"Previously on The West Wing:" " You're still here." " I'm still here." " We have no choice but to retaliate." " And blow the summit out of the water." "The president knows, right?" "He's going to have to bomb Palestinians." "A guy wants to come to a peace table, and I've got a table." "Is the president doing a summit?" "What's he need a second Nobel Prize for?" "Congress, the Joint Chiefs, the American public, your own staff everyone disagrees with your assessment of the situation." " Tell me how this ends, Leo!" " We don't always know how it ends!" "Israel cannot agree to attend a summit with Chairman Farad." "Chairman Farad." "Welcome." "We got ourselves a ball game." "Tell the general to hit the Ein Hawa camp near Damascus." "Sir, I hope the president knows how lucky he is to have you." "I can't have them picking up any signals from you that we disagree." " No, sir." " Ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming." "We will require a resolution that balances the needs of both with respect to national identities and religious beliefs." "But there can be no lasting peace no regional stability, without a strong, secure Israel." "And there can be no lasting peace without a sovereign, viable state for the Palestinians." "Good morning." "Let me give a rundown of what's happened so far at Camp David." "The Israeli and Palestinian delegations arrived yesterday evening." "The parties reconvened at 10:20 this morning." "The president will be meeting with the chairman and Prime Minister Zahavy at 12." "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Alexander will make a statement, after which he'll take questions." "General?" "Moments ago, F/ A-18 Hornets off the Abraham Lincoln in the Persian Gulf struck the Ein Hawa terrorist training camp 32 kilometers southwest of Damascus in the kingdom of Syria." "Whether you choose to do this today or 10 years from today you will face the same geography." "The same neighbors, the same ancient animosities." "More years of bloodshed and pain will not change those facts." "The only path to a real and lasting peace is through negotiation." " Toby." " Sir." "The parties have agreed to break into subgroups this afternoon after Chairman Farad, Prime Minister Zahavy and President Bartlet..." " ...meet to agree on topics of discussion." " Excuse me, Toby, if I may." "You'll be hearing this news shortly, but our FBI has identified the group responsible for the deaths of Americans in Gaza and we've launched an attack on their camp in Syria." "Gentlemen, if you will join me on the Aspen terrace at noon." "Thank you." " No, no." " They're not getting Jerusalem." "We say that, Farad's not gonna be here long enough to unpack his toothbrush." "Go to your opening list again." "Farad gives security guarantees and takes tangible action against Hamas..." " ...and he ain't getting Jerusalem." " Enough with Jerusalem!" "Kate." "Israel allows Palestinians to form a viable sovereign state." " We discuss the right of return." " We won't get a refugee deal." " They have to go somewhere." " There's room in Montana." "They can secede from the Union." "Can we go inside?" "I got flies or gnats." " We need something on Jerusalem." " So do we have a draft?" " No." " Yes." " Israelis aren't gonna give up Jerusalem." " Palestinians won't deal without it." "We're back where we were last night?" "Delegations are on their way." "We punt on Jerusalem this morning, tackle it later." "Agreed?" "Mr. Share-Your-Gum-With-Everyone here." "Yeah." "Why isn't Leo up here?" "This president has a solemn duty to help the only true democracy in the Middle East defend itself against murderers." "Murderers of Israelis, of Americans, murderers of thousands of people..." "Josh lands in an hour." "CNN's got the speaker on an endless loop like a Pink Floyd concert." "They're punishing us for cutting access to Camp David." " Natives restless?" " There may be a mutiny afoot." "I heard a couple of them plotting to throw our Mr. Coffees into the Potomac." "Speaker's on his way." "Doubt he'll miss the cameras on his way in or out." " You wanted me?" " We're losing the media war." "I want us on the morning shows, Crossfire, Dateline." " Book This Old House if there's an angle." " Who goes?" "You, me, the assistant deputy secretary for Fishery Exploitation." "I don't care." " We gotta get our message out." " What is our message?" ""Shut up while we're trying to get them to stop killing each other. "" "Mr. President, how are your children?" "Your grandchildren?" " Everything's well, I hope?" " All very well." "Thank you, Mr. Chairman." "Please." "Annie started high school last week." "I've ordered tea." "Would anyone like something else?" "Tea is fine." "Thank you." "We need to agree on the topics of discussion for the subgroups." "I've come up with a few things to help