In the same way, by the way, that Google had a lot of different objectives. Q. But you thought that Google was negotiating in good faith, didn't you? MR. ZUROFSKY: MS. KOHLMANN: A. Objection. Objection. I think that -- that this was an There were times when intense negotiation. Google changed the terms of what it was offering, especially as different people at Google, the deal was passed to different people at Google, and at the same time, MTV Networks and really Viacom's expectations and demands for a deal changed also.
