Start:

Hello, Murray? Call me back.

(He slams down the receiver and freezes, his hand perched over the phone. After a long pause, it rings.)

Murray, what took you so long? … The shower could have waited, Murray … The shampoo in the shower could have waited, Murray … The man with the shampoo in the shower could have waited, Murray. Anyway, I can’t talk now. I gotta keep the line free.

[... … …]

End:

But most of all, Murray, I am mysterious. Which is a quality you don’t find on every bar stool.
