The White House sent me
something perishable?
:45:05
It's for Ms.Wade.
:45:06
Here we go.
:45:07
Relax, Leo, I'm sure it's just a formality.
:45:10
- It's from him.
- Of course, it's from him.
:45:13
He had some staff flunky
send me a fruit basket.
:45:16
He wrote the note himself.
:45:17
I'm sure he didn't take the time--
:45:19
The messenger waited ten minutes
while the President wrote the card.
:45:23
Okay, listen...
:45:26
It took him ten minutes to write the card?
:45:28
Apparently, he went through several drafts.
:45:46
What is it?
:45:48
- A ham.
- A ham?
:45:50
He sent me a Virginia ham!
:45:53
Dig it, Ms.Wade,
you're the President's girlfriend.
:45:57
There's never an egg timer around
when you need one.
:46:05
Thanks.
:46:09
They'll be pressing today...
:46:10
...if we're prepared to soften the
assault weapons section of the crime bill.
:46:14
There's no need to entertain that
at this point.
:46:19
How do you want me to handle
the Sydney issue?
:46:23
"The Sydney issue"?
:46:25
We should have a consensus
on how the White House will handle it.
:46:28
I certainly hope "the Sydney issue" refers
to a problem we're having with Australia.
:46:33
- Because if it's anything else--
- Mr.President...
:46:36
Ms.Wade is here to see you.
:46:38
Have her come in, please.
I am finished here.
:46:41
Yes, sir.
:46:42
There is no Sydney issue.
:46:47
- Good morning.
- Oh, hi. Hi.
:46:50
Thanks for seeing me on such short notice.
:46:53
No problem. Did you get the ham?
:46:55
Yes, I got the ham.
:46:57
I wanted to send you some flowers,
but there appear to be kinks in the system.
