Condi: Yes.

-
George: Will you or
will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
-
-
Condi: Yes, sir.
-
-
George: Yassir?
Yassir Arafat is in
China?
I thought he was in the Middle East.
-
-
Condi: That’s
correct.
-
-
George: Then who is
in China?
-
-
Condi: Yes, sir.
-
-
George: Yassir is in
China?
-
-
Condi: No, sir.
-
-
George: Then who is?
-
-
Condi: Yes, sir.
-
-
George: Yassir?
-
-
Condi: No, sir.
-
-
George: Look, Condi.
I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get
-
-
me the Secretary
General of the U.N. on the phone.
-
-
Condi: Kofi?
-
-
George: No, thanks.
-
-
Condi: You want Kofi?
-
-
George: No.
-
-
Condi: You don’t
want Kofi.
-
-
George: No. But now
that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
-
-
Condi: Yes, sir.
-
-
George: Not Yassir!
The guy at the U.N.
-
-
Condi: Kofi?
-
-
George: Milk! Will
you please make the call?
-
-
Condi: And call who?
-
-
George: Who is the
guy at the U.N?
-
-
Condi: Hu is the guy
in China.
-
-
George: Will you
stay out of
China?!
-
-
Condi: Yes, sir.
-
-
George: And stay out
of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
-
-
Condi: Kofi.
-
-
George: All right!
With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
-
-
(Condi picks up the
phone.)
-
-
Condi: Rice, here.
-
-
George: Rice? Good
idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in
China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?
