Well, you really get right to it, don't you? [Laughter] His question was--where are they? Here's the head of my detail--do I like having Secret Service agents around me all the time? The answer to that is, the true answer is, yes and no. Yes, I like it because their job is to protect me and my family, and they do a wonderful job of it. And no I don't, sometimes I just like to be an ordinary citizen. I just wish that I could take my wife and daughter and walk down the street and go to a movie or go to a restaurant or go in a shop and go shopping and just be alone. But it's not going to happen for a few years. Who else had their hand up over here? Yes, ma'am, what's your question? Your name is Danielle? You've got a great nose, Danielle. [Laughter] What's your question?
