 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?
