Fifth question, “How was your Labor Day weekend?”
Clinton, “It was good! It was really good, yeah! We had a good time, the last moment of…(Clinton exaggerates a relaxing exhaling to demonstrate calm.)”

Clinton, “Oh, I do. You’ll hear it. (Makes thumbs up gesture with right hand.) I definitely, I definitely do. If you want more happy Labor Days you know who to voter for!” (Laughter.)
Clinton waves, “Thanks. I’ll come back later. Bye!”
Clinton, “Right out of Penn!”
