So, sir, well, we've decided to go up there.
We probably all have to come back tonight, or at least David and Julie will.
Let me ask you this.
If they went up, could the...
Could the plane that she goes on be up at Frederick's place?
Certainly.
Hagerstown is only a 10-minute helicopter ride.
It wouldn't be too bad, would it?
No, sir.
Then they wouldn't have such a long ride.
He has to take the plane back tonight.
Certainly we'll do that.
No problem, is it?
Not at all, no, sir.
Okay, Jack, we'll take the helicopter.
About how long would they like to get it?
Well, 15 minutes would get everyone.
Don't rush them.
What time have you got now?
I have five minutes past 10.
All right, we'll say at 10.
We'll say 20 minutes, 5 minutes, 10, 20.
So it gives them plenty of time.
And I think we'll take Manolo with us with the dogs.
There'll be room for everybody.
There will not be necessary to take a girl this time since we're just going and coming right back.
Okay.
So no stenographer.
Okay?
All right, sir.
