I have Mrs. Wilson for you, sir.
There you are.
Hello?
Hello.
Mrs. Wilson?
Yes, sir.
I wanted to congratulate you on your 15th wedding anniversary.
Well, thank you.
I don't think your husband will get home, but if he does, why, you tell him that we think he's all done a splendid job down there and the whole city, and I think the nation's very proud of what he's done.
Well, thank you very much, sir.
Fine.
Goodbye.
Bye.
