If You Would Like To Leave A Message...

[the phone line answers to a pregnant pause]

caller: hello?

voicemail: hi, you've reached overboy's voicemail. i'm on an extended holiday while I sort a few things out in my head and will be back at some point. i check this line every so often, so leave a message and we'll catch up when i return -- thanks. oh, wait for the, you know...

[beep]

caller: over, its me... again; listen. i know you needed to duck out for a while, but you can't do this for too long. there are people that need to talk to you. i can hold them off, but only for so...

[phone line clicks over and voicemail beeps as the reciever is picked up]

overboy: [pauses and silence]

caller: hello?!

overboy: i'm getting your messages and i heard you fine the first time.

caller: but, you haven't called...

overboy: i heard you the first time; i said. now you'll get my call when you get my call.

[reciever clicks off to the phone line tone]

caller: but, i really need to talk to you...
