"Hi, is Farina there?...It's me, Rat."
"You must be the guy who keeps writing."
"Yeah, that's me...I'm calling to see if she'd like to go on a date this Friday..."
"This is her husband."
"...Perhaps you know her schedule."
Yeah, but a clever slam. Rat implies that he knows how she behaved in the past, and so he casually tells her hubby, “So, of course she’s out and busy (heh heh) a lot…but just how much do you communicate? can she squeeze me in?”
Dumb situation to get in, Rat, but understandable. And great comeback. I think I usually just played stupid. Because I was.
