[0:00] Thank you.
[0:15] Thank you.
[0:45] Thank you.
[1:25] Thank you.
[1:55] Well, these gentlemen have read it.
[1:57] I tell you this is really interesting.
[2:01] You always told me you'd later write to them and hurt them, you know.
[2:04] What did you do?
[2:05] You've been here, we've had hard times, haven't we?
[2:06] Well, we are promoted to write to them.
[2:08] That's one of the first things in our report this year.
[2:11] I saw that.
[2:11] It has to be.
[2:13] You've covered these papers.
[2:15] What do you think, sir?
[2:17] How do you do our lives?
[2:21] Really?
[2:22] We're doing pretty well.
[2:24] Well, we certainly have very good members.
[2:30] We're going to need a bunch of them at 1.30 now.
[2:32] Well, here you go.
[2:33] I want you to know that I delivered my address yesterday because there was an announcement for police.
[2:46] was made the day that we got to the exhibition.
[2:50] Now I want to be sure that this was complete.
[2:54] Now let me say, it was easy for us to do it because I usually learn that in weeks.
[3:02] So we just said, well, the weeks are correct.
[3:05] That's the way to get a front page story.
[3:06] We've got a lot of good television.
[3:08] You're all on TV.
[3:11] I can't make up my mind.
[3:13] I'm afraid that's me.
[3:15] But there was this big headline in the Star last night, I think.
[3:22] The president's a great year ahead of the president.
[3:28] They don't need to say that.
[3:29] I hope it's true.
[3:30] Hobart wrote it.
[3:32] You never know.
[3:33] You read him and you read this.
[3:38] Do they go to the same school?
[3:42] I'm not really wrong.
[3:43] I use this one so that you all can see.
[3:47] These boards are huge.
[3:58] See, you're the one who did this to me.
[4:01] Well, Miss James, the unit is just the right thing to do.
[4:07] Now, it should be, should I give it to these people.
[4:10] Oh, I'm just letting you know that it's all from a failure.
[4:15] Now it gets to you three.
[4:18] Now we have something for everybody else.
[4:22] Now I want to tell you what we're doing.
[4:24] Because, now the question is, we just gave you these hands.
[4:33] But, uh, it's only important.
[4:36] But, uh...
[4:40] Because, you know, and the budget, he said, you know, we don't have the money to get our license.
[4:46] All right, get them.
[4:47] He said, get out.
[4:48] And we got used.
[4:49] We didn't wait.
[4:50] But it was such a bullish report that the three counselors came up with that.
[4:56] And he said, you've done such a good job in seeing that the economy was so good.
[5:00] Of course, we give all the credit.
[5:04] We thought we could afford a little more for you.
[5:06] There's been a new king, you know.
[5:09] by our friends, what is that company?
[5:13] And you have the old president, President Tracee, but this is President Tracee, taken right off the carpet, miniaturized.
[5:24] And so that goes to every one of the ladies, and every one of the men.
[5:29] The men, because of where you work, Tim.
[5:33] I'm sure you have wives.
[5:35] If you don't have wives, you've got secretaries.
[5:37] Or girlfriends.
[5:39] The only rule here is if you give it to your secretary or girlfriend and you have a wife, don't tell your wife.
[5:45] Very wrong.
[5:47] So that's because it's a good reason to afford these.
[5:50] We're sending a bill tomorrow.
[5:53] It's worth reading.
[5:58] Well, there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.
[6:02] You might read me the background, but... That's not a new event.
[6:07] What's the first play going?
[6:11] Well, next year we're going to have a picture of the new event.
[6:17] Oh, yeah.
[6:25] When are we going to start?
[6:26] When are we going to start?
[6:53] What do you have?
[6:54] Something.
[6:54] I'll give it to you in a minute.
[6:56] It's not that bad.
[6:57] Well, you're not in charge.
[6:58] You're the man in charge.
[7:00] You're the man in charge.
[7:00] You're the man in charge.
[7:01] You're the man in charge.
[7:26] Thank you.
[7:50] Thank you.
[8:15] Well, I'll tell them.
[8:16] How many people?
[8:16] Alright.
[8:48] We have, we need two original people who have the same name.
[8:49] Okay, I already need one, and I don't know if that's a good idea.
[8:51] I don't know if that's a good idea.
[8:52] I don't know if that's a good idea.
[9:07] Thank you.
