TRUEPENNY: Hello?
the pause that speaks so eloquently of telemarketers
GUY: Hello? Is Mirrorthaw there?
TRUEPENNY (who was raised to be polite and moreover spent two summers working as a secretary): No, he's not. May I take a message?
GUY: My name is [X]. I'm calling for [Y], the local-area singles group. Do you happen to know if Mirrorthaw is single?
TRUEPENNY (very politely): No, he isn't. Thanks!
GUY: Oh.
TRUEPENNY hangs up the phone
