Hi.
Hi, Julie.
Well, welcome back.
Good.
How are you?
Just heading over there for dinner.
You're going to be there until 7.30, are you?
We'll be there as long as, you know, you're going to be there.
Wow.
Fine.
Well, Daddy, are you going to walk over now?
Yeah.
Well, why don't I meet you and walk over with you?
Are you walking over from the OB?

I'll wait for you.
Okay, bye.
