[0:03] I think you leave about 6 o'clock in the morning.
[0:15] No, sir, I leave about 9 or 10.
[0:20] Why don't you go in the very open area?
[0:21] No, sir, because I need to wait in the hot tub because he's out and he's chanting.
[0:25] I don't want to stare at him.
[0:26] So, I'm going to walk.
[0:27] Oh, yeah.
[0:27] Well, I read through the book of Japan.
[0:28] I think it's a very good job.
[0:30] It's thorough and so forth.
[0:31] I've got to do this.
[0:31] I think the very delicate problem we've got is that at this point, it's very important that the soldiers, it seems to me that that dam thing is covered, covered in other words,
[1:01] so they began to tighten it up until finally it was done.
[1:23] They apparently had reacted that they were there, moving on your trip, certainly with some knowledge that it was coming.
[1:25] Mansfield was making, I think he came to me and told me, you know, yeah, yeah.
[1:48] You see, they reacted better than Moscow did.
[1:49] They had known for several days.
[1:53] Which, of course, they would get the only way out of it.
[2:14] They chopped the bastards in Paris, and that's all.
[2:16] And I was interested in one little bit of history, where they thought that if you can't date the Russians, we should be giving it to them then, and you draw a lot of some agreement with them.
[2:24] I'm sure I'll find a secret room when I've heard of it.
[2:49] I just wish I didn't bring a goddamn thing.
[2:50] You can't do that.
[2:50] Did he?
[2:50] No.
[2:50] No.
[2:50] Did he?
[2:51] I do feel that he might be an apartment.
[2:51] I think they're...
[2:52] It's awfully tough to put a boat on the ocean and not be able to keep it up on our side of the ferry.
[3:15] They sent Sheehan up to North Korea for the purposes of getting them to use their premises in the river.
[3:18] Well, I pray that they'd spike through on my world of passengers, in a sense, for the
[3:22] pretty provincial in some ways.
[3:42] That's suspicious.
[3:43] You know, well, it wasn't really quite a job.
[3:43] You say, Steve, it's a tribute to him.
[3:44] Don't, don't do it.
[3:45] It's really something.
[3:45] It wasn't a name of a job.
[3:46] It wasn't a president.
[3:47] We must make this huge, you know, build a, is it Marshall Green, or what, is it the leadership?
[4:06] Henry, you see, Henry, they're bright people.
[4:07] These are bright people.
[4:07] Come down by them.
[4:08] You've got to use bright people.
[4:08] What's he got?
[4:09] Don't go there.
[4:14] This is nothing.
[4:14] I don't know.
[4:15] I don't know.
[4:15] I'm going to leave tomorrow, or tomorrow.
[4:21] He believes in it, I'm sure.
[4:48] There we go.
[4:51] Try it.
[4:55] Okay, on a good credit.
