      Dr. Katz: [after answering the phone] Who should I say is calling?

      Ben Katz: Is that for me?

      Dr. Katz: [to Ben] Yeah. It's Cindy from Tele-Purchases.

      Ben Katz: Oh, my main squeeze. I love it.

      Dr. Katz: [to Cindy] Uh, y-y-yeah, Ben has told me all about you. This is, yeah, I'm, uh...

      Ben Katz: Dad, please.

      Dr. Katz: ...Dr. Katz, and I'm Ben's, uh... I'm Ben's father.

      Ben Katz: [sighs] Oh my God. Gimme the phone, dad.

      Dr. Katz: Hey, B-B-Ben...

      Ben Katz: Don't embarrass me.

      Dr. Katz: ...it's, it's...

      Ben Katz: I KNOW who it is!

      Dr. Katz: ...It's CINDY, the one you were telling me about.

      Ben Katz: Well gimme the phone!

      Dr. Katz: Okay, one sec, but just...

      [to Cindy]

      Dr. Katz: yes, yes, yes. One second, I'll get him.

      Ben Katz: [grabs phone] Thanks. Dad, can you, uh...

      [clicks mouth]

      Ben Katz: gimme, uh...

      Dr. Katz: What?

      Ben Katz: Can you,

      [whistles]

      Ben Katz: out, through the revolving door there? Would you mind, dad?

      Dr. Katz: I'm just finishing my coffee, so...

      Ben Katz: Don't hit your fat ass on the way out, on the door, okay?

      Dr. Katz: I'm not listening, Ben, so just go ahead, y'know?

      Ben Katz: [whispering] Dad, get out. NOW.

      Dr. Katz: [also whispering] Ben, why can't I be in the same room as you?

      Ben Katz: 'Cause dad, I'm trying to get a little privacy on the phone.

      Dr. Katz: Yeah, but we don't have any secrets from each other, there's nothing you can't say...

      Ben Katz: If YOU wanted some privacy, I would leave the room.

      Dr. Katz: But there's nothing you can't say...

      Ben Katz: I don't wanna have this argument right now, I'll have it with you later! Right now, I wanna talk on the phone!

      Dr. Katz: Well, now's when I'm available.

      Ben Katz: This is costing SOMEBODY money. So why don't you get out of the room?

      Dr. Katz: Why don't you treat your father with a little respect?

      Ben Katz: Yeah, use the

      [bleep]

      Ben Katz: -ing door!

      Dr. Katz: Okay, but I don't see why I have to leave the room...

      Ben Katz: Dad, would you please-

      [to Cindy]

      Ben Katz: Cindy, could you hold one second, 'cause I'm just gonna, just gotta...

      [to Dr. Katz, whispering]

      Ben Katz: Dad, get out. OUT.

      Dr. Katz: Okay, I'm-I'm out. This, this, this hurts my feelings, Ben, and we're gonna have to deal with this later.

      Ben Katz: Fine, we'll deal with it later.

      [seconds later, whispering]

      Ben Katz: Dad.

      Dr. Katz: [still whispering] What?

      Ben Katz: Come back.

      Dr. Katz: Why?

      Ben Katz: I need your credit card.
