[0:33] Hello, Mr. President.
[0:34] Silvio, I couldn't let anybody reach that watershed year of 50 without saying happy birthday to you.
[0:40] You're wonderful.
[0:41] My gosh, that's something.
[0:42] This is a very traumatic...
[0:44] I tell you, it is, it is, but just forget it, you know.
[0:46] When you get to be 58, you'll look back and say, boy, I was really young when I was 50.
[0:50] Oh, you're wonderful.
[0:51] Well, take care and tell all your family when you get home that I told you to take the night off.
[0:57] Thank you very, very much, Mr. President.

[1:00] Okay, bye.
[1:00] It's going to make my day.
