Miss Dial Page #5
So I'm pissed, right?
I am beyond pissed.
So I get in my car and
I run a red light, right.
So the cop is like ma'am, did
you see, uh, the red light,
you know and I was like, uh,
if I knew it was a red light,
I probably wouldn't have ran it
so I'm stupid now, I'm stupid.
Boom, I push him, whatever.
This leads to an illegal
search, in my opinion,
and he comes up with some
prescription pills and I do
have a prescription, ma'am,
for my anxiety but these,
these weren't those pills.
So I go to jail, right.
I go to jail.
we go to jail and he's like
you're gonna need
a lawyer, a lawyer!
So anyway, so this
is where you come in.
I'm gonna need some
help with a lawyer.
Ma'am what does any of this have
to do with CPI or its products?
Have you been listening
to a word I have said?
It was your beef jerky that
No, no, none of our products
contain chlorofluorocarbons.
CFCs were banned
in the U.S. in 1978.
No, I did not realize you could
use car wax for that purpose.
I'll be sure to pass
along your suggestion.
Okay.
No, no, you cannot get swine flu
from our pepperoni products.
Yes, I'm sure.
Yes.
its boxes from time to time.
You like the picture
of the white lady
eating the cereal better?
I'll be sure to pass
on that comment.
Okay then.
Alright, we'll get that
coupon right out to you.
Okay, have a great day.
Hey.
Hey.
I was wondering how long you
could go without talking to me.
Yeah, yeah I know.
I just, uh, I was actually
heading to the gym
before you
called and, um -
Oh, I'm sorry.
I've totally been
wasting your time.
No, no that's just it.
I actually went to the gym
like I planned but I just,
um, I couldn't stop
thinking about you.
Really?
Yeah. How weird is that?
I mean, I don't even really
know you but I'm, you know,
realize, I'm just picking up
things and putting them
down over and over again,
screw this, I'd rather be
home talking to Erica.
Yeah, I have that
effect on people.
Yeah, I guess you do.
Hey, uh, hang on a sec.
You there?
Yeah.
So, it's your dime, what
do you want to talk about now?
It's your dime?
How old are you?
Okay, touche.
No seriously, you know
what do you do for a living?
Please let it be something
worse than my job.
Ah, I'm sorry
to disappoint.
I'm an EMT.
Of course you are.
What's that
supposed to mean?
An EMT?
Well, it basically
means that you're hot,
you're in great shape and you
actually care about people.
Plus, you make more
money than a fireman so...
Ah, well see actually I'm part
of the unpaid internship program
for indifferent,
ugly people.
I stand corrected.
Yeah, it's new.
I'm not surprised you
haven't heard of it.
Okay, can I tell you
something really disgusting?
Okay.
I just ate an entire
batch of cookie dough mix.
Oh great.
Are you Bulimic?
No, I wish, I wish.
Actually I'm just fat.
That's funny, you don't
look fat in your picture.
What? Wait.
What picture?
The one on Facebook of you
and Samantha in the S&M gear.
It was Halloween!
Yeah, sure it was.
God.
Hey, you know what?
At least you
were the master.
Yeah, you know Sam
and I, you know,
we have a couple of drinks and
then we start to experiment...
Seriously?
No, you perv.
I don't know.
So what else did you
find out while you were
cyber stalking me?
Ah, I was just trying to
put a face to the voice.
Uh-huh.
Admit it.
You just wanted to
see if I was hot.
No.
Yeah, maybe.
And?
Yeah, you uh... yes,
mm-hmm, affirmative.
Okay, that's just not fair
because I have no idea
what you look like so.
Sure you do.
You know I'm extremely
hot, all EMTs are.
Come on!
I sent you
a friend request.
You did?
Hang on.
Kyle McAvoy.
Confirm.
Wait. Seriously?
You have your dog's picture
as your profile pic?
What's wrong with that?
A lot of people do that.
Yeah, if they're like
horribly disfigured
or part of the witness
protection program.
Yeah, or just
love your dog.
Oh well, that's what
Dogbook is for.
Dogbook?
What's Dogbook?
Oh wait, wait, wait.
Here is a real picture.
Oh...
Oh great.
Thank you.
That's just what
I want to hear.
What is the problem now?
Do you sleep with a
lot of women, Kyle?
Excuse me?
You are, uh, you're too good
looking to be monogamous.
I can't believe
you just said that.
Uh, oh damn.
I've gotta answer
some of these calls.
Just blow them off.
Okay, maybe for
a little while.
Well hang on, hang on.
Let me just check in
with my boss, okay?
Okay, I'll hold.
Okay, hold on.
Hi, Mr. Koffsky.
Hi, yeah it's, it's doing it
again, um, the network's down.
I can't see any calls.
Damn it, alright.
Let me see what
I can do on my end.
Listen, if I can't get this
figured out I'm gonna have
to send an IT guy over to
check out your computer.
Yeah, yeah, I mean,
because you know,
and out and in and out
and oh look, look,
I can see them now,
I can see the calls.
Oh, yeah, yeah,
they're there.
Okay, alright, good.
Well, take the calls and
I'll see what I can do
about them checking
the server.
Oh, oh, okay.
Thanks.
Okay, where were we?
You were just telling
me how hot I am.
Right, and modest.
So modest.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, okay so what
do you want?
Right now?
I could use
some ice cream.
I thought you just ate
all that cookie dough.
Yeah and?
No, I mean,
uh, in life.
Oh...
Oh, we're going there.
Yes, yes, we've entered
the deep thoughts part
of the conversation.
Ah, um, I don't know,
what do you want?
That we're not
talking about me.
You keep deflecting.
Eh, I don't know.
I mean, what
does anyone want?
Love, happiness.
I thought you
had a boyfriend.
Yeah, I do,
forgot, sorry.
Um, God, I don't,
I mean, you know,
I know I want
a family someday.
Ah, see, now we're
getting somewhere.
Okay, um,
how many kids?
Maybe three.
Three, that's
a good number.
You know, they say that
you want as many kids
as you grew up with.
Hmm, that's funny because
I have an older sister
and a younger brother.
Oh, well see.
Yeah, okay.
And, let's see, what else.
I majored in
poli-sci in college.
Ah, where'd you go?
Cal State Fullerton.
SUNY Binghamton.
Ah.
Yeah, so you know I never really
wanted to work in Washington,
I mean, I wasn't that
interested in politics.
What are you
interested in?
Uh, nothing.
See, I'm not buying that, I know
from your Facebook page that
you're part of the unnecessary
quotation mark hunters group.
Yes!
I hate that sh*t.
Like when you go up to the
register and there's a sign
that says no checks please
in quotation marks.
Like, uh, "No checks please,"
said John the owner.
Yeah.
Or it's facetious.
Right.
So actually maybe, you know,
they do take checks.
Right, right.
Okay, so, um, you don't love
your job but you can't quit
