“Hi. Hi there. Um, my mom wanted me to call because you left your really good Sega game over here yesterday. You’re probably wondering where it is and never would have remembered you left it here. Hope this machine doesn’t break all of a sudden or something. Haha. Okay, come get it, you know, when you’re not busy. No rush or anything.”
“Oh, the beep is really quick there. Um, I was just calling because…well, I was thinking maybe I could go out with that girl you were seeing up until, I don’t know, a couple hours ago. Anyway, no big thing, and if it’s easier I’ll just take it as a yes if I don’t hear back from you. That’ll save you the work of having to call me back, because you’re doing me a big solid here anyway. Aright. Feel better.”
“Hey boss. Not feeling too good. I’ll probably stay home today. Ummm…okay. If you need me to elaborate on any of this, give me a call. Preferably after the good shows are on. That’s usually the time I feel most affected by illness. Alright. Late.”