us get started." "First, security for Israel after withdrawal from the Territories." "We will need to maintain military presence in the Jordan Valley." "What message this sends to my people about sovereignty?" "Please, excuse me." "Discussion of these issues is for the subgroups." "We're only suggesting topics now." "Thank you." "Second, disposition of the settlements and the land apportioned to them." " Third, right of return for refugees." " No, there's not right of return." "It's a claim of return." "Fourth, how the Palestinian Authority will go about dismantling terrorist groups." "Well, that's four topics." "I guess we can catch a double feature now." "What about Jerusalem?" "I thought we'd put off discussion of Jerusalem..." "Israel will not give up control of Jerusalem." "Jerusalem is central to our topics." "Please." "Let's begin on these four issues, see if we can reach..." "We should start with Jerusalem." "If we can't resolve that why spend time on the little things?" "Little things?" "Like denouncing terrorism?" "Security of Israel?" " Our capital must be Jerusalem." " Israel will not give up Jerusalem." "Then why are you here?" "Why are any of us here?" "For once, Mr. Farad, you are right." "My apologies, Mr. President." "There is no progress to be made here." "I should've never accepted your invitation." " Sit down, Eli." " No, we will not negotiate..." " ...sovereignty over the Temple Mount." " The Dome of the Rock stands..." " ...where Prophet Muhammad..." " Stop it." "Gentlemen, I have staked my personal credibility and the credibility of the United States on suggesting, perhaps foolishly that Israelis and Palestinians are reasonable people who would like to try to resolve their differences peacefully." "No one is going home after one hour of talks." "Now then, the subgroups will begin on these four topics after lunch." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "That went well, don't you think?" "C.J.?" "I've got you booked on Meet the Press, Crossfire and Taylor Reid." " Taylor Reid?" " Nobody else would do it." "Now that's good staff work." " Hey." " Hey." " How's Donna?" " She threw me out." "Her mother's driving her crazy, and her IRA boyfriend is plotting sedition." " Maybe it was seduction." "Probably both." " Dashing photojournalist?" " The professional term is "wanker. "" " Listen to you." "Too much BBC." "Too much sauerbraten." "So Leo's still down here?" " Yeah, he's in his office." " Why isn't he up at Camp David?" " So where do you want me?" " How's Donna?" " Better." "May be able to fly in a few days." " Get up to Camp David." "Toby thinks the president's gonna give away the store." " When are you coming up?" " Tomorrow maybe." "The day after." "Everything okay?" "Syrians are blowing enough gaskets to open a new subcontract they want a resolution at the U.N...." "I'll stop by my apartment, pick up some clothes." "I'll drive straight up." "Margaret!" "We heard from the president this morning?" "No, sir." "You want me to call Debbie?" "No." "Thanks." "Good afternoon." "The president, the prime minister and the chairman met successfully over coffee at Aspen to finalize the topics for today's discussions." "Following lunch, the delegations are breaking into subgroups for this afternoon's talks on a variety of mutually agreed-upon subjects." "While it's too early to comment upon the direction and tenor of the talks I can tell you the buffet of Maryland crab cakes, baked New England cod and Washington state Apple Brown Betty...." "We must have a military presence in the Jordan Valley to secure the borders." "And how would that be different from the current occupation?" "How are we a sovereign nation with IDF units in our streets?" "We're gonna have 4 million Palestinians living next door." "Israel could be cut in two by tanks and artillery in about 15 minutes." "What tanks?" "What artillery?" "Even if every Palestinian man, woman and child were given an Uzi they'd be no match for your military." " And we won't allow that to change." " We must be able to defend ourselves." "Defend yourselves?" "From who?" "How about Hamas?" "How are we to argue there is no longer a reason to fight when your army is there exactly as before?" "We cannot support withdrawal from the Territories without assurances of our security, and that means our troops." "A million Palestinians were being expelled from their homes..." "Closer to 700,000." "And they weren't expelled." "They left after being urged by Arab leaders." "We were terrorized by Zionist troops who were threatening to torch every Arab village in Galilee." "If you'd accepted the partition plan in '47, not a single Palestinian..." " If I might interrupt." " Palestinians were being massacred." " Even Israeli historians admit this." " It was war." "Only three years after the Holocaust." "If