- Is it hot there?

- Yes, it's hot here too. I'm calling from a booth in the Hotel Delmonico.

- Can you hear me all right?

- Yes, I can hear you fine.

- What did you say, Warren?

- Nothing. I was waiting for you to talk.

- Oh.

- Well, did you want to discuss anything in particular?

- What?

- I said, was there anything special you wanted to ask me?

- I can't hear you, Rose.

- That's funny. I can hear you plainly.

- Isn't this great? Here I am in New York, and there you are in St. Louis and it's just like you're in the next room.

- What was that?

- I said it's just like you're in the next room!

- Say, Rose, I hope you won't misunderstand what I'm going to say.

- Yes?

- I don't think you better mention this call to anyone.
