
 
 Kiri: I would love to but I wouldn’t
                                  get the clearance. It comes under
                                  frivolous usage which I have gotten
                                  into trouble in the past for and so
                                  has Karra.
 
 (for a quick trip they made to Sirius)
 
 Russ: yeah.
 
 Kiri: Tia is the only one that hasn’t
                                  gotten into trouble for it.
 
 Nicole: unbelievable.
 
 Kiri: uh-huh. Okay, any more
                                  questions?
 
 Russ: who’s on next?
 
 Kiri: Tia.
 
 Russ: no, no more questions.
 
 John: no more for me.
 
 Kiri: okay.
 
 Nicole: see you later Kiri.
 
 Kiri: take care.
