Hello.

Mr. Hart.

Yeah.

Yes, sir.

You can put the radio thing up on the schedule for tomorrow at 2.

I'll cut it at 2 o'clock over there in the little office.

Okay, fine, sir.

Yeah, and they can put the final copy.

I don't need it today.

I mean, well, as soon as they've run off the final copy, you can send it over here, and I'll work it on it, okay?

Okay, fine, sir.

Fine.
