Yeah.
Yes, sir.
My information apparently is correct.
I just talked to Takash, and he's having some problems.
He's got a temperature today and some sort of infection, so he won't be going until certainly tomorrow, or not today, probably not tomorrow, until Friday.
But I told Takash he's going to try to find out when he goes.
Now, if he doesn't go, Bob, do you think I should still go out to see him?
I don't know.
At least, well, I don't know.
Let me talk to Lukasz about that hospital.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm kind of, I don't know.
I mean, yet there's the other, I suppose another possibility would be to still go from here and just drop by helicopter at that hospital.
Maybe so, yeah.
Just drop into the damn place.
Mm-hmm.
Well, that can be...
Still wouldn't do that till Friday, though.
Friday.
Friday.
If you can have anybody that's trustworthy in the Secret Service, well, rather than, yeah, Secret Service, or could go out and just check to see whether there's a place for a helicopter landing near there or something.
Right.
Might be an idea.
Let me suggest another thing that... No, well, this thing I can give to Colson, so we'll let that go.
So we're all set.
Okay.
Would you mind seeing something else again?
Are they going to bring up any more papers or anything today?
Yeah, well, there'll be a car coming up with an agent shift.
I'm not sure if we've got anything for you, but we can send something you want.
Rather than the car.
I'd like for them to bring the big dog up, Manolo's in back.
Oh, sure.
Not all three because we don't have anybody to handle him here.
Right.
But it'd be good for him, and then I'd have a little, you know, when I go for a walk, I could take him.
Could they send him up?
Yep.
And, uh... We'll have him do that.
And, uh, in fact, if you're gonna bring the helicopter, you could put him on that.
Right.
Fine.
Okay.
Okay.
