Transcript

Mom, it's Melvin. Look, my friend, we're gonna be late. You're gonna be late? He's gonna be late. Your father says your sister's never late. She got more consideration. I've got to work. He's gotta work.

I'll tell you this. They're working you too hard. They're slave drivers, those people. I'll be an hour. I'll come down. I'll bring your sandwich. Your father'll run me. You run me. He there, no sandwich.

I'll bring you a jumper. I don't want a sandwich. I don't want a jumper. This is a modern air-conditioned building! It's never easy explaining why you're late, but a call shows you care. You never told me it was air-conditioned.

Why would I tell you? Melvin, some children talk to their parents. Now, what do you want in your sandwich? I got that matured Canadian cheddar that you like. I wish I'd known I hadn't got a lot in.

Still, thanks for the call. British telecom. It's you, we answer to.
