Hello, this is Montague Restaurant, how can I help you?
Forget it, I'm done.
Awe, Vicky. Don't say that. I'm sure one day he'll come through.
Why do I bother?
He's your dad, you love him. The odd chance that he'll pull through is better than the thought that he'll never try.
True enough. Sorry about this. I seem to need you to comfort me during these calls now. It's embarrassing.
No worries Vicky. I don't mind.
Klair, would it seem strange to ask if you would like to have supper this Friday. At the restaurant?
A smidge.
Oh, well then... Uh... Never mind. I'm sorry. I'll hang up now.
Vicky?
Yes?
Can I call you, on my own phone?
Oh... Yes. Please do.
I will.
Don't you need my number?
It's on our records.
So you have records on me?
The restaurant. I'm not. I mean I don't.
It's alright Klair. I'm kidding. I'll look forward to your call.
Right. Bye.
Bye.
