[0:01] Hello.
[0:03] Hello.
[0:03] Hello, Mr. President.
[0:04] How are you?
[1:38] How was church today?
[1:39] Just fine.
[1:40] Oh, we had a huge crowd.
[1:42] I know.
[1:42] I thought about you.
[1:43] That must have been awful having to shake hands.
[1:45] No, no, it was fine.
[1:46] We didn't mind.
[1:47] Did old Dr. Bell make it?
[1:49] He sure did.
[1:50] Yeah, I told him.
[1:51] We gave him names to give to you.
[1:54] Yeah, so I got him, and I mentioned how much we appreciated what he was doing.
[1:58] I wonder if we have sent him things like cufflinks or anything like that.

[2:45] Right.
[2:46] I think that's a beautiful thing.
[2:47] I think he'd love something like that better even than glasses.
[2:50] Right.
[2:51] Give him that and the cufflinks, too, though.
[2:53] Uh-huh.
[2:54] That's good.
[2:54] Because you can put that on his desk, you know?
[2:57] Give him the cufflinks and the tie pin.
[2:59] Okay.
[3:00] And the Lucite thing and so forth.
[3:03] Yes.
[3:04] That's good.
[3:05] Because I think he'd love that.
[3:09] Well, that's fine.
[3:10] That's fine.
[4:54] you
