Roger: A Walkie Talkie Production
Jeff: I’ve got a delivery for the director ready. Who wants it?
Cassidy: I’m about to give this family a tour.
Trevor: I have class in five minutes.
Scott: Roger that. I’m on it, boss. Over.
Roger: What? Did someone call me?
Meiya: No…Scott was just letting Jeff know he got the message.
Scott: What? Oh, yeah. Roger that.
Roger: *static noise* What is that? What do I need to do?
Trevor: Nothing, man. Everything’s taken care of.
Roger: Okay. Cool. Let me know if you need me.
Jeff: We’re missing one of the bikes – does anyone know what happened to the red one?
Meiya: I think one of the admins borrowed it for an hour or two.
Scott: No – I have it. I just finished a tour and am heading back to get the director’s delivery.
Jeff: That’s cool. Remember to log your checkouts in the future.
Scott: Roger that. I’ll remember that next time. Over.
Roger: What? I didn’t take it.
Scott: No, I said I have it.
Roger: Oh, I guess I misunderstood. I thought I heard my name.
Cassidy: Scott, stop saying “Roger.” It’s so confusing. We all know you get the message when you respond to it. You don’t need to tell us you got it.
*Pause*
Scott: Roger that, Cassidy.
*Communal groaning*
