Pat Maine
Well, I was just outside for a breath of fresh air, and what a night! I know most of you are probably in your beds by now, but if you're still up and around, take a moment! Step outside for a spell and breathe in deep. The weather is absolutely still, the sky is crystal clear. It's like the forest is quietly breathing along with you. As you listeners know, I'm a night owl, and it's on nights like this I wish I wasn't cooped up in the studio. Makes an old man like me wish I could just roam wild. Heh. But here I am, and who'd keep you company all night long if I weren't? Oh, and looks like I'm not the only one staying up late. Caller, you're on the air.
Maurice Horton
Hey, Pat, it's Maurice Horton.
Pat Maine
Hello, Maurice. What're you up to?
Maurice Horton
Well, I was just taking Toby on his walkies.
Pat Maine
Oh, isn't it beautiful out there?
Maurice Horton
Sure. But Pat, the reason I called is that Toby heard something rustlin' in the undergrowth and took off after it, and I couldn't find him.
Pat Maine
Probably a rabbit.
Maurice Horton
Sure, Toby loves rabbits.
Pat Maine
Well, sure.
Maurice Horton
Anyway, I figured that, you know, if anyone runs into Toby, they could grab him. My
number's on his collar.
Pat Maine
And Toby's a friendly dog?
Maurice Horton
Oh, Toby loves people. Usually he comes back, but we were pretty far from home and it sounds like he went pretty wild there. Great dog, but he's just too dumb for his own good.
Pat Maine
Ha ha! Well, Maurice, it's out there now. Hope Toby comes home soon.
Maurice Horton
Yeah, thanks Pat.
Pat Maine
You have a good night now.
