:23:01
Yes, this is Miss Rose Smith.
Yes, you may put that New York call on.
:23:09
Hello, Warren.
Yes, I'm fine. How are you?
:23:14
Oh, I'm fine, Rose.
How's St. Louis?
:23:16
- What did you say?
- I said, how's St. Louis?
:23:20
- Oh, St. Louis is fine.
- Is it hot there?
:23:23
Yes, it's very hot.
It's as hot as July.
:23:26
- Is it hot there?
- Yes, it's hot here too.
:23:29
I'm calling from a booth
in the Hotel Delmonico.
:23:32
- Can you hear me all right?
- Yes, I can hear you fine.
:23:41
- What did you say, Warren?
- Nothing.
:23:44
I was waiting for you to talk.
:23:48
Well, did you want to discuss
anything in particular?
:23:52
What?
:23:54
I said, was there anything special
you wanted to ask me?
:23:59
- I can't hear you, Rose.
- That's funny. I can hear you plainly.
:24:04
Isn't this great? Here I am in New York,
and there you are in St. Louis...
:24:09
...and it's like you're in the next room.
:24:11
- What was that?
- I said it's just like you're in the next room!
:24:15
Say, Rose, I hope you won't
misunderstand what I'm going to say.
:24:20
Yes?
:24:22
I don't think you better
mention this call to anyone.
:24:26
Why not?
:24:27
Because there'd be "h" to pay if my
family knew I called long-distance.
:24:31
- What did you say?
- He said there'd be...
:24:34
- "h" to pay if my family
found out I called long-distance!
:24:37
That's strange. My family's home,
and they don't think anything of it.
:24:42
Well, I better not waste any more
of your time and money.
:24:45
- Wait, Rose. We've still got... 36 seconds.
- I have an engagement.
:24:50
I think I can hear Joe's voice now.
:24:53
Good evening, Joe.
:24:55
- I was gonna write you tonight.
- You can write to me tonight if you want.
:24:59
I'll write you right after I hang up.
