[2:50] And I came all the way.
[2:50] There were no traffic problems.
[2:51] I didn't go down for 25 minutes.
[2:52] Where we were, something like 20 minutes.
[2:53] I was at the subway once in Russia.
[2:53] That was the last time.
[2:54] After that, we could stay later.

[3:02] Yeah, I like to go to New York.
[3:13] What you miss about it is that New York is a great city, like New York.
[3:20] There are not many great cities in the United States.
[3:21] I would say New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles.
[3:23] They're all charming cities.
[3:24] New Orleans is charming, and Charleston, South Carolina is one of the great charming cities.

[4:30] I thought that would have been a marvelous thing to do for you.
[4:33] But we're going to take your headlines as such if you do.
[4:34] They do seem to know that you're in a California place, you know.
[4:36] I don't like it here, you know.
[4:36] You see, you could have paid them.
[4:37] You could have gotten beat shots, you know.
