I'm Alan Reed,
White House communications director.
:18:17
This is Bob Alexander, our chief of staff.
:18:21
We met at the hotel tonight, remember?
:18:24
Can I get you a drink?
:18:26
You sure? Coke, mineral water?
:18:29
I'm fine.
:18:32
Dave, something has come up
and I think we need to talk about it.
:18:36
I'm so sorry.
I know I wasn't supposed to talk...
:18:40
...but I saw the crowd and got excited--
:18:44
We're not upset with you.
We think you did a great job.
:18:48
Don't worry about it.
:18:50
Terrific.
:18:51
In fact you did such a good job...
:18:53
...that we'd like to...
:18:56
...extend things a little.
:18:58
Extend things?
:19:00
Extend them.
:19:03
Come here.
:19:15
Try it out.
:19:21
-Try it out?
-Go ahead.
:19:36
How's that feel?
:19:38
Very nice.
:19:41
Dave...
:19:44
...the reason we invited you here tonight
is because...
:19:48
...something happened to the president.
:19:50
Oh, my God!
:19:51
I know, it's difficult for all of us, but...
:19:55
...we need to put
our personal feelings aside and focus...
:19:58
...on the good of the country.
