Yeah, look, have Mittendorf sit in with this Prime Minister.
Is there any reason he can't?
Otherwise, I've got to waste a half hour talking to him afterwards.
No, I think...
I mean, is there any reason?
not that i'm aware of sir yeah you know what i mean this guy really shouldn't be seeing even except he's a dutchman that's right jesus christ i mean it's a pure social call you know to crap around about some of the stuff of that but god damn it our ambassador sits in all right fine and it isn't the kind of private talk i usually have the ambassador sits in good and then i and then tell me i'm sorry but i'm tied up
Right afterwards, see?
Right.
See, because they have him on now for a half-hour meeting after the prime minister, and I just haven't got that much time to spend on Holland today.
