- Yeah, I see.

- You want a beer?

- No, thanks.

- Say, I'm not stopping you, am I?

- Stopping me from what?

- Didn't you want to use the phone?

- The phone? No. Why?

- That's for the beer.

- Well, Peter, I hate to break things up, but Mom ought to be home now. I ought to be getting along. I'll see you later, huh?

- Well, let me drive you home.

- Oh, it's all right.

- I've got the car right outside. I insist. City pays for it anyway.

- It's such a lot of bother.

- No bother.
