- Hey, Steve.
- Hey, Chuck.
:10:26
What are you working on?
:10:29
A piece Gabriel García Marquez
wrote about the Falklands War.
:10:33
How about you?
:10:38
Young Republicans
at a CPAC Conference.
:10:41
Pretty standard stuff.
:10:43
Hotel ballrooms, boring speeches.
Chicken dinners.
:10:52
Which is why everybody spends
their time in the suites upstairs
:10:55
committing felonies.
:10:57
Oh, yeah?
:10:59
Yeah. l went to one.
The ballroom was empty.
:11:02
Every delegate under the age of 25
was on the fifth floor getting loaded.
:11:06
Drugs, binge drinking,
hookers--
:11:08
it gets pretty ugly.
:11:12
- Sounds great, Steve.
- So does yours.
:11:17
Okay, well, l gotta get back to work.
Have a good lunch.
:11:21
Thanks.
:11:23
Hold it. Have to give myself
a demerit for poor scene setting.
:11:27
Let me explain. A year ago,
Chuck Lane and l were peers.
:11:29
He hadn't become editor yet.
:11:31
Michael Kelly was editing
the magazine then.
:11:33
Sorry, Mrs. Duke.
l know how you feel about clarity.
:11:43
We've got to start calling
some other places.
:11:46
l don't think l can
eat this stuff every day.
:11:48
lt was the Cannon Building.
You had it as ''Russell.''
:11:51
l fixed it.
:11:53
- Thank you.
- l really liked it, Ames.
:11:55
But boring, right?
:11:58
No. No. l really,
really liked it.
