[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] Miss Patricia.
[0:13] Yeah.
[0:14] Hello.
[0:14] Daddy, I'll tell you another reason why I'm calling.
[0:17] I have a secret service.
[0:30] And what I want you to do is have someone tell Mr. Terrence for them not to follow me in stores.
[0:41] No one knows we're coming.
[0:43] Nothing has ever happened.
[0:44] Nothing ever will happen.
[0:45] The only time that we need the secret service really is when something's been announced ahead of time.
[0:49] All right.
[0:50] Whenever you have an announced visit, you want them, but when you have an unannounced visit, you don't.
[0:55] Just around the study or something, we just need to be able to...
[0:58] Even if they just want to come within, you know, calling distance.
[1:16] You watch every single mouthful you take, every single step you make, and all this.
[1:23] Good people come out, but they're friendly.
[1:24] And I almost need to know that you're coming to me prepared to do anything like kidnap.
[1:27] Here I go.
[1:28] Mm-hmm.
[1:44] Mm-hmm.
[1:44] I can see your concern about it.
[1:54] Yeah, I'll talk and see what we can work out on it that is consistent with the law and so forth.
[2:01] Mm-hmm.
[2:05] Mm-hmm.
[2:14] All right, I'll take a look at it.
