John asks which two Steve has it narrowed down to; Steve says "Argentina and the Philippines."
John says he knows it's not Argentina because that is the Casa Rosada, or "Pink House". He's inclined to go with
Steve's other guess. Steve then says that since he has the chance he wants to tell John that he's read the book over John's right shoulder. John encourages him to read the book over his left shoulder next time. [Transcriptionist's note - the titles were too blurry to be legible.]
