[0:00] Hello?
[0:05] Rose?
[0:06] Yes, sir?
[0:09] Did they find out where my notes were?
[0:14] Oh, yes, they found out he didn't have anything.
[0:15] He didn't?
[0:15] No, and he's sort of a kook, but you know what?
[0:18] He's a grade 14 with the Internal Revenue Service.
[0:22] And apparently, Arthur Godfrey called me and said, apparently he's sort of a, now he takes on anyone, you know, any name or something.
[0:38] I guess his bosses or something.
[0:39] Sounds to me like they ought to take him.
[0:41] Yeah.
[0:41] But I, you know, I knew, Rose, that there was nothing to it.
[0:44] Because, you know, the reason I knew is that I have a very, I have a little procedure I follow on the plane.
[0:48] I change coats.
[0:51] put it in the briefcase, put it in the schedule, and go with that alone, because I know this could happen, you know.
[1:02] And so I know he didn't have any, but I just thought maybe I made a mistake.
[1:04] I thought maybe he had gotten a, you know, like a schedule card and was just trying to make it in, but he didn't have anything.
[1:22] He didn't have anything to show them.
[1:26] And he hasn't tried to make anything up.
[1:27] I mean, he just made up the story.
