:03:01
And that man is you, David.
:03:09
I don't know if you're trying
to flatter me. . .
:03:11
. . .or frighten me, sir.
:03:13
I think the secretary general
is suggesting. . .
:03:16
. . .is that you can remind all parties
involved that, as history has shown. . .
:03:20
. . .economic prosperity
does wonders at keeping the peace.
:03:23
Excuse me, I missed CNN today.
:03:26
Is there a war going on
that I'm unaware of?
:03:28
There's always a war.
There's your side, their side. . .
:03:31
. . .and me in the middle
trying to make it look like peace.
:03:35
The secretary general
spoke to the president this morning.
:03:38
If the situation doesn't improve,
he's prepared to fly in tomorrow. . .
:03:42
. . .and attend the ceremony as a
show of support for the agreement.
:03:46
It's a last resort.
:03:48
I don't want it to happen.
:03:50
I want this to be a UN initiative.
:03:52
But more than that, I want it to work.
:03:55
And I'm afraid
that as things stand now. . .
:03:57
. . .without the president's presence,
it can't work.
:04:02
Don't bring in the president.
It'll only complicate things.
:04:06
In the meantime, we were hoping
you wouldn't mind acting. . .
:04:09
. . .as interim diplomat.
:04:12
An ambassador of good will,
if you will.
:04:15
I would be honored to help.
:04:19
And allow you to take the headlines.
:04:22
"Secretary General saves
China trade agreement. "
:04:27
Excuse me.
:04:32
Eleanor Hooks.
:04:33
You posted a missing cat?
:04:38
Yes.
:04:40
Yes, I did. You found him healthy?
:04:43
Yes.
:04:46
You'll need to keep him a few days.
Is that a problem?
:04:50
No problem.
:04:51
I know where to reach you.
