1--Please wait a moment. Hello, you have a collect call from Tommy. Would you like to accept the charges?
3--Yes of course.
1--Dad?
3--Yeah, Tommy, what happened, are you ok?
1--Yeah, dad, everything is ok. I'm calling you because I want to know if it's ok for me to go to my friend's house today after school.
3--Yeah sure, no problem. You scared me to death! I've told you to make a collect call in case of an emergency only! Why didn't you call me from your mobile phone?
2--I ran out of credit and I also didn't have twenty five cents for the pay phone. Sorry dad.
