Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Mr. President.
You are out to lunch, aren't you?
I'm at that lunch for the christening, but I can talk where I am.
Oh, no, no, no.
Well, I don't need to, no.
No, no, but I can talk from here.
Yeah.
When will you finish and so forth?
Maybe in about half an hour, 45 minutes.
No, but I mean, let me see.
I don't want you to make any special...
Were you coming back here anyway, or where were you going?
Going home?
I was going home, yes.
Fine.
Well, I see no reason to, no need to, then.
I'll give you... We had the first reports from Hague, Mr. President.
Yeah.
Well, why don't you just wait until you get back, and at your convenience, you give them to me, okay?
Because I'm in no hurry.
Right, Mr. President.
