I don’t see why I should be expected to babysit a kid who’s as old as he is when…………. yes, I know ………………….
Dad told you that? No, I don’t think so, not after meeting them. If anything they’re a little too simple. No, not that kind of simple. Geez, you think I would leave Jeremiah with them if they…….? Yeah, yeah, I know. ………………..
He hasn’t called you yet? Figured he’d be on the horn immediately whining to you about how I abandoned him in the wilderness. ………..Yeah, I know………I’m not a country boy either…………..he’ll adapt. It’s not like he does anything but sit in front of that computer of his anyway……………………………………………………………

Yes, it’s a lead – you think I’d go to this much trouble for just some bit part in the company?……………… Yes, I’ll send you a playbill………….(laughs) Yes, I’ll even autograph it for you and everything …………sure, I can do that.
