00:00You're instructing me to stay here and I should cancel my appointment.
00:03No, you just made me an offer.
00:04No, I didn't make you an offer.
00:05You made me an offer that I accepted.
00:07I did not make you an offer. Just let's be clear.
00:10You're instructing me. You are ordering me to stay here.
00:13Mr. Secretary, I want you to know that no other secretary has ever told us the day
00:32before that they were going to limit their time in the way that you're doing.
00:38So if you want to use them as examples, you have acted differently than they have acted.
00:45And as I have said, if you wish to leave, you may.
00:50If you'd wish to keep me here so that I don't have my important meeting and continue to grill me,
00:57then we can do that. I will cancel my meeting and I will not be back here.
01:00I will be very clear. If that's the way you'd like to have this relationship.
01:04Thank you. The gentleman, the secretary, has agreed to stay to hear all of the rest of the members.
01:10Please cancel your meeting and respect our time.
01:13Who is next on the list?
01:15You're instructing me to stay here and I should cancel my appointment.
01:18No, you just made me an offer.
01:20No, I didn't make you an offer.
01:21You made me an offer that I accepted.
01:23I did not make you an offer. Just let's be clear.
01:25You're instructing me. You are ordering me to stay here.
01:29No, I'm not ordering you. I'm responding. I said you may leave any time you want.
01:34And you said, okay, if that's what you want to do, I'll cancel my appointment and I'll stay here.
01:40So I'm responding to your request. If that's what you want to do.
01:44That's not what I want to do. I told you.
01:46What would you like to do?
01:47What I've told you is I thought it was respectful that you'd let me leave at 5.15.
01:51You are free to leave any time you want. You may go. Any time you want.
01:56Please dismiss everybody. I believe you're supposed to take the gravel and bang it.
02:00Please do not instruct me as to how I am to conduct this committee.
02:06Please, gentle lady, the time belongs to the chair.
