(Pause.)
George B. : Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condoleeza : Yes, sir.
George B. : Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.
Condoleeza : That's correct.
George B. : Then who is in China?
Condoleeza : Yes, sir.
George B. : Yassir is in China?
Condoleeza : No, sir.

Condoleeza : Yes, sir.
George B. : Yassir?
Condoleeza : No, sir.
(Pause. Crumples paper.)
George B. : Condi, you're starting to piss me off now, and it's not 'cause you're black neither. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. So why don't you get me the Secretary General of the United Nations on the phone.
Condoleeza : Kofi Annan?
George B. : No, thanks. And Condi, call me George. Stop with that ebonics crap.
Condoleeza : You want Kofi?
George B. : No.
Condoleeza : You don't want Kofi.
George B. : No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
Condoleeza : Yes, sir.
George B. : Not Yassir! The guy at the United Nations.
Condoleeza : Kofi?
George B. : Milk! Will you please make that call?
Condoleeza : And call who?
George B. : Well, who is the guy at the U.N?
Condoleeza : No, Hu is the guy in China.
George B. : Will you stay out of China?!
Condoleeza : Yes, sir.
George B. : And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condoleeza : Kofi.
George B. : All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
Condoleeza : Hello. Rice, here.
George B. : Rice? Good idea. And get a couple of egg rolls, too, Condi. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get chinese food in the Middle East? I don't know.
