[31:26] This is the cabinet where we put all the great minds together.
[31:32] This is the presence of the chair.
[31:36] This is my chair here.
[31:38] This is my chair to date.
[31:41] And all the cameras are straight across.
[31:44] And then when they leave off, they take the chair.
[31:46] I guess that's it.
[31:47] And I keep this.
[31:48] That's it.
[32:33] I don't know what it is, but I know they put it down just block by block.
[32:43] That took them quite a while.
[32:49] I think they did it a few minutes before.
[32:52] I think so, yeah.
[32:53] To my knowledge, there isn't a new table.
[32:54] Do you ever have a new table before?
[32:58] I vaguely, but I must remember it wrong.

[33:04] You know what I'm doing for you.
[33:13] Well, I'm just getting some little details for some writing, some fiction.
[33:26] It's more, it's more...
[33:30] I just got some humor in it, I hope.
[33:33] It's supposed to be in women's lives and so forth.
[33:39] Yeah, I've got two chapters.
[33:40] What did he say?
[33:46] It must have been, okay, I don't remember any scandals, but I don't think any controversies...
[34:02] Well, I've been a reporter all my life, and switching to fiction is just a different town.
[34:07] First of all, the writer, she just writes as little as she can.
[34:13] This person is fussing, you know.
[34:16] All the details in the fiction writing, set scenes and all that, it's often hard for me to get used to.
[34:24] The turn of that window is the rose garden.
