'Hello, you've reached Alphonse and Edward Elr...'
'Hey! How come your name gets to go first?'
'Because I'm doing the message.'
'Well, then let me do the message!'
'No, you'll just mess it up. Besides, alphabetically, my name goes first.'
'I'm older!'
'I'm taller!'
'Wha!!! GRR...WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THA...'
BEEEEP
"Ed! This is Winry. What's this I hear about you bringing that man here for Thanksgiving? I don't want him here! How could you be so cruel as to even suggest bringing the person who killed my parents? How could you even begin a relationship with that slime? You'd better call me back as soon as you get this!"
7:46am
"Oh! AND your automail better be in GOOD condition when you get here, OR ELSE!"
8:52am
"Ed! I know you have to be up getting ready for work by now! You'd better pick up that phone! Al, make Ed pick up the phone!"
9:15am
"Edward…we're friends right? You know how hard it was for me to lose my parents… I just…I just don't…"
9:20am
"I don't want him here…"
10:27am
"I can't work until you call me back, Ed! You'd better call me as soon as you get home!"
11:02am
"Al! Make sure Ed calls me!"
12:00pm
"Okay! I know you don't work through your lunch! Why haven't you called me yet?"
2:09pm
"EEEED! Why haven't you called me back yet? Okay, okay, I know… you're probably still at work…"
3:41pm
"Ed, where…"
"Winry get off the damn phone and help me with this piece!"
"But…"
"He's at work! Whining at his answering machine isn't going to get him to call you any faster! Now hang that up and get over here!"
5:33pm
"You can't possibly still be at work! I'm really mad about all of this! You'd better call me RIGHT NOW! I have some things to say to you, ED!"
7:54pm
"ED! YOU'D BETTER NOT BE IGNORING MY CALLS OR I SWEAR…!
9:42pm
"Ed…please…please call me back… I really need to talk about this. I…really don't know if I can handle…"

"Hello? Winry?"
"Al? I've been trying to reach you guys all day? Is Ed around?"
"Ed…? Um… just a second, I think the machine is still recording…"
"Forget the machine, just get Ed on the phone."
"Actually…Ed isn't…available… right now. I'll tell him you called if you want."
"Al…What's this about Colonel Mustang coming for Thanksgiving?"
"Er…um, actually… I have to go…"
"DON'T YOU DARE GET OFF THE PHONE! I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS!"
"SorryIhavetogoI'lltellEdtocallyoulaterbye!"