we'd lost, there would have been another slaughter of Jews." "Mr. Chairman, Madame Ambassador, excuse me." "It may be more productive to turn to current problems rather than 50-year-old events." "If there is room for a million Russian Jews in Israel why isn't there room for Palestinians who simply wish to go home?" "Good afternoon." "Let me give you a rundown of what's happened at Camp David this morning." "Delegations continued to discuss issues." "They will begin at 10 and resume after lunch." "They will end early, as it is Friday." "Prime Minister Zahavy has invited the president and first lady to join the Israeli delegation for Shabbat dinner." "I'll take questions." "Can you tell us what issues are being discussed, and is progress being made?" "The talks include a range of issues, and getting Israelis and Palestinians to sit in a room together without a combat unit or trial attorney is progress." "Israelis will return the Territories but want a military presence." "Palestinians don't get how it's their house if it comes with Israeli tanks." "Have you mentioned Germany?" "We've had troops there for 50 years." "They asked how many British were in Philadelphia..." " ...after the American Revolution." " Plenty, but they were..." " ...you know, shackled to the wall." " What about settlements?" "The Israelis may abandon Gaza but they want 75 percent of West Bank settlements to remain." "Mukarat might go for it if he gets land in exchange." " Sounds promising." " Only Mukarat wants twice as much as Israelis say the settlements sit on." " How's he justifying that?" " Says Israelis took the best land." " Wants two-for-one in exchange." " Dismantling terror?" "Israelis want Farad to renounce terrorism." "But in Arabic on Al Jazeera." "They want more than a promise to disarm Hamas." "They want it before they leave." " What do the Palestinians say?" " That Farad's renounced terrorism." "Is that why he calls for the blood of a million martyrs in all his speeches?" " Maybe that's an interpretation problem." " Right of return?" "Farad wants the right of return to apply to all Palestinians." "The Israelis are concerned about 3 million Palestinians moving back in." "Gallup did some polling in the West Bank." "Found that while refugees wanted the right to come back, most wouldn't." "Then they won't be disappointed." "Well, look at the bright side." "Nobody shot anybody else the first day." " Okay." " Good shot." "We start small." "See if we can get an agreement on anything." "No matter how inconsequential." "Something we can build on." "I'll continue to sit out so I can jump in later." "But one small move is all we need to get things rolling." " Thanks, guys." " Thank you, Mr. President." " Sir, anything I could be doing to help?" " Go with Toby and Will." "I think they need some positive reinforcement." "Sir, should we be here?" "Glad you're back, Josh." "Yes, sir." "Jed?" "Where's Leo?" "The Palestinians only became refugees when our Arab neighbors refused to accept them." "Eight hundred thousand Jews were similarly expelled from Arab nations." "Six hundred thousand of them were resettled in Israel without compensation from Arab countries." "You bring up the issue of compensation." "Would Israel be prepared...?" "We are not asking for money." "We want the right of return." "We can't allow 3 million refugees the right to freely reenter." "Of course not." "Since the 19th century, Zionist leaders have advocated a transfer of Arabs out of Palestine." " We can't accept unlimited immigration." " Perhaps we should take a break." "If the Arab population hadn't been uprooted..." " ...no Jewish state could've arisen." " So it was right for Palestine to be cleansed of its native population to establish a Jewish state?" "We are prepared to sacrifice, but not to formalize our dispossession." "Excuse me." "An abrupt removal of our forces from the Territories would create a power vacuum." "How are we to prevent rocket attacks from Palestinian-controlled areas?" "It would be our responsibility to gain control over our militants." "We've tried that before." "You've never given us time to assert ourselves before you come rushing back." "It's almost 4, and we had asked to end early for Kabalat Shabbat." "Right." "Why don't we meet back here tomorrow morning at 10." " Excuse me." " Thank you." "They've done everything in their power to undermine moderate leadership." "Don't they understand that when they blow up leaders of Hamas with bombs bulldoze Palestinian homes, they only make them stronger?" "Boys in Gaza, they no longer want to be doctors, teachers, engineers." "Now they all want to be martyrs." "So there's an opening on compensation for refugees." "Maybe." "But Israel's not gonna agree to an unlimited right of return." "There might be a pitch for most going to the new Palestinian