No, it was an outstanding thing.
Well, you know, you never know.
The questions always determine it.
But we got a few points across.
Well, but the questions were not very good.
No, they were pretty stupid.
The oldest was fumbling around.
I know, but we did well by him.
But you did.
No, when I talked about the young people, I think that was not bad, you know, to talk about the fact that I dreamed of those kids and I wanted them to believe in this country.
You know, that was not bad, Henry.
But what do you think of that kid, that answer about the family?
Wasn't that good?
That was very good.
I didn't think it was too bad.
It wasn't the best.
But the idea that, well, look, we're ending the war.
We're doing this.
We're proving the system will work now.
Kids, come aboard.
Let's get going, huh?

I thought it was very effective.
Okay.
Well, Henry, have a good time.
Thank you.
Ziegler, please.
He's out at the Sherm Hotel.
Thank you, sir.
Yes, please.
Herb Klein.
He's out at the Sherm Hotel, please.
Thank you, sir.
Wow.
Yes, sir.
Ring Julie in her room, please.
Thank you, sir.
