To be a fly on that wall...

[Scene: Somewhere in Georgetown]

Greenspan: This is Alan.

Bernanke: Alan, it's Ben....how's your weekend so far?

Greenspan: Pretty good....Andrea and I are going to a charity event this weekend, but otherwise it'll be quiet. Still busy cleaning out my desk.

Bernanke: That's good. I just spoke with Tim Geithner about this week's events. His people in New York have been monitoring the situations and are on top of everything. As we discussed, Tim's prepared to inject some liquidity into the system Monday if needed. But, we don't think that the situation will get out of hand. I'll keep you up to date.

Greenspan: Sounds good. Have a good weekend.

Has this conversation taken place? Will Monday bring a sharp bounce back? What then?
