[0:01] Yeah.
[0:02] Yes, sir.
[0:04] My information apparently is correct.
[0:06] I just talked to Takash, and he's having some problems.
[0:10] 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.
[0:22] But I told Takash he's going to try to find out when he goes.
[0:25] Now, if he doesn't go, Bob, do you think I should still go out to see him?
[0:28] I don't know.
[0:31] At least, well, I don't know.
[0:32] Let me talk to Lukasz about that hospital.
[0:35] Yeah.
[0:37] Yeah.
[0:38] I'm kind of, I don't know.
[0:39] 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.
[0:47] Maybe so, yeah.
[0:49] Just drop into the damn place.
[0:50] Mm-hmm.
[0:54] Well, that can be...
[0:55] Still wouldn't do that till Friday, though.
[0:56] Friday.
[0:57] Friday.
[0:59] 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.
[1:13] Right.
[1:13] Might be an idea.
[1:17] Let me suggest another thing that... No, well, this thing I can give to Colson, so we'll let that go.
[1:25] So we're all set.
[1:26] Okay.
[1:27] Would you mind seeing something else again?
[1:29] Are they going to bring up any more papers or anything today?
[1:34] Yeah, well, there'll be a car coming up with an agent shift.
[1:36] I'm not sure if we've got anything for you, but we can send something you want.
[1:40] Rather than the car.
[1:41] I'd like for them to bring the big dog up, Manolo's in back.
[1:44] Oh, sure.
[1:45] Not all three because we don't have anybody to handle him here.
[1:49] Right.
[1:49] 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.
[1:54] Could they send him up?
[1:55] Yep.
[1:56] And, uh... We'll have him do that.
[1:59] And, uh, in fact, if you're gonna bring the helicopter, you could put him on that.
[2:03] Right.
[2:04] Fine.
[2:04] Okay.
[2:05] Okay.
