I will not be the teacher I never realized in my life.
Thank you.
The most fortunate thing is the executive vice president of the company is a former Secret Service agent who knows Rex Skelton.
Well, it doesn't matter.
He's the vice president.
And he's all excited about this.
He thinks it's the most wonderful idea.
And he delivered this personally to this woman.
Oh, he's the florist in San Diego?
Uh, yeah.
Yes, sir.
I guess that is it.
San Diego.
Yeah, San Diego.
And it's winning out in San Diego.
They're very excited about it.
Well, it's been very wonderful to see it.
All right, so would you like to see me today or tomorrow?
You've seen your needs since day three, right?
So tomorrow, I don't know why you're... Well, it's just so that we can get a picture and so forth.
I think tomorrow is going to be the best time.
I'll come in on Thursday.
All right, fine.
Did you get a call since you came in today?
We don't have it here.
