I had Mayor Dunn on the line, sir.
Hello.
Mr. President?
Well, they tell me you're going in for that open-heart surgery, and I know that you don't need any good wishes because you're going to make it, but I saw your son last night and admired his red beard, and I said that you tell your dad to have that old spirit.
Well, you'll never know what kind of medicine you just gave me by making this go all right.
I deeply appreciate it, sir.
Well, they all work these days.
You know, these doctors are such geniuses that when they've got a tough Irishman to work on, there's no problem.
Well, thank you so much, Mr. President, and I'll pass the word on to my family.
I know it's going to be tough, you know what I mean, but you'll do it.
You'll make it.
You know how proud I was to be part of your team, and congratulations again, and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a successful term.
And Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you.
