Did you survive the night?
Oh, does that make a lot of noise?
That's wonderful.
We all make a lot of noise, don't we?
Never had a better sleep in my life.
Yeah.
Well, hey.
Well, we, uh... Lovely.
Well, we just, uh... Just so glad you could come down.
Well, we've been touring around this house and everything.
Great honor, the greatest honor anybody could ever have.
More heaven's fairer, better, more greatest hosts and hostesses.
And I wonder, to repeat what I just said, for heaven's sake, take care of yourself and don't work too hard.
Because you've got five more years to die.
And twelve.
The filthy ones will be here.
Oh, there it is.
It used to be at the Capitol when he was vice president.
Well, that's where it is.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.

She's very good.
We must be running low.
God bless you both.
Wow.
We appreciate you.
Coming down, we had great fun out in our young sex.
We gave our best for Mount Spitzco and Pleasantville and all the other lovely places.
Well, it's just beautiful, beautiful memories.
We were rather overcome by it all.
Do you have a car?
I don't have a car, no.
I don't think so.
I think we're supposed to get a car here.
Oh, sure, we encourage that.
Sure, sure.
Come on, you've got a chance to get the best when you're on this place.
Goodbye, and we're just so nice to see you.
And, uh, all your friends.
Well...
