[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] Miss Woods.
[0:02] Good morning.
[0:03] Hi, Rose.
[0:03] How are you?
[0:04] I wondered if you would call Dr. Chase.
[0:18] And if you would call and find out how long it takes.
[0:22] I think they said a half an hour.
[0:23] Oh, okay.
[0:25] Well, ask him.
[0:27] I don't know whether he likes to come in early.
[0:29] Still, if I could say do it, say it, come in and do it, say at 8 o'clock, have the 8 o'clock appointment on Friday, if that's convenient for him.
[0:40] If not, I could do it, say at 10.30 or something like that.
[0:45] You know what I mean?
[0:56] All right.
[0:56] And then should I let somebody, whoever's working on your schedule, let them know?
[1:01] Yeah, just tell them up here what time is good.
[1:11] In other words, 8 or 10.30 would be fine with me.
[1:15] All right.
[1:15] 8 or 10.30, and we'll do that.
[1:18] Now the other thing I would like you to find out if you would, Rose,
[1:22] I think he'd prefer 8.
[1:24] Remember, he always used to take me at 8 o'clock.
[1:27] I would think he would, because then there's no delay.
[1:29] He's changed his habits, but that keeps out of his other ways.
[1:35] Would you check to see whether the firm is going to be in on Friday, or do they take a holiday?
[1:41] I don't recall what they used to do Thanksgiving Day weekend, do you?
[1:45] No, I don't.
[1:46] Well, a lot of places do take the long weekend, but I don't really remember what they do.
[1:51] Yeah, just find out discreetly if they do.
[1:54] When I go to New York, I thought that it would be a nice touch just to drop by there.
[1:58] I haven't been there since I left, see, for good reasons.
[2:00] But I think now it will be a very nice thing to do.
[2:04] So check that to see what time the firm, if the firm is going to, if they're going to be around, see, around, say,
[2:14] two o'clock in the afternoon or something like that.
[2:17] And if you could, on Friday.
[2:20] All right.
[2:20] If they're not, I don't want them to make a— I can find out without really anybody knowing why I'm asking.
[2:26] Yeah, sure.
[2:27] Let's see.
[2:29] Okay.
[2:31] And suddenly Bebe's going to come up and go with us.
[2:33] Julie worked that out.
[2:34] So that'll be very nice so that she'll have somebody with her.
[2:39] And Paul Keyes said, you know, he can make it that next weekend.
[2:43] Yeah, well, we're going to try to— But then I'm filming that weekend.
[2:46] We're trying to get that set up so we can get all these things finished so I can.
[2:50] But see these cabinet people, so many of them have been on vacations and running around every place that I just couldn't get the end to get set.
[2:57] But they'll be all through by Monday or Tuesday, I think.
[3:01] But then I have two more days to do.
[3:04] Okay, fine.
[3:04] You just go find out all those things.
[3:08] The other thing that I could do, I was thinking on Ryland, I could pop by his— Well, the problem is that when we told him we didn't need him this week, he went to Vermont, which was why I had— Oh, I see.
[3:21] No, no, no.
[3:22] If I was uptown, no, no, no, I don't need him at all.
[3:24] I just thought that if I was down there, his office would get a hell of a kick out of it.
[3:28] Yeah, they would, except, you know, his daughter's up there.
[3:31] Great, great.
[3:33] We'll pass that then.
[3:34] All I need to know is where the firm—you call me back on that, will you?
[3:37] Yes.
[3:37] And just call me back in the dentist, too.
[3:39] Then when you get the two off, I get OK. OK.
