[0:05] We will make it stay here tonight, sir.
[0:10] George, you work in the box, sir.
[0:14] Oh, his wife got the flu.
[0:16] Yes, sir, got the flu.
[0:18] Apparently she has a prince of heroism.
[0:21] He can't be here.
[0:22] Oh, we can invite him out.
[0:24] He just wants to spend two weeks.
[0:27] We'll invite him the next week.
[0:30] Maybe once.
[0:30] Maybe the other week, the way I see it.
[0:32] Yes, sir.
[0:36] He's very honored with it.
[0:50] Yeah.
[0:51] Well, he wants to wait.
[0:52] Yes, sir.
[0:53] What he basically said was that if you're having eating and entertainment without any press, people would say, what's the matter with the convention?
[1:02] Right.
[1:02] Good.
[1:03] Good.
[1:04] Fine.
[1:04] Well, that's it.
[1:05] What are they working on?
[1:07] We're working on other entertainment, including the carpenters group.
[1:13] Just a mixed bag.
[1:15] I agree.
[1:15] We must appreciate it.
[1:16] Yeah.
[1:16] I mean, not a mixed sort of variety show.
[1:20] We'd like to find out.
[1:21] We want to see if we can lock in a good entertainer along the lines of seeing his junior one person when we do it.
[1:26] And then bring it out there.
