No.
Mr. Raposa.
Baby, where are you?
I'm at home.
What the hell are you doing there?
Well, I just finished my annual shareholders meeting and decided to take this dinner.
By yourself?
No, I'm in the kitchen by myself.
I've got a couple of them in the living room.
A couple of what?
A couple of directors.
Male or female?
One of them's Rackley.
Oh, boy.
I wanted to tell you that I decided to come down.
Great.
And Julie told me that David, she called him, and he said, okay, goddamn weather's bad that you're being evicted from the trailer.
Well, you know, I tell you, I was really scared of this one.
I just got a feeling it's going to be good.
We're coming down about 3 o'clock tomorrow.
We'll be there.
Great.
And what the hell, if it isn't too bad, it's okay.
Well, I think it'll be all right.
But anyway, we'll all enjoy it.
Wonderful.
The weather's bad, but give Rackley my best.
How is he?
Better.
Who else is there?
You know, I think there's a toll taken for the
Do you think it would be good if I said hello to him or not?
Yeah, I think so.
All right, fine.
And the other person.
Good evening, Mr. President.
I think he would object, sir.
That's right.
Well...
Frank, I just want you to know we've appreciated your great support through the years, and you've been so damn loyal and everything.
Well, God bless you.
I'm certainly proud of our friendship.
Good to talk to you, Frank.
Thank you, sir.
You take care.
Say hello to Marguerite.
Sure.
Good evening, Mr. President.
Marguerite, how are you?
I'm just fine.
Fine.
Is your bozo behaving?
Well, I haven't.
I just said hello to him, and he disappeared again.
So I really can't say.
I had better go check up on him.
Yeah, better watch out for those rooms he's got around there, you know, with the pretty girl.
You never know what he's going to do.
Oh, now aren't you kind.
I'll tell you, our admiration for you and Pat is just immeasurable.
Well, we want to know how much we've appreciated your tools, Frank.
In the good years, everybody is with us, but I remember in 61, 62, when it was tough, you and Frank were with us.
And so we remember our loyal friends.
Well, we certainly have, and we sincerely appreciate it.
So nice talking to you.
Have a great evening now.
We'll do that.
Okay.
Good night.
