Yeah, they're great.

ATC: "Say airspeed"
Us: "250"
ATC: "Maintain current airspeed as long as practical" (about 2 seconds later) "We need you back at your final ASAP"
Us: "Slowing"
ATC: "Your traffic is over the shipyards, clear to land behind that traffic. Spacing looks good. If you need to do S-turns that is approved, clear to land RWY 35"

Spacing looks good, but we need to do S-turns? Hmmm...
