Transcript:

Phred: "... and am happy to report progress in obtaining new credits for Vietnam. P.S. haven't had time for spying. Maybe by the summer." Ambassador Mengah, please. This is Ambassador Phred here. Voice: One minute, sir. Man: Phreddy! Good to hear from you, buddy! What's up? Phred: Well, I'm having a little soiree tonight, Georges! You and the missus free? Man: You bet, Phred! What sort of dress? Phred: Informal, very informal... it's just a little Third World barbecue in honor of Andy Young. As you know, the emergency relief vote's coming up, and I want him in our corner! Also, I'm thinking of making another reparations pitch, so I could use the solidarity... Man: Well, you can count on me, Phred! Can I pick anything up for you? Phred: No, I'd rather we don't have enough. Man: Good thinking! Shall I bring my drought slides?
