Roland: This is Roland Hedley. Today Ambassador Nguyen Van Phred was installed as the new Vietnamese envoy to the U.N.! ABC was there with the tough questions. Mr. Phred, have you been to Studio 54 yet? Phred: No. I was not sent here to dance. Roland: Do you know where you'll be living yet, sir? Phred: I just got here... I haven't had time to look. I hear the west side is nice... Roland: How about a suit? Will you be getting a new suit? Phred: Um... no... why?
I’ll be darned. I didn’t realize Phred was actually his name, I always thought it was GT’s satirical nickname. Does Vietnamese even have a ’ph" combination?
