[0:07] How are you?
[0:09] Nice to see you.
[0:11] Hey, look at that.
[0:12] Oh, you're really decked out like you ought to be.
[0:15] All right.
[0:18] Now, let me see this book here.
[0:19] Show me.
[0:20] Look at this now.
[0:22] It's a day show.
[0:43] Well, I mean, your man, Percy Rose.
[0:48] My man, Percy.
[1:13] My mother has a birthday.
[1:18] I think August is your ninth day.
[1:22] My ninth day?
[1:23] Mm-hmm.
[1:23] I'm sorry.
[1:42] We'll see.
[1:43] We'll see.
[1:44] We'll see.
[1:44] You will get a letter for sure.
[1:47] If I can make it, I'll call her
[2:15] And then someday when the library gets, there was a library out in Beacon, they've got a hole in the ground now.
[2:23] So I know that there's going to be something we've worked on there for.
[2:26] I hope maybe there's something we can do.
[2:30] When will it be ready, you say?
[2:33] Well, I think, yeah.
[2:42] I'll do something.
[2:43] Let me say, let's pick a time.
[2:45] We could pick the best time.
[2:46] Maybe it might be better to do it other way.
[3:10] But why don't you keep in touch with Rose with regard to the best dates for various things.
[3:16] They have to have something to do.
[3:17] They have late callers.
[3:19] Would you consider having the mayor come out and talk to you?
[3:24] Sure, sure.
[3:26] Absolutely.
[3:27] Sure, sure.
[3:27] Check over to the staff.
[3:28] I'll have to talk to the fellows over there.
[3:38] See, they're doing an integration with the library.
[3:41] And then this one thing, they're going to call it a research center.
[3:49] And I think it's so great because it will house everything from the last 30 years, which young people say they can't find, concentrate.
[4:08] And all that in the... Well, I'll do something with it.
[4:11] It depends on the best time and so forth.
[4:14] We'll try to work it out sometime.
[4:17] Well, Mary Walker said what he'd like to do would be a dinner.
[4:23] And because the upkeep of the...
[4:39] Good.
[4:40] We'll check it out.
[4:45] To cooperate in some way.
[4:50] Oh, let's see.
[4:53] There's something from China.
[5:21] I was going to say, you know, when your group was here, we were making it worth enough, but not quite as much.
[5:27] Well, also, when you get down there, there was going to be a lot of, you know, different things.
[5:34] But right now, Miami is a miserable time at this time of year.
[5:41] And I think that's the...
[5:42] It really is.
[5:43] I can't do anything.
[5:43] I was very excited.
[5:56] That's what it is.
[5:57] That's what it is.
[5:58] She's got the aging permission, which is great.
[6:03] And every time she's through, I mainly take everything you can, TV or interviews and so forth, and just say sort of personal things to help.
[6:14] I mean, Francis and I are doing two live shows.
[6:17] Are you ready?
[6:18] I'll get you.
[6:21] We're going to do it.
[6:51] I don't know what I'm saying.
