- I helped you, now help me.
- Not good with girls, are you?
-Not clingy girls, not girls who jump on me while I'm preparing for my act. No.

-That works?
-Yes, and unlike you, who hung up on me, I will give you another quick hint.
-By all means.

-I'm hanging up now.
-For crying out loud, can we not have one decent conversation where you don't hang up on me!
-Well when will you stop talking?
-Fine. Trying to be helpful. For what? GOODBYE!
-Well this time you hung up on me...
