Leona Stevenson: Operator! Operator! Operator!
Voice of Operator: Your call please?
Leona Stevenson: Operator, I've been ringing Murray Hill 35097 for the last half hour and the line is always busy. Will you ring it for me, please?


Henry Stevenson: You can't live on dreams forever. Waiting only weakens you and your dream. My motto is: "If you want something, get it now!"