state and Israel agreeing to take a few." "Like the 9 percent who told Gallup..." " ...they might wanna go." " Work on that." "Toby?" "Not much on security." "The Israelis won't leave a West Bank that isn't protected militarily." "And we're still far apart on any kind of land swap for the settlements." " Mukarat's sticking to 10 percent." " Israelis say 3." " Ideas on how to break the logjam?" " Too bad Congress isn't here." "They'd just cook the books and hold a press conference." " Mr. President, get ready for dinner." " Okay." "We need some suggested solutions on security and settlements." "That's tonight's homework." "Okay." "Rosebud after dinner." "We solve world peace." "How's it going?" " Yep." " Are you gonna talk to him?" "Somebody better do something or this time next week, we're gonna be the ones who lose our right to return." "Amen." "It's beautiful, isn't it?" "The Salah." "They have to do it five times a day." "Amen." "The tragedy is that the Palestinians and the Jews are so much alike." "How's that?" "All through history, no one's wanted either of them." "Good morning." "Let me, as has become my custom give a generic rundown of what's gone on since yesterday afternoon's briefing." "The president had a meeting with Prime Minister Zahavy sometime after 10 p. m." "This was at the prime minister's cabin." "The president then hosted Chairman Farad at his cabin." "I won't say whether they played a game of Twister." " Fixed positions won't work." " How long will they be there?" "I don't know." "Four years?" "Farad's gonna hate it." "Zahavy's gonna hate it." " You have a better idea?" " Wait till they die." "I'll be free the whole millennium." "Two old paleonationalists who've been clawing each other's eyes for 50 years." "They don't want a deal." "What are they gonna do for fun?" "Swap recipes for Matzoh Brei?" "Yeah, I hear the lawn bowling is great in Tel Aviv." " With human pins, apparently." " How's it coming?" "You all right?" "You're looking a little bit...." "Those leftover taquitos Will found in here last night." "Anybody got an antacid, or maybe an aunt who knows how to cook?" "Keep them." "I got more in the room." "So?" "Kate has an idea on security." "Israelis pull out of the West Bank, but keep troops in position for three or four years." "After that they fall back to Israel, but keep early warning posts for monitoring." "Okay." " Excuse me?" " I said, okay." " Where were you the last three hours?" " Let's take it for a walk." " Walking a dog is a perfect analogy." " Toby's not a fan." "Zahavy may go for it, but every time we begin to get anywhere, Mazar jumps in." "The defense minister." "Then split them up." " How we supposed to do that?" " I don't know." "You'll think of something." "I've always wanted to try skeet shooting." "You shoot often?" "Yeah." "You know, once or twice a week." "When it's in season." "Here we are, gentlemen." "So tell me, Toby." "How exactly does this work?" "Well, they hurl a couple of clay pigeons, we shoot them." "Unless they hurl the wrong direction." "Then we duck." " You know how to fire a gun, sir?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "Ready, Mr. Minister?" "Pull!" " How long were you in the army?" " I still am." "Every Israeli citizen is in the reserves." "Your turn." " You sure you know how to do this?" " I know back in Israel you play this game with Cobra gunships, but I'm fine." " What?" " You may not want to rest like this." "You have to stand, you know, more firm." "Yeah, well, this is the way we do it in Brooklyn." "Pull." "Fixed positions in the West Bank for four years." "Maybe less." "If things go well." " Then how many monitoring sites after?" " Two or three." "So you can keep an eye on the Jordanian border and the Palestinians." "It could be more than four years, if that's what you're..." "We would need a mechanism to deal with emergency developments." " He'll do it?" " Some version of it." "Yes." " Farad?" " He'll be the last to sign on." "Mukarat will support it if we get him away from Farad." " What about right of return?" " Israelis won't do an unlimited right." " Farad is standing on principle." " I can work on him." "I think he likes me." "Josh, Will, get back in with Zahavy before Toby has to start feeding the clay pigeons." "And get him to commit on security." "Okay, let's go." "We may just have our tennis match." " You don't think so?" " We haven't got to the tough part." " We're making progress." " Yes, sir, you are." "And that's laudable." "Laudable." "You make it sound like an honorarium from some two-bit chiropractic college in Arizona." " You planning to discuss Jerusalem?" " That'll be last." " Because it's the only thing..." " Damn it, don't you think I know that?" "I'll go see if I can get Galit to give us a number on compensation." "Mr. Chairman, I know how