[0:17] A couple of what?
[0:18] A couple of directors.
[0:20] Male or female?
[0:21] One of them's Rackley.

[0:28] Great.
[0:29] 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.
[0:41] Well, you know, I tell you, I was really scared of this one.
[0:44] I just got a feeling it's going to be good.
[0:46] We're coming down about 3 o'clock tomorrow.
[0:49] We'll be there.

[1:20] Yeah, I think so.
[1:21] All right, fine.
[1:24] And the other person.
[1:37] Good evening, Mr. President.
[1:39] I think he would object, sir.
[1:46] That's right.
[1:59] Well...
[2:00] 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.
[2:07] Well, God bless you.
[2:08] I'm certainly proud of our friendship.
[2:11] Good to talk to you, Frank.

[2:19] Good evening, Mr. President.
[2:20] Marguerite, how are you?
[2:21] I'm just fine.
[2:22] Fine.
[2:23] Is your bozo behaving?
[2:25] Well, I haven't.
[2:26] I just said hello to him, and he disappeared again.
[2:28] So I really can't say.
[2:29] I had better go check up on him.
[2:31] Yeah, better watch out for those rooms he's got around there, you know, with the pretty girl.
[2:34] You never know what he's going to do.
[2:35] Oh, now aren't you kind.
[2:37] I'll tell you, our admiration for you and Pat is just immeasurable.
[2:41] Well, we want to know how much we've appreciated your tools, Frank.
[2:45] In the good years, everybody is with us, but I remember in 61, 62, when it was tough, you and Frank were with us.
[2:51] And so we remember our loyal friends.
[2:54] Well, we certainly have, and we sincerely appreciate it.
[2:57] So nice talking to you.
[2:59] Have a great evening now.
[3:00] We'll do that.
[3:01] Okay.
[3:02] Good night.
