Hello.
Mr. Paul Keyes?
Yeah.
There you are.
Hello.
Hello, sir.
How are you?
Hi, Paul.
How's your program going?
Great, thank you.
Everything's going well?
Yes, sir.
We're up in the ratings, and that's...
That's the yardstick.
Right, right.
We were just taping a sketch about you, and somebody came in and said you were calling.
Is that right?
How are you?
Well, I'm great.
But I'm just glad it's going so well.
Well, it is.
And you're holding up right where you were, huh?
Yes, sir.
Yes.
I could use a weekend on the Mojo, though.
Yeah.
Even with the noisy engine.
Oh, who cares?
That was great.
Right, right, right.
You feeling all right?
Oh, it couldn't be better.
Good, good.
Just keep the boys in line.
They're doing great.
What, is it on Thursday nights?
Monday, sir.
Monday.
Well, I haven't seen it since the first one, but I'll have to look again.
Good, good.
It's sold.
And I'll tell you one.
There's one coming up you should watch with Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland's daughter, and it's just great.
Right.
Well, you...
Drop Rosa a note, and I'll try to... Of course, Mondays, you know, usually most of these nights I'm out, but what time do you come on?
Eight, sir.
I can make that at times.
Okay.
At times.
In two weeks, we do our 100th one, and that's really a big event.
And Duke Wayne is a guest on it.
Well, if you do that one, then let me know, and then maybe I'll see it, and I'll send you a wire or something.
How would that be?
Good.
I'll do that, sir.
Right.
Okay, Paul.
Take care of yourself.
Thank you, sir.
