I have General Hank calling you, Mr. President.
Yes, sir.
Have you left yet?
No, sir.
I'm in the office.
How do you feel?
Oh, fine.
Very good.
You must be dead.
Well, I've got a little cold, and that's...
But you're not under the weather or anything, yeah?
No, no.
What I mean is you must be fatigued.
That's what I meant.
Well, it's a screwy time schedule.
I think we left at about 4 o'clock.
Would you like to come over for just a few minutes before I leave?
Yes, sir.
I'm over at the EOB.
Fine, sir.
I'll be right there.
Fine.
