[2:32:09] Let's stop on that.
[2:32:11] I think it's such a beautiful ride.
[2:32:13] Do you want to read it for me?
[2:32:19] There's a seal here.
[2:32:23] See the pretty flowers?
[2:32:25] You saw those on the other dimension.
[2:32:34] There's no flowers here.
[2:32:37] No, I mean out the window, out in the garden.
[2:32:45] I'm sorry.
[2:32:46] Hey, get off.
[2:32:47] Get off the train for the tracking.
[2:32:49] Oh, I'm sorry.
[2:32:52] I'm coming across the field.
[2:33:01] Mr. Grissom?
[2:33:03] I'd like for you to meet Congressman Carlson.
[2:33:06] Well, how are you?
[2:33:07] We know each other very well.
[2:33:09] Good to see you.
[2:33:10] Is that Mother Carol, your friend?
[2:33:12] She's 21?
[2:33:13] She doesn't look that old.
[2:33:16] Like my older girl, she just looks, who's now 26, and she looks 15.
[2:33:21] You were very gracious when Chuck had the troop in L.A. That's right.
[2:33:26] That's right.
[2:33:28] You were there.
[2:33:29] I never thought I'd be in Congress.
[2:33:31] Yeah, well...
[2:33:33] Well, I must say, while we're off, of course, glad to welcome you here.
[2:33:40] It's such a tragedy, your wife.
[2:33:42] Unbelievable.
[2:33:44] Unbelievable that this could happen.
[2:33:46] Well, you're a strong man and you're a strong girl.
[2:33:48] Right.
[2:33:49] That's right.
[2:33:50] She's here now.
[2:33:51] Now, let's get a picture.
[2:33:53] That's what we do when we do a congressman.
[2:33:55] Come on over here.
[2:33:56] First, you alone.
[2:33:58] Like this.
[2:33:59] This will be all right.
[2:34:02] All of you.
[2:34:07] Good, now when you come over, we'll get our daughter in here.
[2:34:13] Right between, so I think we should have you on the end.
[2:34:16] Now, here's our daughter.
