Good Afternoon ! This is the Pines Hotel. How may I help you ?
May I please speak to my son Norman.
I am sorry Ma'am but Norman is assisting one of our guest's who is having difficulty with the shower. And then after that he has to take care of a few cars that have been abandoned in our parking lot.
Oh, I see. Please have Norman call his Mother as soon possible.
Yes Ma'am. Would you care to leave a message for Norman.
Yes sir. Please let Norman know that a plain clothes detective has been to the house this morning. He has a few questions concerning a missing woman from a real estate company in Phoenix, Arizona along with $40,000 of currency. I keep telling Norman to stop talking to these woman who sleep in their cars all night long but he just will not listen.
Yes Ma'am. We sure will give Norman the message. Will there be anything else ?
Oh, I almost forgot. Please ask Norman to pick up my dresses from the dry cleaners after he is finished with work today. And please do not let Norman play in the swamp anymore during his lunch break. I am getting very tired of cleaning the mud off of his shoes every couple of weeks.
