[0:00] Hello?
[0:02] Yes, sir.
[0:02] Well, what's the report today?
[0:04] Things are still not good.
[0:07] They're much quieter than they were yesterday.
[1:12] Tell me this, you're going to go on with your plan then, are you?
[1:16] I think so.
[1:17] Good.
[1:18] I can always be back in three hours.
[1:20] Of course, of course.
[1:21] So I think I will.
[1:22] You'll go late this afternoon then?
[1:24] Yes, sir.
[1:25] Late this afternoon?
[1:27] Yes, sir.
[1:27] Good.
[1:27] Unless you want something else, and I'll be delighted to.
[1:29] Oh, sir, no.
[1:30] The only thing that I wanted you to take a look at was to have the Joint Chiefs.
[1:35] I'm doing that now.
[1:36] Oh, good.
[1:37] It's very important.
[1:38] I want to, before we make the final budget thing, I want to.
[1:42] to talk with you about it.
[1:44] Roger.
[1:44] We're just finishing now.
[1:46] Good, good.
[1:47] It's quite, quite shakes you up a bit, doesn't it?
[1:50] Yes, sir.
[1:51] Yeah.
[1:51] Sure as hell does.
[1:53] Okay, well then let's leave her just like that.
[1:54] We'll, and you go on and I'll,
[1:57] I'll see there's no run of the damn bank while you're here.
[2:00] I'll be here another ten days.
[2:02] I'll be here another week, I mean.
[2:04] All right, sir.
[2:05] I'll be in touch with him every several hours.
[2:07] 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.
[2:15] That's right.
[2:16] Okay.
[2:16] All right, sir.
[2:17] Have a good trip.
[2:17] Thank you, sir.
