Hello.
Mr. Haldeman, I have General Hughes.
Thank you.
Hello.
Hello, Bob.
Don?
Yes, sir.
Something apparently went astray on our operation here because the AIDS office has told Manolo he's to go down at 7 o'clock tonight.
And as you know, we weren't supposed to be saying anything to anybody.
Jesus Christ.
I didn't know anything about it, Bob.
And if I did, I'll find who did it.
I told them not to send it to anybody.
Well, they apparently set some wheels in motion because they at least ordered Manolo up on a 7 o'clock plane, which, of course, there shouldn't be one of to begin with.
And there should be no notification to anybody.
I can't answer that, Bob.
All I did was launch my helicopters.
Could you get on your guys then and get it?
I will.
I'll do it right now.
Everything turned off.
Just tell them there is no trip.
God damn them.
Just tell them the trip is canceled.
All right.
Let me get a right.
But leave the helicopters down there.
Yeah, I've got to do that.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened, and I'll find out who did it.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thanks.
