I'd like for him to come to California on Tuesday.
Arriving Tuesday afternoon after 2 a.m. C.
And he'll be here in two to three months, right?
So we'll come back sometime and ask him to do that, okay?
Great.
Great, huh?
Well, if I get away, I don't come into work, though, so.
But anyway, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, good timing, I hope we'll see.
Anyway, but that's really great.
I know the fireplace would be marvelous.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Yeah, well, if I came, I just, if I have to work, I'd work better to keep escape.

But you're gonna be up on the 26th, are you?
That's great speed.

Up here?
Marvels, right?
We love them.
Very supportive.
We finally got it, did we?
Did you get a copy of it?
It's a nice letter, isn't it?
Did they buy it?

He's a good man.
It's good for him to know that.
All right.
Okay.
Thank you.
