[0:01] But Connie, I think, is trying to negate it.
[0:42] It's too far down the pike anyway, and anyway, I think it'll be good.
[0:46] I think it'll be good.
[0:47] I don't know why that goddamn Connie has to get into these things, but she's, because she didn't think of it.
[0:53] See, it's, Julie's schedule's being planned by other people now, at Julie's request.
[1:00] And Connie's people are totally incapable of planning that schedule.
[1:05] But you don't find... During what happens on television, you asked me about when we checked, they haven't called even Trisha and Julie to tell me what's going on.
[1:14] That whole big fan she's got over there.
[1:18] It's just uncanny.
[1:19] They just...
[1:20] They have not.
[1:23] We called, Marge and I called from the hospital.
[1:26] I talked to Julie and to... Trish, either one of them told me.
[1:36] sure do you want me to call to me and talk about it a little bit it's a way for us to get credit for the christmas thing that we've never gotten before you know part of it maybe that pat doesn't like to have julie
[1:57] We've got to have everything that we can get.
[2:04] And everything we can get at this point.
[2:07] But I know Bob, see Bob is, Julie is talking about it, about Paul and I.
[2:16] So Bob is going to talk to him.
[2:20] You can slip in and see Bob.
[2:23] Doctor, you'll be glad to hear it.
[2:26] Back him up.
[2:27] You should send her to East Park, Julie, any way you can.
[2:29] But also, you're gonna talk to, uh, to, uh...
[2:32] I don't know.
[2:33] I'm gonna have to get my hands up.
[2:38] Oh, I swear to God, it's hard for me to keep up with all this terror.
[2:41] Oh, it's terrible, isn't it?
[2:47] Yeah, I'll see you.
[2:48] I'll talk to Bob.
[2:48] I'll see you.
[3:31] I read this show and I'm looking forward to the show.
[3:37] Yes, I think it's an excellent way to show the life after Christmas.
[3:45] To show the nice, easy, soft part of it.
[3:49] And she is so warm and everyone loves her.
[3:51] I think it would be just great.
[3:53] Yeah, and even just having Julie on in any circumstance.
[4:00] She raises the other knife or something, and I was hoping to cut her off.
[4:06] She said, I've got to get a hold of this.
[4:07] I don't think it's being organized well enough.
[4:10] We've got to run these shows.
[4:11] Well, you know.
[5:24] I'll ask Bob if he thinks it's... Well...
[5:31] I'd be glad to.
[5:31] I think it would be great if people would love it.
[5:39] Say, Bob, I have Bill Rose here on the Julie thing, and if you need any backup on this, you know, she might get...
[5:46] But if you need any backup on that, you let her know, wait a minute.
[5:50] You...
[5:52] I feel strongly it should go forward.
[5:56] Yeah, fine.
[5:58] Well, just, we'll just have to tell Julie that we feel strongly and that would be very, very detrimental to our relations with TV.
[6:07] Yeah.
[6:09] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[6:12] Yeah, right, right, right.
[6:14] Well, okay then.
[6:16] You tell Julie, just think it's a good idea.
[6:20] And we get some editorial control, I suppose.
[6:22] No, they're not.
[6:30] Of course, the thing about Connie's not there, he's jealous.
[6:40] Somebody, Parker or somebody over here is doing the other thing.
[6:45] You see, that's what the problem is.
[6:46] Did you go and see Henry before he was slugging on beans?
[6:49] Whenever he's ready, does he hear?
[6:51] He's not going to stop us.
[6:54] Well, he's supposed to clear some things up before 11 o'clock tomorrow.
