Yeah.
Oh, I'm just waiting for Bob to get over here and come say anything.
Anything new?
Sure.
In your department?
Yeah.
Can he make breakfast?
No, it's all right.
It would be Monday.
Monday would be good.
Yeah.
Well, you could do it Saturday morning.
Well, fine.
All right.
That would be that.
But maybe breakfast is not the thing.
How about the... All right, fine.
Well, I'd rather do it when it's hot.
Could you come in...
I'll tell you, would he like to, uh... Is he free tonight?
Are you free?
Oh, no, he doesn't want to.
I tried to issue it.
Right, right, right.
Why don't you call him and see if he'd like to take a boat ride tonight?
Okay.
Fine.
Okay.
He said he's got some fascinating news.
I mean, analysis, not news.
Actually, it's analysis, not news.
He's not writing a file.
He said he wants to do it, but he doesn't do it.
He doesn't do it.
Got me back at 9.
Passed off.
That's a good one.
Very good.
Again, I'm touching up here.
I'll hold until Monday morning for breakfast.
Maybe for another Monday morning.
You see the thing sort of holding where it was.
Two Governors today, Kato and Bruce, who are sitting on my left and my left.
Over at the southern bank, they've got a lot of young people coming.
We're going to get some hostility.
They're just talking about Russia and China, and we'll get out of the way.
Okay.
I've got two of them.
I think food is coming out.
There must be other things coming out.
That's a good one.
That's good.
Yeah, I don't know.
They're worth a damn what you're talking about.
Did that come out?
No.
If you told me eight.
God.
That's right.
Do you want some stock?
What about the breakfast meeting?
Give me money for two scams and you take care of the press.
Oh, wait a minute.
This Tuesday.
I have no money for two scams.
No, scamming tonight.
Scamming.
No, we do scamming tonight.
And Harris, Monday or Tuesday, if this fellow, well, Harris won't be using the record, but if Monday or Tuesday, I'm sure he will.
They had broken it off my chain.
I was pretty well aware.
It was just perfectly within me.
And the power hooker didn't really set him right up the damn wall.
And he did get across the low stand, but I was just damn careful and I never attacked him.
Yeah, yeah.
It's the way that came through, you know.
Her apartment.
She blows.
She's a fanatic on everything.
She's a fanatic when she blows.
Of course, I rather think she's a fanatic because of cold weather.
Well, you can check the scan if it's free.
