Well, the dinner was fine.
Did it go all right?
Oh, sure.
Small dinners, of course, are really great for the people that are in the harbor.
Yeah, they get to see a lot more of you.
Now, I hope Kishi should be happy for this thing.
Boy, we really do feel proud.
But he was courteous to me, you know, when I was out of office.
Oh, sure, he always was.
Every time I was there, I remember he saw me, he gave me a dinner, he took me out to the kitchen.
That's right, he was always...
I remember when I was out of office, he did it.
That's right.
I think this is going to mean a hell of a lot.
Sure.
He gave us a gift.
I wonder if there's anything we can give him in return.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
Check on the market.
See if there's anything we can give him in return.
If it's a gift, I'm thinking.
Oh, wow.
We get one of those pictures the two of us frame and give it to them Sure, we can, or I can find out if they have something else Something else, well, something that would sort of be special in the first look at it I think that picture frame would be nice Sure, we could do that, but the way we could do that would have to be, we'd have to get that sign Well, we could have that Well, that or something else, you may find something else better
Yeah, I'll see what all...
Does it need to go to him tomorrow?
I don't know how many people are going to be around tomorrow because of stuff.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I mean, whether the gift seat... No, we can send it, mail it to him.
Yeah.
And give it to the ambassador and send it to him.
No hurry.
That's what I was thinking.
I think maybe the picture is a good idea.
Send it to him.
I don't, you know, have it fresh.
Sure.
And everything.
And, uh...
Okay.
I think that would be great.
Okay, let's do the picture.
