Meltzer: The numbers all go to six. Look, right across the board, six, six, six and...

Twitter: Oh, I see. And most scores go up to five?

Meltzer: Exactly.

Twitter: Does that mean it's better? Is it any better?

Meltzer: Well, it's one better, isn't it? It's not five. You see, most blokes, you know, will be wrestling at five. You're on five here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on five on your stars. Where can you go from there? Where?

Twitter: I don't know.

Meltzer: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Twitter: Put it up to six.

Meltzer: Six. Exactly. One better.

Twitter: Why don't you just make five better and make five be the top number and make that a little better?

Meltzer: [pause] These go to six.
