[2:44:03] President Max Friedrichsdorf and Tom Perl, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President,
[2:44:27] Thank you, Mr. President.
[2:44:34] Yes, sir.
[2:44:44] I went to a small, large college in southern Indiana, Franklin College.
[2:44:54] Right, right.
[2:44:57] Time is all that matters.
[2:45:01] All right, we've got you for a while.
[2:45:06] Oh, we've got a hard laugh here.
[2:45:08] Let's get you right here.
[2:45:10] Now you just sit right there.
[2:45:13] How do you do it?
[2:45:14] You've got to wear that on Sunday for your wife or girl, whichever you're closer to.
[2:45:20] Thanks, guys.
[2:45:22] Don't tell me you're not together.
[2:45:25] There you go.
[2:45:30] Oh, yes, it's all right.
[2:45:32] It's all right.
[2:45:36] All right.
[2:46:13] to Archonowski, his wife, and his counselor.
[2:46:18] How do you do?
[2:46:19] He's from Germany.
[2:46:23] All of these centers love people.
[2:46:27] Yes, yes, you're right on that.
[2:46:32] All right.
[2:46:34] All right.
[2:46:35] All right.
[2:46:36] All right.
[2:46:40] All right.
[2:46:44] All right.
[2:46:46] All right.
[2:46:47] All right.
[2:46:48] All right.
[2:46:49] All right.
[2:46:50] All right.
[2:46:56] This is a dentist in California?
[2:46:58] Yes.
[2:46:59] She was such a woman.
[2:47:00] She got the marriage, the residency of a historian.
[2:47:07] You have the name?
[2:47:08] Yes.
[2:47:08] Thank you.
[2:47:20] And also it's spelled the way my middle name is and my mother's name is.
[2:47:26] It's not an easy job.
[2:47:28] And it's actually, as he told me, he was a waiter.
[2:47:30] They were all waiters.
[2:47:34] But I'm very interested.
[2:47:39] This is from?
[2:47:41] I'm so glad to have that.
[2:47:45] I was curious, isn't that nice?
[2:47:49] I'm sure they've already found some stuff out here.
[2:47:51] Except for the bridge.
[2:47:51] I didn't get anything with what they wanted to live with, sir.
[2:47:59] That's a problem.
[2:48:00] The smart ones are out.
[2:48:25] Are you coming too?
[2:48:27] I don't know.
[2:48:28] She's going to sit with Julia and David.
[2:48:31] Oh, you're going to sit with women?
[2:48:33] They're going to sit with Julia and David.
[2:48:35] I'm going to sit with Julia and David.
[2:48:38] You're going to sit with Mr. Affleck now.
[2:48:41] Oh my goodness, you have a good tie.
[2:48:47] Oh yes, are you a German?
[2:48:51] Uh-huh.
[2:48:53] We accept you.
[2:48:56] Right.
[2:49:05] Wait a moment, what is the, what part of the journey is this?
[2:49:09] I come from Vienna.
[2:49:11] Oh, yes.
[2:49:12] What do you mean, the U-boat, you know?
[2:49:17] Oh, yes.
[2:49:17] It's good for children.
[2:49:18] Oh, it's a great story.
[2:49:20] One of the funnest things about U-boats is that they're all the same.
[2:49:23] You've been back.
[2:49:23] You've seen this?
[2:49:25] Yes.
[2:49:25] You know, they never really found out the U-boat was this, which is really scary.
[2:49:29] They're a good thing.
[2:49:30] I know.
[2:49:30] The industrial complex is built into all the ideas that I was saying.
[2:49:32] It's the most valuable thing.
[2:49:35] Well, was you in charge of the show?
[2:49:38] Oh, you got me.
[2:49:39] I'm not giving up.
[2:49:40] I've been out for three and a half years.
[2:49:42] Three and a half years of coming out from behind the bush.
[2:49:45] I have suffered from a form of DDT poisoning since coming out of the bush the other day.
[2:49:51] We've got an agriculture show up.
[2:49:54] I was out there checking your weeds.
[2:49:56] The air station, Mr. President, I was behind that weed.
[2:50:00] Oh, I see.
[2:50:02] Do you live in, where do you live?
[2:50:06] I live in Westwood.
[2:50:08] Westwood.
[2:50:08] Oh, you're very close to where you go.
[2:50:11] Beautiful downtown.
[2:50:12] No, beautiful downtown is across there.
[2:50:14] I know, you've got to talk to them.
[2:50:16] If you chase across the... Not that.
[2:50:18] Not that.
[2:50:18] Depends on how you shake.
[2:50:20] What's the word?
[2:50:21] You don't have much longer to do.
[2:50:23] When we get it.
[2:50:24] It's now.
[2:50:25] I see it.
[2:50:26] You're close to the sea now.
[2:50:28] Well, we can see it below here.
[2:50:29] We can see it right there.
[2:50:30] That's where the lights are now.
[2:50:31] No, we don't have that.
[2:50:33] We only do it this way.
[2:50:34] We go to San Diego.
[2:50:35] We go to San Diego.
[2:50:37] You drive down.
[2:50:37] We drive down most of the inches and then you fly down.
[2:50:43] What's the matter with you?
[2:50:44] That's her.
[2:50:45] What do you do when you get out there?
[2:50:48] To the zoo.
[2:50:49] The zoo is probably the dangerous stuff.
[2:50:50] But if you go to walk the beach, you're not leaving my own time.
[2:50:54] I said that to me.
[2:50:55] You go to the zoo, the zoo is everything.
[2:50:56] Of course, it's a great zoo.
[2:50:58] I'm told it's one of the places where the pines can grow.
[2:51:02] I have to correct that.
[2:51:05] The time is around the time.
[2:51:09] Around the time.
[2:51:10] I can't say it in English.
[2:51:13] You are right.
[2:51:14] And around the time, I knew I was...
[2:51:15] I was there.
[2:51:16] You go by the... You go by the...
[2:51:18] You go by our place and send one.
[2:51:19] Oh, we'd like to get you an answer.
[2:51:20] That's what I hear from some of the days.
[2:51:22] Next time you ever get it, I know you can drive it.
[2:51:24] I love the chance to be on the beach.
[2:51:26] There's a beautiful beach.
[2:51:27] Last time I had the beach, it was lovely because it's not as big.
[2:51:29] That's six miles from it.
[2:51:30] It's big and it's trampled into some time.
[2:51:32] Walk on the beach.
[2:51:32] It's super nice to be on the beach.
[2:51:35] Thank you for speaking so much.
[2:51:36] We were very thrilled when the net opened up.
[2:51:44] This is the seal that the president's in the floor.
[2:51:50] That's the mark of this room.
[2:51:53] You get one of these bows.
[2:51:54] But you don't have to wear shirts.
[2:51:58] You don't have to wear shirts.
[2:52:00] They look very expensive, but you don't have to report them.
[2:52:12] But that's not probably what makes you human.
[2:52:16] Did you have a parent?
[2:52:17] Yeah, you were supposed to have a parent.
[2:52:20] Anybody that gets in here gets a gift.
[2:52:23] It's good that you make so many people happy.
[2:52:26] I mean, I always say that to my old people, friends of the older generation.
[2:52:33] I mean, you make a lot of people who you care about the most happy.
[2:52:42] Do you like it?
[2:52:43] Do you like it?
[2:52:44] I enjoy the sound of it.
[2:52:48] I enjoy seeing people smile and everything.
[2:52:52] Do you like the light?
[2:52:54] I like the light.
[2:52:56] I like the light.
[2:52:57] I like the light.
