[0:00] Yeah.
[0:08] Hi, Ron.
[0:09] After I finish with Claire today, about 4 o'clock, I think we'll work it out, probably, so you can come over and do a little shout-out and come on the defense.
[0:27] That's Mexico and Haiti.
[0:27] And then we'll try to...
[0:28] Now, for the picture, I'm going to need the EOB.
[0:49] I'll give you a ring when we finish.
[0:50] And you can have them step out, and they can take away your picture, and you can walk them down the steps.
[0:52] I'll have them give you a different kind of shot than if you're sitting in a building on the spot.
[0:54] I'll have you get along with your boys.
[0:54] You'll be all right today.
[0:57] All right.

[1:37] Good.
[1:41] Well, that's sort of the theme that's beginning to come out of it.

[2:05] Are you going to announce this next thing before it comes through?
[2:06] Good.
[2:06] Fine.
[2:09] All right.
[2:10] I'm told when they ask, they're going to be in the other countries and say, well, not this time, this time.
[2:16] OK. Bye.