difficult it would be for you to appear to be abandoning the principle." "It's not reasonable to ask that Israelis allow an unlimited number of refugees to return." "I was born in the city of Zefat." "Do you know Zefat?" "It's in the mountains of upper Galilee." "I was 8 years old when the British left." "There were 52,000 Arabs in Zefat." "Only 1300 Jews." "Within a month, the Haganah had taken over the city." "My eldest sister, Amira, was killed." "The body of my brother, Aziz was found hanging from a burned cypress tree." "We fled to Syria lived in tents, ate United Nations handouts and surplus American cheese." "I still remember the view of the valley from the roof of our house." "The smell of the pomegranates." "The sound of children playing in our orchard." "The home of my father, of my aunts, my uncles." "They are now art galleries and bed-and-breakfasts." "Will I get to go home, Miss Harper?" "No, sir." "Probably not." "But is that worth not having any home at all?" "You got Farad to go along on right of return?" " I think it's doable." " I'm taking her next time I buy a car." "That leaves us with the big one." "Any chance we can just give Jerusalem to the Swiss?" "So who goes in?" "I do." "Shared sovereignty of Jerusalem is the only realistic approach." "No." "If anyone led you to believe that we could agree to anything..." "Mr. Chairman, do you want to see your people oppressed for another generation?" "Shared custody of the city, its holy sites..." "Why do you continue to support Israel?" "Hatred of America grows because of this." "Not just in the Muslim countries." "I've done more to support the Palestinian cause than anyone who's sat in my chair." "Al-Haram al-Sharif, the Dome of the Rock stands on the site where the prophet Muhammad landed in his journey from Mecca to Jerusalem." "Mr. Chairman, there isn't a single member of your delegation who doesn't think turning down the U.N. offer of a Palestinian homeland in 1947 was lunacy." "A colossal mistake." "Please." "Do not make the same mistake today." "He's not gonna do it." "Farad's elevated being a victim into an art form." " What?" " Nothing." "Come on." "You're not starting to buy what he's selling too?" " He's a terrorist." " With some legitimate grievances." " Please." " What, now you're Jewish?" " Don't remember seeing you at temple." "1938." "Millions of men, women and children running for their lives seeking refuge in any country that would take them." "Nobody would, including America." "So they settle in a region that still believes in stonings and harems?" "Palestinians are the Jews of the Arab world." "Even with the bombs, Israel is the one place it's okay to be Jewish." " And here." " German Jews in the '20s..." " ...were mighty comfortable." " This isn't Germany." " This is America." " Home of the KKK." "Where you and I work to make sure the Justice Department rips their Jew-hating hoods off." "Bartlet got Farad." "The general principle would be that Arab areas are Palestinian and Jewish areas are Israeli." "Israeli sovereignty over the Western Wall Palestinian sovereignty over the Haram." "There would have to be a commitment from both parties not to excavate under the Haram or behind the Wall, of course." "You have kept us here for five days negotiating, cajoling us into things we didn't want to do." "But we have tried, struggled, to find a common ground because we value your friendship and that of the United States." "But I have taken a solemn oath before God and my people not to give up Jerusalem." "I told you that on the first day." "I told you." "And yet you continued to talk and to talk." "You have not been listening." "Mr. President, my...." "My right eye will fall out my right arm will fall off before I ever sign a document giving up Jerusalem!" "Mr. Prime Minister, please listen." "No, there have been enough words, Mr. President." "We are going home." "Thank you." "No, no, no." "They're not gonna go for it." " They might." " They won't." "We go to Mukarat convince him to take something less than sovereignty over the Arab sections of the city." " Something less, like what?" " I don't know." "Some sort of custodial arrangement." "How about a floral arrangement?" ""Best wishes for the 93rd intifada. "" " State put off the Israelis' departure." " What'd they tell them?" "That the state police needed 10 hours to secure the route." "Call C.J. Tell her there'll be an announcement in the morning." "Have we started working on a statement yet?" ""A cycle that cannot be broken overnight." "A step toward.... "" "Insert your favorite platitude here." "There's always "regional calamity. "" "All right, everyone." "Let's all get a good night's sleep." " Thank you, Mr. President." " Good night." "I'll have C.J. work on some postmortems get our side of the story out." "Maybe a one-on-one with