"I am sorry to bother you again, but does it do this often? This telephone, is it only used for strange, obscene messages? Because I'm not sure I care to listen to them every day.

Suggesting that one should take off items of clothing before even having a polite conversation? In that case I believe I prefer books."
"For godsake you are a child. I ain't talkin' about the state of -- hang on." A pause to sneeze. "There ain't some kinda -- pants thing going on today, is there? What're they, goin' sentient and runnin' away or something?"
