Hello?
Yes, sir.
Well, what's the report today?
Things are still not good.
They're much quieter than they were yesterday.
Tell me this, you're going to go on with your plan then, are you?
I think so.
Good.
I can always be back in three hours.
Of course, of course.
So I think I will.
You'll go late this afternoon then?
Yes, sir.
Late this afternoon?
Yes, sir.
Good.
Unless you want something else, and I'll be delighted to.
Oh, sir, no.
The only thing that I wanted you to take a look at was to have the Joint Chiefs.
I'm doing that now.
Oh, good.
It's very important.
I want to, before we make the final budget thing, I want to.
to talk with you about it.
Roger.
We're just finishing now.
Good, good.
It's quite, quite shakes you up a bit, doesn't it?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Sure as hell does.
Okay, well then let's leave her just like that.
We'll, and you go on and I'll,
I'll see there's no run of the damn bank while you're here.
I'll be here another ten days.
I'll be here another week, I mean.
All right, sir.
I'll be in touch with him every several hours.
But, you know, as a matter of fact, there's no need to stay because, as you say, you're three hours away and you're a second away on the telephone.
That's right.
Okay.
All right, sir.
Have a good trip.
Thank you, sir.
