I'll tell you that as soon as he comes in.

I think we better have Julie here.

You'd like to do it right here, you know, before you go to the EOB?

I think it's better.

All right.

I'm going to do that right after Rose works.

If I can just...

Yeah.

Well, no, I have doubt I will, but I just remember that it should come to that point.

The other thing is that, uh, I want that to come down some.

Now, uh, Mr. Willard Edwards, just celebrating his 50th year as a journalist at the Southern Tribune, he's coming to have lunch with Rose today.

Rose will be meeting with Mr. Edwards this year.

Do you want kids in here?

Of course not.
