what was understood: when CH inadvertenly dials
BT’s voicemail from a pocketed cell phone, Liquor
Lyle’s, April 2002

CH: Thank God he moved on … pretty recent, I think …
he’s cool, he’s very cool.

BT: When are they gonna have me on the air? That’s the
question.

CH: (chuckles)

BT: That was a blast. That was the most fun I’ve had. I’m
guessing she was twenty-three, I didn’t ask. I would say
twenty-three at the most. CUTE! Really cool …

CH: (chuckles)

BT: AHHH! I need a girl like that. A girl to tell me what to
say TO HER.

JJ: … and now she’s having wild monkey sex

BT: … Exiled this week …

(table falls completely silent)

Waitress: … thank you, guys. Have a good night you
guys.

BT: Thanks a lot!

CH: Thank you.

(table falls completely silent)

JJ: I was gonna say something but I was waiting for you!

CH: (chuckles) You could hang out with her allllll the
time. (chuckles) That’s your intent? To be able to hang
out with her?

JJ: Nooo! I’m thinking of Bill and Jim!

CH: Like you could say to Bill or Jim: “God, you have
a nice girl.”
