Y: This is Mr. Yeoman, is Mr. Vasilyevich in?
Receptionist: Just a moment, I'll check.
Y: Thank you.
Receptionist: Can I tell him your name?
Y: Um, Mr. Yeoman.
Receptionist: And will he know the nature of the call?
Y: Yes, I'm returning his call.
Receptionist: Are you a client of his?
Y: No, I'm the lawyer representing the guy his client is suing.
Receptionist: And to what may I tell him this refers?
Y: (now agitated): I think if he called me about it, he'll probably know.
Receptionist: And how do you spell your name?
Y: Y-e-o-m-a-n.
Receptionist: Just a moment . . .
(Hold Music)
Receptionist: I'm sorry, he just left for lunch.
Y: At 10:30?
Receptionist: Yes, he's hungry.
Y: No wonder, every time I see him at a deposition he's on the no food diet.
Receptionist: Can I leave him a message?
Y: Well, he was calling me, tell him I called back.
Receptionist: And can I tell him what the nature of the call was?
