Yeah, this is Major Brennan.
Yeah, just a minute, sir.
Wait, wait.
Oh, all right.
I'm not calling anybody.
I want to talk to you.
Okay, now I know.
I was going to ask to be the president.
Oh, please do that.
No, the other one is, just forget that for a second.
Okay.
Keep it up, Mark.
All right.
The situation is, is we're getting an incoming call from the Ivory Coast, from President LeFleur Bonnier, who's the president of Ivory Coast.
The line on which I'm on now, the president will be on.
But the other presidential line is where the interpreter will be.
Right.
And the call will be when it comes in.
I'll check this line, and Chip will check that.
You just tell me that President LaFrontenay is here, and I'll hand this phone to the President.
Okay.
It's supposed to be exactly what happened.
All right.
All right.
