All right.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. President.

Well, baby, we think maybe we'll come down and see you tomorrow.

Oh, a wonderful night.

God, you've got to be dead.

Yeah, yeah.

You've got to be totally dead.

It was just wonderful tonight and the whole thing.

We had a 10-hour flight before I flew right in and made that speech, so...

But we're off.

I was worried about you doing it because, you know, under any condition, that's really tough to climb and all that.

Best to get it done with.

Yeah.

Well, I think Pat's coming and maybe David, I mean, Tricia and Julie, too.

Good.

I think you'll be leaving at noon or do you know yet?

I think we'll leave around...

12 or 1 o'clock.

Get down there about 3.

And we'll come in.

How much time do you think you'll have?

Well, I'm going to stay probably until Wednesday night.

you
