"Hello darling. Do you need something?"
"Um, I need to tell you something."
"Are you hurt? Are you pregnant? Did you trip and break your heel? Did your dad tell you such a bad dad joke that you're about to die?"
"No, none of those. Why would I be pregnant?"
"That's what you got out of that sentence?"
"Yep."
"Well, the kid is not my son."
"Stop singing Billie Jean and let me tell you my news."
"Okay. What is it?"
"You know how I auditioned for the American Ballet Theater?"
"Yes...?"
"And you know how you need an interesting story so you don't get fired from the New York Times?"
"Yeah...?"
"Well, the American Ballet Theater has gotten some new ballerinas, and they would love for you to come in a write an article about them."
"Oh, and how did I get this job offer?"
"Well, one of the new ballerinas is dating the reporter and was able to worm him in."
"OH MY GOLLY! CONGRATULATIONS!"
"Thanks! Want to go get a celebratory dinner at the Sugar Factory and try to find some celebrities?"
"I'll be there in ten."
