Yeah, I'm just calling to see how you're doing after your operation.
Well, not a, not a thing, I mean, yeah.
Tell me, did the company, did they, did they, they came off a rock?
Good.
Are you, are you in the city?
They want to hear lunches a little later in the spring.
That's right with you.
Yeah.
I'm going to go out to California.
I have to go, not this year, but next week for a week, and then I'll be back here right after this.
Easter recess, I think, would be a good time.
Is that right with you?
Let everybody be back in the kitchen.
The kitchen's good about then.
Goodbye.
Good to see you.
I'm fine.
How was your, did they work out, did they come up with a little contrast in your dish?
You didn't.
You didn't eat it, did you?
It was bad?
Listen, you deserved it, believe me.
I did my best to look brash and frantic on it.
I called Eddie Hayter and thanked him for taking on CBS.
I thought that was disgraceful what they did to Frantic House.
Kidding.
Wasn't that awful?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't worry about that.
I just want to work.
I want to work for my friends and I want to work for the military.
You betcha lot.
Bye.
