[0:18] They're both out of town.
[0:20] There's no one with him.
[0:21] I'm surprised.
[0:22] the governor, and he was overwhelmed with this gesture, and he said he would immediately convey this to... You told him it was just a private thing?
[0:29] Right, sir.
[0:30] I said it was between you, the other group, and he and I, so he wanted to know about it.

[1:15] Sure, sure.
[1:16] Well, let me just get the word to him.
[1:18] Okay.
[1:19] All right, sir.
[1:19] Good job.
[1:20] Thank you.
[1:20] All right, sir.
