[1:35:04] Something like that. [1:35:16] It's going to take a long day. [1:35:17] We'll say this is what we were checking on. [1:35:20] We know there isn't any security problem. [1:35:22] We're going to find out if the president has scheduled. [1:35:27] What kind of odor will there be? [1:35:28] A lot of odor. [1:35:29] Okay, just hold up a second. [1:35:30] A lot of odor. [1:35:31] Maybe I'll wait until the weekend. [1:35:34] Yeah, maybe so. [1:35:34] We better find out. [1:35:36] There's got to be a lot of odor. [1:35:37] A lot of noxious odor, too. [1:35:39] Okay. [1:35:46] Because they won't be able to sit in there with that order and they won't be able to eat. [1:35:48] They're coming back in two hours. [1:35:50] You know they're going to take all I get. [1:35:51] We should have done it. [1:35:52] I've told you before we should have done that one over there. [1:35:55] Yeah. [1:35:55] Back over there. [1:35:56] Yeah. [1:35:56] When we was doing these two. [1:36:10] Oh, these. [1:36:10] Oh, they're all good, man. [1:36:10] Oh, that needs to work. [1:36:11] Yeah, they know. [1:36:11] They're seeing the mark. [1:36:12] I know. [1:36:12] I'll tell you. [1:36:38] We got a little bit down there, too, at the fireplace, I don't know. [1:36:49] I suppose there's some scratches down here. [1:36:52] There's scratches here in front of those doors. [1:36:56] Yeah, I'm doing it. [1:36:58] And it's all waxed up. [1:36:59] Yeah. [1:37:00] Yeah. [1:37:00] Yeah, that's stained, isn't it? [1:37:03] It's shiny. [1:37:04] Well, if you didn't stain it, it wouldn't get all the wax. [1:37:07] Yeah, that might do it. [1:37:08] Yeah. [1:37:09] There's nothing over on that side of it. [1:37:13] It makes scratches. [1:37:13] Yeah. [1:37:23] That's what I said before. [1:37:24] I don't know why they passed it down. [1:37:25] Because, oh, we was at it. [1:37:27] We should have gone along with it. [1:37:28] It was great at that. [1:37:29] It was good. [1:37:30] It was good. [1:37:31] It was good. [1:37:31] It was good. [1:37:32] It was good. [1:37:33] It was good. [1:37:33] It was good. [1:37:44] Yeah, it's all right. [1:37:45] Yeah, it looks good. [1:37:46] It makes you stand out. [1:37:47] Yeah, it makes you stand out and still not enough. [1:37:50] It makes it look like it's actually laid on there. [1:37:52] Yeah, like it's supposed to. [1:37:53] Yeah. [1:38:13] Can it be done? [1:38:14] Can we sleep? [1:38:15] Tomorrow? [1:38:16] We've got a long weekend. [1:38:19] He's here today. [1:38:22] The President's here today. [1:38:25] Right. [1:38:25] I think that's long. [1:38:27] No, we've got to put it off until Monday. [1:38:30] It has to be done today. [1:38:33] Well, it doesn't have to be. [1:38:34] You know, the president comes first. [1:38:35] Right. [1:38:35] We prefer to do this on Monday. [1:38:37] At least he will not be here on Monday. [1:38:39] We can't. [1:38:39] We won't be here on Monday. [1:38:40] He's going to be here on Monday. [1:38:42] We can't do it tomorrow. [1:38:43] I'd rather not do it today. [1:38:44] It's going to be obnoxious. [1:38:46] Let's put it off. [1:38:47] It's because other people don't like it. [1:38:49] I know they won't like it. [1:39:02] Okay. [1:39:02] Okay, sir. [1:39:02] Take care of that. [1:39:03] Yeah, tomorrow or Monday, huh? [1:39:04] Okay, sir. [1:39:04] We thought he had left last night. [1:39:06] So we got the wrong... [1:39:07] I know we started it with that stinking stuff and it ain't like... [1:39:30] We don't know. [1:39:30] We don't know. [1:39:30] We don't know. [1:39:51] Okay, we'll come back. [1:39:52] We'll come back tomorrow night. [1:39:53] Sometimes he's going to be here tomorrow night. [1:39:54] Okay, so okay then. [1:39:55] I wish we could do that before you guys started talking over there. [1:39:57] Yeah.