Time or Newsweek?" "They weren't ready." "Good night, Mr. President." "Cell phone service sucks up here." "Yeah, not many good spots." "This is usually one of them." "Who are you trying to call at 2 in the morning?" "Someone you hate, I hope." "It's Germany." "It's morning over there already." " Your assistant doing better?" " She may fly back on Wednesday." "It's a search for two freedoms." "For Israel, the freedom from terror." "For the Palestinians, the freedom from Israel." "That's what Efraim Nachum called it." "His book on the Six-Day War is pretty...." "What?" "Boring?" "Overwritten?" "Find Toby and Will." "I'll meet you at Aspen." " What?" " Get Toby and Will!" "After the Six-Day War, Israelis offered to give the U.N. diplomatic status..." " ...in the holy sites in Jerusalem." " So?" "If they were willing to do it in '67, why not now?" "They give the Muslim holy sites the status of diplomatic missions." "Israelis can keep sovereignty." "They can't enter without permission from the Palestinians." "The Palestinians would have a state that was inviolable." "Like a foreign embassy." "Palestinians will love it." "It gives them status over the Haram that the Saudis have over sites like Mecca and Medina." "There's only one catch." "When the Israelis offered it the first time, they wanted peacekeepers." "In Jerusalem and throughout the West Bank." "The U.N. will give peacekeepers if it'll solve the crisis." "It can't be the U.N. U.N. peacekeepers have no credibility with the Israelis." "They let Egypt attack Israel through the Sinai in '67." "It would have to be us." " How many troops?" " The Israelis have 20,000..." " ...in the West Bank and Gaza." " The Europeans will pitch in 10 percent." "Eighteen thousand American troops patrolling the PLO's back yard?" "Where the hell is Leo?" "How are the other Arab nations gonna feel about this?" "Jordan will put up with new neighbors." "It'll give him peace in his own back yard." "Folks in the West Bank are gonna roll out the welcome mat for GI Joe when he climbs out of his humvee in Ramallah?" "If we're gonna stay up, I'm gonna order coffee and get dressed." "Is this really our job?" " Sending U.S. teens into that breach?" " What are we talking about?" "An American peacekeeping force in the Territories." "And we think that's a good idea?" "Some of us do." "Palestinians want Israelis out." "Israelis don't want Palestinians there alone." "They need an outside force to ensure a smooth transition." " Congress won't authorize that." " They asked for a show of force." "We'd throw ourselves into a conflict we don't understand." "Give religious fanatics more to scream about not to mention political capital, economic costs." "It shouldn't be our job, but no one else can do it." "Could I speak to you privately for a moment?" "Fixed positions won't work." "I can't support this decision." "For a short period, we may be welcome." "But what happens when we have to declare martial law, enforce curfews?" "Once they establish a rule of law and their economy settles, they'll be fine." "This isn't a romp in the desert." "You're committing American lives to something that may go on for decades." "How are we not involved now?" " We can't keep having this argument." " No, sir, we can't." "My counsel is no longer of use to you." "Perhaps it's time..." "If I disagree with your advice, you have to threaten me?" "This is your own League of Nations and it'll ruin you like it ruined Wilson." "Okay." "I'll need your successor in place before you leave." " I'll get you some names." " Yeah." "Is everything all right?" "Yeah." "He's still gonna do it?" "You should get back in there." "Find out what the president needs..." "You sure you're okay?" "I just need some air." "Go." "Go." " Just a second." "Zahavy?" " Thank you." " Good morning, Mr. Prime Minister." " Mr. President." " Thank you for seeing me." " Of course." "Can we take a walk?" "Eli, I had another thought last night." "The difficulty with Jerusalem is finding a way to ensure your continued sovereignty." "Good morning, everybody." "If you could settle down, please." "I'm pleased to announce that this afternoon at 2:00 Prime Minister Zahavy, Chairman Farad and President Bartlet will hold a joint press conference in the Rose Garden to describe a tentative accord that's been reached between the parties." "Congress won't approve it." "They don't have to." "We're not declaring war." "We're not even trying to build one of those aquatic history museums." " Still have to fund it." " Never get that far." "Farad will find some way to trip over his shoes before we get to resole them." " No roundtrip on Marine One?" " Yeah." "What a shame." "You talk to Leo this morning?" "I couldn't find him." "Must have headed back early." "Any idea how he wants us to handle this?" "No." "I'll try calling him."
