[0:00] Hello dear.
[0:04] Hi.
[0:06] The boss is coming back tomorrow.
[0:12] Oh is he?
[0:13] I don't know what time.
[0:14] I didn't know whether you want to stay up or you want to go back or just what?
[0:18] Yes, I guess we better stay.
[0:21] Okay.
[0:21] Do you know what time?
[0:22] No, I don't have any idea.
[0:24] Uh-huh.
[0:25] Only, will we have to be on the job at 8 o'clock in the morning?
[0:28] If I was you, I'd sleep in.
[0:30] Oh, would you?
[0:31] I'll give you a call when I find out when he's coming up.
[0:34] Uh-huh.
[0:35] And you might want to call your boss tomorrow and see if he should come home or what, because I think he's coming up by himself.
[0:41] Oh, I...
[0:41] It seems ridiculous for you all to be here with him here by himself.
[0:45] Yes, I see.
[0:46] So you think I ought to check with my boss to find out?
[0:50] Yeah, I would.
[0:51] Unless you just want to stay up, we'll welcome you.
[0:54] Well, who is it that says whether we should come or not?
[0:59] Mr. Butterfield's the only one I know.
[1:02] Oh, uh-huh.
[1:02] Because I never can find out.
[1:05] The aide never knows.
[1:06] No, and I don't know.
[1:08] She just tells me the girls that are coming, who's going to come.
[1:14] It was a funny thing.
[1:17] Bernie said, suppose he comes back tomorrow and, you know, we're still here.
[1:21] Yeah.
[1:21] So would you give me a ring?
[1:24] Yes, I'll give you a ring in the morning when I find out.
[1:27] Uh-huh.
[1:28] Okay.
[1:28] And if you get up and you don't know anything, well, you can always just pick up the phone and ask for me.
[1:34] What time are you on the job?
[1:36] Me?
[1:36] Uh-huh.
[1:36] 24 hours a day.
[1:38] Oh, no kidding.
[1:39] Yeah, I'll be up by 7 o'clock.
[1:40] Okay.
[1:41] Well, thank you for calling.
[1:43] Okay.
[1:43] Have a good dinner, then.
