Hello.
Congressman Wagoner.
Hello.
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
Joe, if you've got a minute, I was just chatting with John here, and could he talk to you a minute?
Sure.
All right.
Joe.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Nothing, John.
I'm doing fine.
How are you doing?
Well, I just couldn't be better.
That's great.
I guess I'm fine unless I was rich.
You know, rich folk got mighty pretty ways.
Yeah, poor folk got damn boys.
That's right.
