Hello?
Hi, Rob.
Sally?
That's right. I'm sorry to be calling you so late. Is Laura still up?
Yes, as a matter of fact, she's doing a crossword puzzle. Just a moment.
Thanks.
Hello?
Hi, Laura.
Hi, Sally.
Just thought I'd tell you that Thomas Edson and I went out, tonight…and he had a bit too much to drink!
He did?
That's right.
He's never gotten drunk, as far as I know!
He's certainly never done it with me, either!
You didn't encourage him, did you?
Certainly not, Laura! Whatever gave you that idea?
I'm sorry, Sally! Just making sure, that's all.
That's OK.
Where is he, now?
He's on my couch, fast asleep.
That's good. Did he behave himself, while he was drunk?
Well, he was a little boisterous, in the restaurant. But yes, he did behave-well, mostly.
Mostly?
He did offer to massage my feet.
Did you let him?
Yes, I did. It felt nice-that is until he fell asleep!
(Giggling) What a shame! Well, thanks for taking care of him, and thanks for telling me about it.
You're welcome, Laura. Get back to your crossword puzzle!
I'll do that! Bye.
Bye.
