"You've reached Sophie's voicemail. Either I'm busy or I'm ignoring you, so leave a message at the tone and I might, or might not, call you back. If you're someone I don't like, your message will be deleted without being listened to. You've been fairy warned! Bye."
"Your voicemail greeting is very typical of you. I do wonder, however, if you're busy or ignoring me. You can let me know tomorrow. I have no idea what else to say. Obviously, I'm not good at this sort of thing. So, uh, well... Yes. God, Daniel, this is pathetic. Um, ignore that last comment. This really isn't going well. At all. I should stop talking now. We'll talk tomorrow, I suppose. Enjoy whatever it is you're doing. Goodbye? Bye, Sophie. Sorry about this message, by the way! Yeah, good night. I mean, good afternoon? Or... bye? I'm hanging up now before this gets embarrassing. Cheerio. God, I did not just say that! I'm going now."
