Why didn't you take my call?

Dave Garver

Where does it say that I gotta drop what I'm doing and answer the phone every time it rings?

Do you know your nostrils flare out into little wings when you're mad? It's kinda cute.

Dave Garver

Hello?

Sgt. McCallum

Garver!

Dave Garver

Yeah.

Sgt. McCallum

Sgt McCallum. Sorry to wake you but something has come up.

Dave Garver

Yeah I know, she just paid me a visit with a butcher knife.

Sgt. McCallum

Why? Because she was released on parole pending further legal action.

Dave Garver

When?

Sgt. McCallum

A week ago.

Dave Garver

Well I sure like the way you broke your ass to let me know about it!

Sgt. McCallum

I just found out about it myself.

Dave Garver

Who's in charge down there anyway?

Sgt. McCallum

Now look you wanna help find her or would you rather just sit there and belly-ache?

Dave Garver

All right.

Sgt. McCallum

Now exactly what did she say to you?

Dave Garver

I told you, she said that she was well and that she was going to Hawaii.

Sgt. McCallum

Uh what else?

Dave Garver

I already told you.

Sgt. McCallum

Well tell me again.

Dave Garver

You know Sergeant, you really make lousy conversation!

Sgt. McCallum

You make lousy coffee!

I should've known you'd never do anything to spoil it.

Dave Garver

To spoil what?

What we have between us.

Dave Garver

We don't have a goddam thing between us.

Don't you like me?

Dave Garver

You're a nice girl.

But who needs nice girls?

Dave Garver

I'm kind of hung up on one.

And you don't want to complicate your life.

Dave Garver

That's exactly right.

Well neither do I, but that's no reason we shouldn't sleep together tonight if we feel like it.

Dave Garver

There's a little spot in the middle of each day about your size.

Tobie Williams

Well there's lots of girls about my size if you're really looking.

Dave Garver

I'm not, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

Tobie Williams

You mean you've given up girls?

Dave Garver

Well I haven't exactly been the monk of the month or anything like that but I have been making an effort.

It was funny, I was calling you from that phone booth over there and he was telling me you'd left and I was staring at your car - isn't that funny.

Dave Garver

Kind of funny.
