Yeah?

Hi.

Hi, Joey.

I wondered on these pins of, uh, the, uh, you know, Raleigh's pictures, if you think we ought to have you shoot one of me working on these, you'll be on a press conference.

Well, I'm over here sitting in the chair, and then let me shoot one.

Don't let him know it's on time.

You think that's a good idea?

All right.

Well, you can call and tell him to come over and shoot some.

Yeah, right.

He can get the Lincoln Room one, too.

I won't be there tonight.

Yeah, but you can tell him that he can have that one, too, and I'll put a spoiler over it.

All right, come on, everything's good.

I won't be over for dinner tonight, because I have to work.

So you and Mom have your time.

So we'll go to Camp David tomorrow, sorry, and you, can you go?

Okay.

Oh, of course you do, that's right.

The way you come up.

Yeah.

I appreciate you going through that.

I think I should.

Yeah.

Well, hey, but that way, I talked to all of them, and he delighted with the plans, and he said part of it will work, and he's working on the solar panel and everything, but they don't do it, and they will work it.

It's one way to make it work, but...

Well, oh yeah, and that time we're going to have a young boss, Andrews, who will have his first assignment, the editing of anything prepared for you, Mom.

So, and he's the best on that.

He's so young.

He's so young, and that's good.

So you're afraid of what he's prepared for.

And I told him, Mom, he's prepared for it.

He's ready to read.

Yeah, we've got him in here.

All three of them.

Okay, Eddie.

Bye.
