Oh, yeah, yeah.
And I don't know.
I called last night.
Yeah, I know.
And then seen it to say no more calls.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
That was all right, I think.
Right, right.
Okay.
I can follow you by radio and everything, am I?
Well, we're really busy.
I know.
It must be frightful.
I may do a press thing on Wednesday or Thursday.
Not at night, but in the daytime.
The one in your office, you mean?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Get them out of the way.
Yeah.
Well, that'd be good.
That'd be good.
Well, I think everything seems to be, you know, seems to be going fine, except for my old friend meeting that somebody would shove off a building.
Isn't he something?
He really is incredible.
That's the way life is.
I guess there's always somebody like that around.

Okay.
Okay, well, thank you so very much.
Bye.
