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.
