I've gotten to know him pretty well from cocktail parties over the years, ... He's a very fine guy, a very nice guy and is extremely well qualified for the Court. It actually surprised me that Mr. Bush would pick someone this good.

Hagen played in tournaments as though they were cocktail parties.

Another fine mess you're gotten me into.

That's another fine mess you've gotten me into

To say he was a guy who was always drawing up stuff on cocktail napkins, that would be a little bit of [an embellishment], and he doesn't need that to validate what he's doing. He's a very bright guy, one of those guys who has to know what everybody is doing on a play, and why they're doing it. He sees the whole picture.

We had cocktail parties and I'd stay up until 5 in the morning.
