MCCLAIN: So I prepared this for Madigan, all the things I’m responsible for-

MARQUEZ: That you’re responsible for? Okay.

MCCLAIN: -when I retired.

MARQUEZ: (Laughs.)

MCCLAIN: I handed it to him. He started reading it, and he says, uh, “I don’t think you’re done yet.” (Laughs). He gave it back to me.

MARQUEZ: That’s funny.
