Yes, sir, Mr. President.
Just incidentally, isn't she Catholic?
No, I don't believe so.
Well, she's married to an Italian now, you know.
He's Catholic.
No question about it.
Check her religion and see if it isn't Catholic and ask her if she isn't part Italian.
No, I think she may be.
She is now.
Yeah, all right.
And we're going to make sure that name goes out in the appropriate way.
Yeah.
But what is her name now?
Falcone.
That's what she would be, not Mildred Lilly.
That's correct.
In other words, we'd be appointing Mrs. What?
Mrs. Mildred Lilly Falcone.
That's not bad.
No, I don't think so either.
You could really break that off in John Hart.
After all, we couldn't find them, but...
Married to an Italian, a Falcone is a good name.
That's absolutely correct.
But listen, tell her if she isn't a Catholic to get busy.
Get over there, God damn it, and get confirmed.
Okay?
We'll try.
All right.
