ME: Hello. (long pause ) Hello!?!?! (pause) It's your dime - start talking
Caller: EES PAHTREEK Dere. PAHTREEK ? (Bollywood Spy Theme music in background)
Me:No one ever good news-ed me with Patrick , but yes . . .
Caller:PAHTREEK - DESE EES BRY UHN FREM MAHJESTIC SIDING EN OCH - LOAN EEL-ENOY . . .
Me: No Sale, Bub! Brickhouse - Like Jack. Vale te, Bryo!(click)
