Hello?
Yes, sir.
Miss Hanks, please.
Thank you.
There you are.
Hello?
Hello?
Well, Len told me you survived your day.
Well, listen, I am down here with about a thousand people who think you are the greatest man in the entire world, not the United States.
That's because I know you.
No, not at all.
Well, everything went well, okay.
Oh, it went okay, not okay.
More than that, they were so thrilled with your response, what they'd been talking about.
And, you know, I've never been in a place with such a feeling of response.
It's just marvelous.
That's good.
Well, that's fine.
And you're wonderful and dear to call.
And, you know, I'm just so thrilled, my own self personally, to sort of be able to forward the aims you have.
The main thing is you've got to make it work now, you know.
Not just get the dough, but, you know, get it around, huh?
Oh, yes.
Okay.
I'll do it.
Thank you for coming.
And you give them all my best, please.
Certainly will.
I'll be just thrilled.
That's right.
And you get all the credit.
Bye.
Bye.
No, I don't.
You get it.
Bye.
I'm giving it to you.
Bye.
