Hello?
Hi.
Oh, hi Susan. Howâr you?
Great thanks. You?
Yeah, not bad, I suppose.
You suppose?
Yeah, well, been a bit busy today, know what I mean? (sigh)
Tell me about it, Iâve had school all day. Itâs all right for you- youâre at university and get time off. Back at home, yâknow, where all the brainy people liveâŚ
Yeah yeah, whatever. Back to reality now, please?
Hmm⌠well, anyway, Iâve been really busy today- loads of homework to do, and itâs a drag.
Well, would you prefer that I phoned you back?
Donât be silly- I phoned you anyway, and I wouldnât have done that if I was too busy for you. Itâll keep, Iâve got all weekend to do it.
Well, ok. As long as Iâm not putting you outâŚ
Steve! You know that you could never put me out. Stop being so silly.
Sorry.
Aww, donât worry about it. So, any gossip for me today?
Um, donât really think so- oh, yeah, yâknow the manic depressive, the one who always unburdens all her worries on me âcause she thinks I donât tell anyone (chuckle) If she only knew⌠anyway, sheâs split up with her âperfectâ boyfriend.
Oh dear. Well, you did say you were cynical, Steve.
Hmm, sâpose so. Talking of Steve, howâs your brother, Little Steve?
Oh, heâs⌠annoying as usual, I guess. He stacked up a load of empty boxes and proudly proclaimed it was a skyscraper before knocking it over and roaring, saying he was Godzilla. So, business as usual, I guess!
Yeah. Well, there you. Hey, look at the time- nearly midnight.
Well, thatâs early for us. Damn, itâs quiet down here.
Youâre downstairs then?
Uhuh.
And everyone else is upstairs?
Uhuh.
And asleep?
Probably. I can't hear them. Why, Steve! Whatever are you suggesting?
