Oh, you went back.
Oh, the reason I called was that Mrs. Nixon was going back at 7 and then I wanted to tell you that you could go with her because I didn't want anybody to miss their New Year's Eve at home.
Oh, fine.
Well, I'll tell her then.
Fine.
Okay, fine.
Have a lot of fun.
Don't drink too much.
Yeah, yeah.
You can drink some.
You got any of that Chinese wine?
Unfortunately, yes.
I won't drink it, though.
It's okay.
But have fun.
Bye.
