Hello.
Daddy?
I just want to say hello to you.
Hi, how are you?
How's everything?
Are you at Phoenix?
I thought you should know we had a great reception in Norfolk.
That's what Mommy said.
She said there were 20,000 people?
Yeah, well, maybe 10, maybe 20.
It was a hell of a crowd.
Well, anyway, she said it was fantastic.
But there was an unfriendly face in the place.
I know.
Isn't that great?
Right, right.
And, uh, about the Watergate.
Right, right.
Because I thought that pretty put things in perspective.
Yeah, the Red Blake article.
Yeah.
That was a brilliant article, yeah.
How is Bebe?
Is he fine?
He's just fine, sweetie.
Yeah, did you see Bob last night?
The night before, I mean?
About Aplanol?
No, no, no, we didn't see him.
No.
Well, um, I, yeah, I think we really gotta fight this thing through, Daddy.
Don't you agree?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Is there any way that we can make it known that Mrs. Mitchell's nuts?
I don't know.
She is, though.
She's brought everything out of her mind.
Nothing we can do.
But that's just a part of it, sweetie.
And, you know, there are going to be more crap flying around.
But just remember, we're going to survive it, and we're going to beat them.
Yeah, that's the way to look at it.
Because we've got to do it for the country.
We've got to do it for the world.
That's what's involved.
I agree.
I couldn't agree more.
Right.
Mommy was very, very happy about the reception.
Well, it was great.
Yeah.
It was great.
Well, you have a good time there, and give them all my love.
I will, and you're really sweet to call.
Okay, sweetie.
Thanks.
Bye.
