ANSWERING MACHINE

(synthesized voice)

That's because it was a challenge. You

has control over you're situation. It

was hard, but you rose to it.

MIKE:

Okay. I'll think about that. Bye.

ANSWERING MACHINE

(synthesized voice)

You really should. Life, after all, is

really just a series of challenges...

MIKE:

(growing irate)

Enough. I've got to use the phone.

ANSWERING MACHINE

(synthesized voice)

Are you calling Her?

MIKE:

No. Stop, come on.

The LED goes black as the machine beeps off. Mike picks up

the phone and hits autodial.

Machine beeps off. Phone rings again, then is answered.

TRENT:

(over phone)

Hello?

MIKE:

S'up Trent?

TRENT:

Lemme get off the other line, baby.

We hear the clicks of call-waiting-hold limbo. The silence

is interrupted.

ANSWERING MACHINE

(synthesized voice over phone)

You should call your Grandmother.

MIKE:

Shuddup.

TRENT:

(returning to line)

That was Sue. We got two parties

tonight. One's for a modeling agency.

MIKE:

I don't know...

TRENT:

Listen to me, baby, there are going to be

beautiful babies there.

MIKE:

Trent, I don't feel like going out

tonight. I got sh*t to do tomorrow...

TRENT:

Listen to you. I got an audition for a

pilot at nine and I'm going. You gotta

get out with some beautiful babies. You

can't sit home thinking about her.

MIKE:

I don't know...

TRENT:

I don't know, I don't know- listen to

you. We're gonna have fun tonight. We

gotta get you out of that stuffy

apartment.
