[He lowered his head, the smile sheepish.]

Naw, don't worry about it. I miss ya, but technology's gotten real badass, y'know? You're a phone call away and it's fun thinkin' up little voicemail messages to leave behind if you're too busy to pick up.

I like to think I come up with sizzlers. ...Er, if- if it ain't too much. I'm pretty sure ya don't use speaker phone...

[He paled.]

Y-... y-ya don't use speaker phone, do ya!?
