[0:00] I have Mr. Rebozo, sir.
[0:03] Hello.
[0:04] Mr. President.
[0:05] BB, where are you tonight?
[0:06] Well, I'm at my sister's house down the street.
[0:08] How are you feeling?
[0:09] Just fine, just fine.
[0:10] I hope you didn't call to offer me that post-it cartoon.
[0:14] Oh, boy, isn't that too bad.
[0:15] You heard that.
[0:16] Horrible.
[0:16] Yeah, well.
[0:17] That's unreal.
[0:18] Of course, we couldn't give in to the blackmail.
[0:21] No way, no way.
[0:23] So I'd indicate that earlier that we wouldn't.
[0:25] That's all you'd have to do, just one thing.
[0:27] Well, if we gave in once, then they'd do it everywhere around the world.
[0:31] Yeah, everybody would be doing it.
[0:32] That's horrendous.
[0:35] I was thinking, why don't you come up tomorrow and come to the Sammy Davis party and then go to Camp David with me for a day?
[0:43] Sure.
[0:44] Okay.
[0:47] Great.
[0:47] Get up here and then you could stay at the White House.
[0:54] There's plenty of room.
[0:58] And I would go to Camp David about Sunday around noon.
[1:03] Okay.
[1:04] Okay?
[1:05] Okay.
[1:06] Is the party black tie?
[1:08] Yeah, bring your black tie, you know.
[1:10] Otherwise, they'll think you look like a slob.
[1:15] That's right.
[1:17] Black tie and don't bring any mustard.
[1:21] Okay.
[1:22] How are you feeling, all right?
[1:25] Oh, fine, fine.
[1:26] I hate to even tell you this, but you wouldn't believe the weather we've had all week.
[1:31] Yeah.
[1:32] You wouldn't believe it.
[1:34] It's just been gorgeous.
[1:35] Well, that's the way it is, yeah.
[1:37] Okay.
[1:37] Well, actually, you know, since we were talking, a lot of good things have happened, though, the way these POWs have handled themselves, and we put it to those bastards and made them come through on that anyway.
[1:49] You know, I was talking...
[1:51] I talked to Walter Annenberg yesterday, and he is so proud.
[1:55] He's just so proud of that POW return, the way you handled all that.
[2:01] He's just bursting at the seams.
[2:03] That's good.
[2:04] He really is.
[2:05] He's properly soaked.
[2:06] Right.
[2:07] Well, wonderful.
[2:09] Well, anyway, you can come up and have yourself a good time.
[2:12] Okay.
[2:13] All right, sir.
[2:14] Bye.
