CR: Kofi?
GB: No, thanks.
CR: You want Kofi?
GB: No.
CR: You don't want Kofi.
GB: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
CR: Yes, sir.
GB: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
CR: Kofi?
GB: Milk! Will you please make the call?
CR: And call who?
GB: Who is the guy at the U.N?
CR: Hu is the guy in China.
GB: Will you stay out of China?!
CR: Yes, sir.
GB: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
CR: Kofi.
GB: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone. (CR picks up the phone.)
CR: Rice, here.
GB: 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?
