Yes hello Rob. This is Nancy calling. I am just returning YOUR call. That I received...NOT on the telephone...BUT I might say I received it last night in a dream. (coughs) Because you have decided for some reason not to return my calls. It's fine!(laughs) I don't need you. I don't need your family. And I don't need Claudia. I would like her recipe for her fruit salad'�BUT other than that! (mumbles) I don't need human affection..I don't need it! I um...have been going for a while to some classes and I think they have improved Nancy as a whole..you know the 'Id'� of Nancy and who she is inside..(voice breaks) and I just want to say I respect your decision to not call me back I mean everyone is entitled their own opinion and people'�THEY CAN DIAL WHOEVER THEY WANT THESE DAYS! (gathers herself) But I mean I don't sit by the phone every night waiting for you. I don't think about you while'�I cook. Um'�and I don't..I don't'�call very often if you've noticed! Its been 46 days 3 hours and a minute since the last time I called you. (we hear a scratching noise) Every time on the COUCH Icicle?'�EVERY TIME??? GIVE MOMMY A BREAK! As I was saying...Claudia constantly makes me feel like a nag. I don't understand how anyone could think that. I don't go around bothering people'�there's nothing about me that would be annoying! I cant...I...I'm so!......I'm fine...Merry Christmas to you and your family. Me and Viola will be together by the Yuletide this year. Because our other cat Icicle has fallen ill'�so Viola'�(gets cut off by machine) APPARENTLY theres a time limit on the machines!!...hahaaha...thats embarrassing...anyways I have some things I need to do...some important things...cause you know I have to call other people. So! I will leave you with this...Gneckta 'good luck'� Gniecta Vecklecta Nemfdfna...that's Jewish for 'you and your kin'�'�'�blessed day'� and uh'�"have a good night sir!" I'm trying out Judaism. Nancy is...well this is the LAST time I am going to contact you without a response...so hopefully I'll hear from you in a couple of minutes. (hangs up)
