İyi geceler, nasıl yardımcı olabilirim? Nedir bunlar? Kıyamet gibi. Biri bir şeye mi üfledi ne oldu? Yok… Bunlar hiç bizim yapacağımız türden hatırlatmalar değil… Öyleyse kim… Lütfen hattan ayrılmayın. Bizim de başımıza ilk kez geliyor. Sanırız sorun bir, bir buçuk saat içinde düzelir. Oyun bitene kadar. Düzelmezse, numaramızı biliyorsunuz… 444… Yalnız, konuşmalarınızın kayda alındığını hatırlatmak isterim. Tabii şimdilik…
İyi geceler. Size hatırlatmamızı istediğiniz başka bir şey var mı?
