[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] What have you found out so far?
[0:11] Oh, I don't see everyone.
[0:21] They said they'd never give a number in for Dean.
[0:22] And they, their memories are good, aren't they?
[0:35] Could you see what would have happened if the memorandum, you see, Larry, would have been done to deem what I would have done with that?
[0:44] I mean, I might have had to pay the memorandum and make the copy to him and not have any copy made, just have the tape returned to me and then file.
[0:55] And those, I've got myself, so I can check those.
[1:00] No, I wouldn't go over to him and tell him.
[1:03] You're welcome to vote.
[1:04] Yeah.
[1:05] Yeah.
[1:07] Yeah.
[1:09] Well, okay.
[1:13] Very nice of you.
[1:13] I want you to get her on the phone and ask her right now.
[1:30] Come on.
[1:30] Were there many calls when you were gone?
[1:40] Now, wait a minute.
[1:42] At what time did they...
[1:42] But these were ones where copies were made, were they not?
[1:44] In other words, these were ones where she made the...
[1:45] In other words, you saw the copies, in a sense, instead of you.
[1:50] Oh, what about the other one?
[1:52] I didn't see that.
[1:52] I guess you're right.
[1:58] In other words, they all came from your office.
[2:07] Well, if God saves her from this, and I can cover it up, I mean, I wouldn't have written one of these without having her... Oh, look, I never wrote any goddamn things on Watergate, you know.
[2:24] No, we weren't thinking about that.
[2:26] I mean, that's what people are forgetting around this damn place.
[2:28] But I just wanted to check the files, you know, so that...
[2:33] because there's some, you know what I mean?
[2:34] You just figure there's some time in the middle.
[2:37] The night you met him, he had a pretty, I don't know if you can make this word, Jack and Terry.
[2:52] Yeah, but each of the girls told me this.
[2:56] And they said, I heard what you asked, that he had a right around duty.
[2:58] Yeah, all right.
[3:10] Yeah, but each of the girls .
[3:35] And they said, I heard what you asked, and he had a random 2D.
[3:37] All right.
[3:38] Good.
[3:38] All right.
[3:38] Why don't you wander across the table and report back to me.
[3:51] You call me.
[3:52] I'll call me and have you hear from Jerry.
