Well, Mary, Jack will be here pretty soon. Yeah, and I'll sure be glad to see him, Don. Guys, I'll bet Jack will be glad to get home, where you'll be able to step into a hot tub again.

You're not kidding. You're not kidding. What are you laughing at, Barry? Jack sent me a picture of himself taking a bath and a barrel. Here it is. See? Yeah. Oh, wait a minute. That doesn't look like Jack.

Where's his hair? He's using it for a wash rag. Look! Well, that's Jack getting his back scrubbed in a shampoo at the same time. John, Jack's plane is supposed to pull up at gate four. Let's push in a little closer.
