Nobody knew what was going on, and then, um, you know, Bobby’s security detail surrounded us and took us…. I mean, really, like, had to lift me over chairs, because I’m in heels and and a gown, and, um, and they took us through all of the back ways, and we, uh, got in the car, and left. So, anyway, I’m just giving you a little update.”
