[0:56] You can share that with the invitation. [0:59] So that if you want to go up there, you can go up there. [1:04] Is there anything that you want to do with the astronauts? [1:08] I'll get them to watch this in your cab. [1:19] I have to meet them. [1:21] Why don't they be back? [1:22] They'll be back Saturday around 5 o'clock, sir. [1:25] Well, that's all right. [1:27] That's all right. [1:28] I can meet them. [1:30] Yeah, you give them watches by the afternoon. [1:43] Saturday the studio will probably request a time to talk with you privately. [1:49] Would you intend to turn that off? [1:50] No, no, no. [1:52] But if he does, rather than taking up your time, do you want to see him before the evening? [1:56] Sure. [1:57] I mean, upstairs or... Well, no, he has to do his business. [2:02] I mean, if he comes to the town, I'll see him Saturday afternoon. [2:06] Excuse me. [2:08] Or Saturday morning. [2:09] Saturday afternoon, Saturday morning. [2:12] Now, what time is he in? [2:14] He's invited to come to the White House at what time? [2:17] His evening. [2:17] He said his evening is at 8.30. [2:21] Well, I don't want to have a problem with that. [2:52] I think with his white hair, that'll keep him out of whatever substance matter he might want to raise. [3:05] Anyway, fine. [3:06] Just to find out this. [3:51] And I'll see you the following morning at 10 o'clock, before he leaves on a mission to check. [4:02] I don't think that the last thing we can do is get rid of the bandits. [4:08] That's right. [4:08] Do you want to continue? [4:10] I recall the original purpose of getting involved in discussions. [4:15] Would you like to reconsider the bandits? [4:18] No. [4:18] Don't bother with that. [4:20] They were fine. [4:23] They don't need to.
