How are you doing?

All right, now he comes in here.

Jim, this is Thorstein.

Jim, I mean Chuck.

Yes.

He'll be here.

He'll pick up his entrance.

Okay.

Following him.

Leading him.

Not leading him, but following him.

Losing him.

Losing Chappell.

Positioning himself over that corner.

And he almost got himself killed.

I'll just knock on the doorway more or less.

I'll let him enter.

Don't come in until after your drive.

I've seen him way, way at two feet since he's come in.

Right now I'm here.

First of all, you've got to take a read of these bulbs.

They're not 61s.

The president sits there in the high chair.

His adjutant sits here.

All of these people will be occupied, and most of the others.

There will be about 35 people in here.

I don't know who else of importance is going to talk, but obviously we want to concentrate.

I don't know.

How many seats are in here?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,

Well, there are more than 35 chairs in here, so hopefully, Chuck, hopefully there will be a few gaps in here.

Well, if there are not, and there are three gaps down there, then maybe you can get...

Mark Wood or John Scali or someone who's here, I'll be outside there.

I was looking earlier, and Randy said we might have to be quick now.

There are people sitting there.

I won't take this.

Everybody's standing in front of me.

I can't do that.

I'll stay over there.

You don't have to.

There's nothing wrong with that.

And I can't make your move.

Slow, very slowly here.

The president will open the meeting and talk for about 10 minutes, and then turn it over to tonight's president, who will continue our conversation.

We'll have about 10 minutes each, and then we'll have a little bit of this.

We'll try to see...

But you better be sure to come in here with a brand new one.

Where am I coming from?

As we go on.

And I need it because I think it's going to be a good night.

I mean, what do we have to do?

Now you don't need to do anything.

You're going to end up in a lot of pieces.

I apply.

Thank you very much.

In fact, Chuck, if you get in here ahead of time, which I'm sure you can, you might grab a few inserts.

There isn't much, but I guess maybe I could use them.

Maybe you could get in here early for the present.

Yeah, let's see.

Okay.

You might make a little, when you get this, make your own little additional notes.

But you will have, let's go home behind me, I think, until nearly 10 o'clock, so you should have a good half an hour in here with nobody along the line.

Where is the mystery room in the hostel room?

Oh, thank you, please.

Well, how's the reading in here?

Really?

Well, is it going to be the same if it's a dark gray day?

That's good to hear.

This guy white, your truck is going to be the wind truck.

He's locked here.

But you're over here, you know.

You have a priority monitor.

I can probably decide.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

And probably people sitting here, too, don't know the monitor.

All right.

When the president leaves, he'll count him out, Joe.

All right.

And he'll follow us.

He'll follow back.

Why not?

Okay, so...

It's the same thing every first.

So then when we look at my magazine...

When my magazine gets down, the president's going to be on top.

And we're going to leave.

Well, if he says we'll talk about an operation, I mean, I got to get going again.

You know?

All right.

Let me see if I can cut it, though.

Because, uh, well...

I don't know.

Sound.

No problem.

You'll just have to arrange that.

No problem.
