Oh, Al, I forgot the most important thing.
I just read him a message.
He doesn't mention calling his ambassador.
He says he doesn't want to hear it.
So, I wonder if maybe you ought to just give the ambassador a call and get him to stay over here now.
Fine, do it.
I'll get him to stay over here.
I think that if you want me there, I'll be ready to come.
All right, do you think you want me to go there or not?
