[0:01] Hi, how are you?
[0:26] Fine.
[0:26] This won't take long.
[0:26] I just want to...
[0:27] Sit down.
[0:27] I hope I didn't start you sick for that long, sir.
[0:28] Sit down.
[0:28] Sit down.
[0:28] Can you see me on the left?
[0:29] Not really.
[0:29] I can see you.
[0:29] I can see you.
[0:30] Right here.
[0:31] This is a, uh...
[0:53] I think he's about to go in the dirt.
[0:53] I think he's about to go in the dirt.
[0:54] I think he's about to go in the dirt.
[0:59] What you want to do is run this off.
[1:22] I'll be ready back in a quarter of a minute.
[1:23] That goes in down to there.
[1:57] This out comes to there.
[2:22] This stays in.
[2:23] This stays in.
[2:23] This stays in.
[2:23] This stays in.
[2:24] Every time he heads up here, they don't like that ever.
[2:58] Yeah, the people are doing tragedy.
[3:27] Yeah, and run it off at the same time.
[3:59] I have most of the time.
[4:19] Yeah, that's a great deal.
[4:19] We have two options.
[4:20] On the outside, they have about 20 minutes outside.
[4:21] You can't talk more than about 12 minutes.
[4:28] Thank you.
[4:52] I might need to do this one, but this will be a help.
[5:13] If I decide I'm going to read it, I'm going to run it off on a speech record for me, and then other countries can know I'm trying to do it for them.
[5:16] What?
[5:16] You can pack it up and put it on a speech record.
[5:17] Yeah.
[5:17] Okay.
[5:17] Do you want us to get it prepared for a meeting tonight?
[5:45] Have a wonderful day.
[6:03] Have a wonderful day.
[6:08] I had a phone call.
[6:41] Even has flowers.
[7:03] Why did you get those flowers?
[7:03] Your soul rolls out of mind.
[7:04] Because I came by with a gift from the car.
[7:05] You said I actually meant it.
[7:05] No, I didn't mean it.
[7:06] In the back.
[7:06] I'm waiting in the back.
[7:06] In the back.
[7:07] Looking out in the back.
[7:07] No one waiting in the back.
[7:09] Of course not.
[7:30] I'd be delighted if you did.
[7:31] You know what that is over there?
[7:32] Have you been there before?
[7:32] That's the famous, what do you call it?
[7:33] That's the Vietnam.
[7:33] That's one of the great black people.
[7:34] Made by the great Vietnamese people.
[7:35] Just over there.
[7:36] on the wall.
[7:56] Oh, I see.
[7:57] So that would be it.
[7:57] I mean, that probably could be us.
[7:58] I see.
[7:58] You guys.
[7:58] Well, it's not the magazine that's bothering me, but every little thing lines in with the same stuff.
[8:02] So I can see.
[8:02] Okay.
[8:02] You left a light flower.
[8:03] A child grew up with it.
[8:07] I like it when I'm loving the boxes, but I don't like the flowers.
[8:29] What flowers?
[8:30] You know, do you know when you have a patio over there, do you have strawberries?
[8:31] Well, there's strawberries growing.
[8:32] You know, the garden has a pan that's pretty high.
[8:33] It's pretty nice.
[8:33] It has holes in it, and each one of those holes has a strawberry plant growing in it.
[8:35] Right?
[8:35] Strawberries are growing in it.
[8:36] It's really nice.
[8:39] I notice them, but I'm not aware of the type.
[8:58] That's just something as a reward.
[9:10] He worked so hard, but he didn't go to anything.
[9:34] I heard all about it.
[9:34] Well, I didn't go to anything.
[9:35] Well, he didn't do it with them, but all of them told me to put it out.
[9:36] It works all the time.
[9:37] Oh, I didn't know that.
[9:37] I don't know.
[9:37] I don't know.
[9:38] All right.
[9:43] Thank you.
