Hello, you got home all right and everything?
I was just going to call you.
Oh, good, good, good.
We got home fine.
Yeah.
And how's everything there?
Just fine.
I went out on the boat tonight for a brief dinner with a couple people and came back.
Did you go with General Haig?
No, I went with Ziegler.
We had to go over a lot of things.
Oh, right.
Was it a nice evening?
Very nice.
No, it's raining here.
No, but it rained after we went out.
But it was just as nice as it could be.
That's good.
It must be sort of fun on the boat in the rain.
Yeah, it sure is.
It's different.
Right.
So, well, today was a good day.
They tell me that Mitchell did very well.
He knocked him dead.
Did you think so?
Yes, he really did.
You look at all of it, do you?
I think you should.
That's good.
But I knew Mitchell would be good.
He's really very good.
He's more believable than the likes of Magruder and Dean.
Well, yes, he is, in that he's, in a way, he's left smooth.
You know, he doesn't remember every minute and second.
No, no, of course not.
Nobody does.
And, oh, boy, he sort of puts down Dash and all that.
For example, Dash is asking leading questions about...
Well, how could Magruder have been motivated to do something?
And they said, well, I can't read someone's mind and all this.
That's good.
Well, everybody tells me he made a very good impression.
Very strong.
And it was interesting because...
That's good.
And a lot of people were really looking happy today.
That's great.
It's an indicator of how well he's done.
So I'm glad to see that.
Right, right.
Well, if things are looking up, don't you worry.
That's right, that's right.
And I thought the reception you got yesterday, I can't believe it was just yesterday.
Yeah, isn't that something?
Kansas City was very good.
Sure it was, sure.
They're in 100 degrees.
Basically, those are the same people who were out for the bombing, and I would say about a third of the signs were bombing signs.
I know.
Same kind of people.
Same kind of people.
And I thought it was good that they continued there.
Yeah, that's right.
But the people were basically very friendly, honey, and they were... Yeah, right.
Right.
Well, good, and we'll be seeing you, and hope everything's going well now, sweetie.
Everything's going well.
We'll see you soon.
Oh, yeah, fine.
Oh.
Oh.
We'll see you then.
All right, honey.
Talk to you soon, Daddy.
All right, silly.
Goodbye.
Thank you, silly.
Thank you.
