[Cue so much clattering and noise she can probably hear through the walls before he picks up.]
Oh, hi Laverne! Yeah, me and Squig hooked up this machine to the phone so it can pick up calls while we're gone. We made it out of some old wires, a couple of record players, an old sock and some newspapers.
Don't let Allen Steckler know about it! (Shirl made me go out with him once.) Anyway, it's my turn to go grocery shoppin' tomorrow, and Shirley's gotta shampoo Boo Boo Kitty (don't ask), so I thought-- Beep!
I remember that. Terry was worried it meant they was goin' steady.
Sorry I hung up yesterday. Traffic noises outside the window. We hear more of those down here than you guys do up there. Anyway, let me know if you wanna go shoppin' with me. I'm leavin' in half an hour.

[The Boo Boo Kitty shampooing thing kinda makes sense to him? Well, he's shampooed Jeffrey before.]
...Is someone beeping you there, Laverne?
[Part of him knows what she means, the rest of him just wants her to admit she wants to hang out with him.]

S'OK. Already got a list, just meet me in the lobby when you're ready to go.

[She almost says something about a foot fetish but stops herself.]
Let me just grab my purse and I'll be there. Thanks, Len.

Okay, I'll see you real soon!
