Secretary: He just left.

 

John: When do you expect him back?

 

Secretary: I'm sorry, but he's gone for the day. Would you care to leave a message?

 

John: Could you tell him that John Smith called and have him call me back tomorrow?

 

Secretary: Sure. May I have your phone number?

 

John: I think he has my number.

 

Secretary: Thank you, Mr. Smith. I'll tell him you called.

 

John: Thanks!
