[1:42] The old image.
[1:43] The presidential cup next to it.
[1:47] This is the one that comes with the flag.
[1:52] That's why it's in color.
[1:56] There's a good distinction.
[2:01] This is the most broken, and Mr. Graham was telling me just before he came in, that he had eaten some of the older ones.
[2:06] Yeah, I know.
[2:07] They were broken.
[2:08] They were broken.
[2:09] Well, they weren't there.
[2:10] They weren't there.
[2:11] It's frankly, I'm going to call on you.
[2:14] These are better than those.
[2:16] But you should have them.
[2:21] I appreciate that.
[2:26] I always have an old slime.
[2:30] Here's what it is.
[2:35] It's sealed.
[2:38] Yes, I believe it was years ago.
[2:42] All right.
[2:45] How's he doing?
[2:47] He's, uh, he looks a lot better than he is, but yeah, he's great.
[2:50] Yeah, he's got that thing in the face.
[2:51] He lost all his weight.
[2:52] He just looks like hell the last time I saw him.
[2:55] And the weight and all that.
[2:57] But he feels great.
[2:58] I used to play golf, but he still doesn't look very good.
[3:02] He should give up.
[3:04] He should give up.
[3:06] I always have a feeling that when I think of you, I don't want to think of something specific for you.
[3:13] And I never think of what it would be.
[3:15] So I gave her a Christmas present.
[3:17] Oh, you did it out of support for the campaign.
[3:21] I don't know if that's the truth.
[3:23] That's the truth.
[3:25] That's the truth.
[3:27] Let me say, we appreciate all of your help and so forth and so on.
[3:32] And they can use the pictures if they want.
[3:35] If they find it useful.
[3:37] If I tell you what you do, and I would suggest useful,
