>> We're trying to promote local agriculture and trying to put an organic farm on the White House lawn.
>> How long have you been here for?
>> We've been here since July 4th, so, a full week. We're breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest time cueing for a product release.
>> This guy's not even going to get an iPhone and he's still in line. Sir, how long have you been waiting here for?
>> Been here like over night. I mean I didn't want to, you know, take from everybody that's putting their time. I just want to come up, see everybody.
>> Hey, so what do you guys feel like the general feeling is right now? One hour left.
>> iPhone mania.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I know that you guys are talking earlier about being a little protective of your space here. What space do you think is allocated for you guys?
>> We'll just stay in front of our two chairs here.
>> This nice 3-foot space here?
>> Yeah.
>> So, 200 dollars. Is that up for grab or is that more of a firm price?
>> I can lower the price but--
>> What do you think is the least it would go down to?
>> At least, 100 dollars?
>> Let me ask you this, Tom. What has the bathroom situation been like since you've been in line?
>> Walked down to 53rd street to use a bathroom and pay the guy.
>> So, we got about 45 minutes left in line here. You're getting pretty excited?
>> Very, very excited. Good to be this close to the end.

>> And how long have you been in line for? [ Dog Barking ]
>> So, I'm here with Jason who's been sitting in line for--since about 5 this morning. Okay. So, that would make you one of the last people in line here.
>> Exactly. Exactly. People have been waiting in line for about 7 days and you've only been waiting for like 2 hours. Probably, you can get an iPhone within 50 minutes of each other?
>> Yeah. You learn, you learn from last year. ^M00:01:51 [ Applause ] [ People Cheering ] ^M00:02:00
>> Congratulations!
>> Excuse me sir. How long have you been standing in line?
>> Like a minute.
>> A minute? Okay. So, you just got here?
>> Yeah. I'm actually waiting for the next iPhone.
>> Oh, so you're not waiting for the 3G iPhone?
>> No, no, no. Four, I want 4Gs.
>> So, you're about what? Six years early for this?
>> Yeah, I'm like 16 months.
