"Calling in for a radio check on our new set." "I hear you loud and clear." "If there's nothing else, I'll sign off." "Just thought that you ought to answer your phone." "47 out." " I was wondering if we should get that." " Hello?" " Nurse Hathaway." "Look I'm sorry if I got in your way on that last call." "You didn 't." " I thought I made you angry." " You didn't." "Let me just ask you." "If you weren't mad were you maybe worried?" "About what?" "You running out in the middle of sniper fire or chasing an armed man through the ER?" "You were worried!" "I thought something was going on here." "I thought maybe I was getting to you, and I know you're getting to me." "That's great." "You were worried." "All right." "So what if I was?" "Oh, hello." "I thought you were flying out today." "Fog." "No Doug yet." "No?" "Good." "I mean...." "Would you like to go out for a drink quick?" "A quick drink?" " I'm not dressed." " Yeah, I've noticed that about you." "But if you got dressed, we could go out." "Mark, are you flirting with me?" "No, I was just going out for a drink anyway." "I'm just gonna drop off my dinner." " So why don't we go?" " Okay, I come." " Now, don't be long." " Okay." "Oh, great." "Mark, you've got the cards out?" "No, I...." "Something wrong?" "Mark, should I...?" "Doug." "Hello." " Hello." " Hello." "My friend Hulda and I, we were just going." "Relax, Mark." "I think Hulda and I can read the situation." "I'm Linda." "Did we have a scheduling mix-up?" "Looks that way." "So one, two, three, four." "Let's have a drink." " Sounds great." " Or play bridge." "Nice, even number." "Thanks, but no thanks." "I gotta call my wife." "So let me count, that makes three." "Am I right?" "Mark, it's early." "Have fun." "Good night." "Hi." "I'm not in." "Hi, Susan." "Mark." "I found out about Chloe." "Guess we haven 't been talking much." "Listen, if you need anything, call." "Okay?" "I'm at Doug's." "Miss you." "Yeah, hi." "Dr. Halloran, this is Susan Lewis." "I hope I'm not calling too late." "I heard that you and your wife are looking to adopt a baby." "supplied by CoBeR coberus@go2.pl"
