It's a tempest
in a teapot.

:54:02
But if the president insists on coming,
what can I do...

:54:05
but try to be gracious
until the whole affair is over with?

:54:08
Where do you plan
to stage this thing, Mr. Porter?

:54:10
I thought outside,
at your husband's sepulchre...

:54:13
we'd put up a tent.
:54:15
It's of no great concern, and I'm
delighted to leave these matters to you.

:54:20
But if it were me, I'd have
the presentation in the reading room...

:54:23
before my husband's portrait.
:54:25
I'd serve refreshments in the library
with a bar in the adjoining parlor.

:54:29
What do you think of that,
Mr. Porter?

:54:33
Well. I think
that would be nice too.

:54:36
Thank you so much again.
:54:42
I suppose you're all excited
about the president...

:54:45
visiting us poor little
country mice.

:54:47
Yes, ma'am. I see this as a chance
to get my people on their toes again.

:54:51
- Thinking sharp.
- So you think they're dull too?

:55:08
Frederick, tell me,
which of these exemplifies...

:55:11
elegant disdain
yet sincere concern?

:55:17
That one.
:55:19
You're good. You know that?
You are very good.

:55:26
I talked to them this morning.
We'll have six of their guys inside.

:55:28
Ten on the grounds. But we're in charge
of the physical plant. Okay?

:55:32
- Yeah.
- Okay.

:55:33
Those guys are taking
their orders fr om us.

:55:56
Does she want
to be known today?

:55:59
Don't know her.
