[0:08] And it's telling us to delay his flight, his return.
[0:12] So he arrives about 5 o'clock, you know what I mean?
[0:17] Sleep in.
[0:18] And he will see Rogers immediately.
[0:21] I think what we have to do is see him together and give him a little slap on the back.
[0:27] And then he and I will have dinner with him and Haig.
[0:33] And just the three of us together.
[0:35] We won't announce that, but he and Haig and I will have dinner together.
[0:40] And we'll have a talk.
[0:42] Okay.
[0:42] But he should not arrive when I'm dead on Atlanta.
[0:45] It would be a hell of a mistake.
[0:48] Talk to the lay there.
[0:51] No, no, no.
[0:53] The lay has had him arrive around five o'clock.
