Yeah.
Mr. President?
Yeah.
I have the mayor for you, sir.
Yeah.
Go ahead, please.
Hello?
Mr. President?
I just want to thank you for that great job, Frank.
You came through and you said you would.
Mr. President, it was a tremendous victory.
I'll tell you.
I'm so proud.
We're sure glad to have, you know, just to think, Frank, to carry Pennsylvania by that kind of a margin.
It's terrific.
They can't find Chap yet.
Can't find him, huh?
Great, great, great.
I gave him some shots tonight.
Looks like about at the present time all we've lost is Massachusetts.
Exactly right.
Colleges, I guess.
Yes, sir.
But I was so proud.
I've never been more happy in my life.
Well, I'll tell you.
I was speaking tonight briefly in the Oval Office.
I was thinking of you and all those people that came through and accounted.
Well, I'll tell you, we're proud of you, and we're going to try to do a good job for you.
Thank you, Mr. President.
And just one of these days, when I get my thoughts collected, we'll sit down, put our feet up,
Tell a few lies to each other.
Right, sir.
And get some rest, Mr. President.
Yeah, yeah.
Why do you think I'm a governor?
Oh, you know, I gave him a shot tonight.
Yeah.
He thought he was vicious tonight.
Yeah.
The way he talked?
Yes, sir.
And I told the... Yeah.
I went on the air and told him that.
He didn't ask for, you know, no unity.
Nothing.
I know.
He was...
Unity on his terms.
Yes, sir.
But, sir, you were tremendous.
Well, anyway, good to talk to you.
Give my best to Mrs. Rizzo.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
