"You should call her."

"Call her?"

"Yeah. Let her know you got to Oregon ok, that you�re settling in, that your fantastically wonderful sister is helping you. You know, things like that."

"Sure. Right after I talk to the Northwest DCCC Coordinator, I'll rush right out and do it."

"Good."

"I was joking."

"I know. I wasn't."

"Why are you pushing me to call her?"

"Because I like her. And she was good for you."

"I know you liked Kate, but I didn't realize you liked her /that/ much."

"I wasn't talking about Kate, Willy."

"Will. And if it's not Kate you're talking about, then who?"

"Andy."

"I'm sorry. I thought I just heard you say Andy."

"I did. Congresswoman Andrea Wyatt, Democratic representative to Maryland's 5th District."

"You've been practicing that, haven't you?"

"Maybe. You should call her."

"I should most definitely /not/ call her,"

"Why?"

"Why? I can name at least three reasons -- Huck, Molly, Toby."

"Don't be ridiculous. Huck and Molly would love to hear your voice."

"And Toby?"

"Ok, he probably wouldn't, but�"

"Exactly. And as Andy's husband �"

"/Ex/-husband,"

"Fine. Ex-husband. As Andy's ex-husband and my former boss, I really don't think it would be wise to call her."

"You're a wuss."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"If I call her will you shut up about it?"

"That depends. Are you really going to call her?"

"Hand me the phone."
