[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] Daddy?
[0:02] Julie.
[0:02] Hi.
[0:03] I just wanted to tell you that I was talking to Bebe this afternoon.
[0:06] Uh-huh.
[0:06] And he wanted me to tell you that the weather's really great in Florida.
[0:11] Mm.
[0:11] And that he has a surprise for you in the house.
[0:15] What is?
[0:15] Ah, the fireplace.
[0:16] Yeah.
[0:16] He said it is so beautiful.
[0:19] Yeah, yeah.
[0:19] Incidentally, I won't be able to come down this weekend.
[0:23] Oh, that's too bad.
[0:25] Because I've got to do some work on a little speech I may have to make next week.
[0:29] Maybe he was thinking that you might want to go to Walker's and work.
[0:33] Right.
[0:34] I can't work there too well.
[0:34] But anyway, I wanted you to know that if you would call him back, you can sort of do me a favor.
[0:44] Sure.
[0:46] I'd like for him to come to California on Tuesday.
[0:50] Tuesday afternoon after Q leaves, see?
[0:52] Right, the fourth, that is.
[0:54] That's right.
[0:54] And then he'll be there Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
[0:58] We'll come back Sunday and ask him to do that, okay?
[1:01] Daddy, are you sure you can't work better in Florida?
[1:04] I'm afraid not.
[1:04] Don't you need to get away?
[1:05] I'm afraid not.
[1:07] Well, if I get away, I don't know if he'll get the work done.
[1:09] You'll get it done.
[1:11] But anyway, that's the way.
[1:12] Leave it open in your mind, going down.
[1:15] Yeah.
[1:16] I really think that you need to change the pace for working.
[1:19] to do sometime but we'll see but that's really great and i know the fireplace would be marvelous if you can get away bb's free so i just think it's easier to work if you have kind of a new outlook it seems to me that walkers is an awful good place to kind of get away from it all well if i came i just if i have to work i work better to keep his game because i fraction but you're going to be up in a 26th are you right uh-huh
[1:48] On Monday, I'm going to speak to the Jewish women.
[1:51] That's a great, great... Up here?
[1:54] No, it's in Miami.
[1:55] Marvelous.
[1:56] Well, you tell them how much we love them.
[1:57] Okay, I sure will.
[1:59] Their support and everything.
[2:01] Listen, Daddy, by the way, that letter you sent to the captain was beautiful.
[2:04] Well, you finally got it, did you?
[2:06] My God, I think he's on cloud nine.
[2:07] Did you get a copy of it?
[2:08] That's what I mean.
[2:09] I saw the copy.
[2:10] It was a nice letter, wasn't it?
[2:11] Oh, it was really beautiful.
[2:13] It was beautifully put.
[2:15] And, uh, boy, I just know it...
[2:17] Did David like it?
[2:18] Oh, David just couldn't believe it.
[2:20] It'll make his career, you know, and also we'll remember him as long as we're here.
[2:28] Well, he's a good man, and it's good for him to know that.
[2:32] Well, Daddy, if you want my advice, I think you should consider going to Florida.
[2:36] All right.
[2:38] Okay, see you.
[2:38] Thank you.
[2:39] Bye.
