Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
You left early tonight.
Yes, sir, I did.
When you left, I left.
Well, that's right.
Did you have a good time?
Oh, yes.
We were on the boat.
I'm just here working on my dirts and things.
We're going to get a few things done.
But it's all right.
I'll do it in the morning.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did you need me?
It's all right.
Well, it's up to you.
I'm in.
How far do you live?
I really don't live very far, but it'll take me about 20 minutes to, you know, get dressed.
Oh, my goodness.
You're ready to go to bed?
Oh, no, no.
I'm not, but I just, actually, I'm just eating.
Oh, I see.
At this hour?
Mm-hmm.
My goodness.
Well, see, I walked home from work, and that took me almost an hour.
Such a beautiful evening, I just...
It wasn't, though.
It had a full moon and everything.
Oh, perfect, wasn't it?
Yeah.
The boat was beautiful.
It was, and I saw you had carnations on your desk.
Did you notice, though?
Yeah.
Get them where I got them.
Oh.
Stole them out of the bouquet in your office.
Oh, that's nice.
You didn't miss them, though, did you?
Not at all.
Not at all.
Mm-hmm.
I don't want you to come back.
It's, uh...
It's, uh...
I'll be happy to if you like, but it's up to you, whatever you think is best.
I got a few little things on the Dirksen thing that you might run off on, you know, so I can just use them for, I'm not going to make a formal speech, just to read a few quotes.
Would it be a lot of trouble?
No, sir.
I can be there.
Okay.
Where are you working, sir?
I'll be in the EOB.
I've got to go over to the Lincoln Room to get my briefcase, and I'll be back in about, okay?
Yes.
Okay.
Fine.
