(Paul enters the apartment to show his new
cell phone.)
Cheryl:
Hi, Paul
Paul:
Wait ‘til you see what I’ve got.
Bob:
What is it?
Paul:
Well, I have this problem with my cell phone. Whenever I’m traveling with a
group, I can never hear it ring or feel it vibrate. So I got this thing that
lets me know whenever my phone is ringing.
Marie:
How does it do that?
Paul:
It buzzes me.
Marie:
Buzzes?
Paul:
You know, buzz, buzz. So I can feel it.
Cheryl:
Does it work?
Paul:
I don’t know. No one’s called me yet ... Ow!
Marie:
What?!
Paul:
Someone’s calling me! Hello? Hello? No one’s there. Wow. That was a big buzz.
That almost hurt.
Cheryl:
Maybe it isn’t working right.
Paul:
It’s working fine ... Ooh! Ow! Another phone call. Hello? Hello? That’s
strange. Man, if I ever get used to that, I’ll always know whenever my phone is
ringing ... Ahhhhhh! Stop calling me!
Marie:
Paul. If I were you, I would take that thing back to the store before you hurt
yourself.
Paul:
I’m going. I’ll see you later.
Marie:
I hope he can drive OK.
Bob:
He’ll be fine.
Cheryl:
How do you know?
Bob:
I’ll stop calling him.
