[0:00] I have Mr. Steve Rule for you.
[0:04] Yes, sir.
[0:05] Steve, on the breakfast tomorrow, where is it being held?
[0:08] In the state dining room?
[0:09] Yes, sir, in the state dining room.
[0:11] And I wanted to tell you that since it is there, it's fine if they add some extra staff people, you know, because it looks very empty if there's too few people there.
[0:21] All right, sir.
[0:22] I don't know what they've done.
[0:23] What do they have on staff?
[0:24] They must have, of course, the top white-out staff, I hope.
[0:27] Yes, the top ones and Kenny Cole.
[0:30] Erlich and Haldeman.
[0:35] Flanagan should be there, I think.
[0:36] Flanagan, all right, sir.
[0:41] All right.
[0:46] And... Of course, Sigler will be there.
[0:48] Sigler should be there.
[0:49] Timmons?
[0:51] Yes, we'll have Timmons there, sir.
[0:52] Timmons should be there.
[0:56] Do you want to seat them at the table, then, and have them eat?
[0:58] Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, sure.
[0:59] Because, you see, it's such a big room, and the table is too small.
[1:03] Good.
[1:04] All right, fine.
[1:05] Thank you.
[1:05] Okay, thank you, Steve.
