Al is on the phone with Mister Milton.
“Sounds good to hear yours,” says Al. “Yes.” Al motions for Millie to get a cigarette.
“Yes, indeed, Mister Milton,” says Al. “Yes. Well, not too bad. Yes. Why, of course! Very kind of you to say that.” Millie lights his cigarette.
“Mm-hm,” says Al. “Mm-hm. Yes. Well, I’ll certainly drop in. Oh, she’s fine. Thank you. Ye-e-e-s. They’re fine, too.” Millie mouths the last three words of the predictable conversation.
“Well – – I – -” says Al, trying to get a word in the conversation. “That’s – – Thank you, Mister Milton. Good – Good- G– Good – – Goodbye!” Al hangs up the phone.
“Mister Milton,” says Al, to Millie.
