[0:07] Well, that's right.
[0:08] Did you have a good time?
[0:10] Oh, yes.
[0:10] We were on the boat.
[0:11] I'm just here working on my dirts and things.
[0:13] We're going to get a few things done.
[0:16] But it's all right.
[0:16] I'll do it in the morning.
[0:18] Oh, I'm sorry.
[0:19] Did you need me?

[1:01] Oh, perfect, wasn't it?
[1:02] Yeah.
[1:02] The boat was beautiful.

[1:07] Did you notice, though?
[1:09] Yeah.
[1:09] Get them where I got them.
[1:11] Oh.
[1:11] Stole them out of the bouquet in your office.
[1:13] Oh, that's nice.
[1:15] You didn't miss them, though, did you?
[1:17] Not at all.
[1:18] Not at all.
[1:21] Mm-hmm.
[1:21] I don't want you to come back.
[1:22] It's, uh...

[1:34] I'll be happy to if you like, but it's up to you, whatever you think is best.
[1:42] 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.
[1:52] Would it be a lot of trouble?
[1:53] No, sir.
[1:54] I can be there.
[1:55] Okay.
[1:56] Where are you working, sir?
[1:57] I'll be in the EOB.

[2:04] Yes.
[2:04] Okay.
[2:05] Fine.
