GN: No, thanks. T "G" O'H: You sure? Coffee? GN: No, thanks. T "G" O'H: Water? Soda? GN: Really, Toby. I'm fine. T "G" O'H: Because it's no problem. GN: I don't want anything. I'm here to interview you. T "G" O'H: Well, OK. If you're sure. Just let me know if at any time you change you're mind. GN: Will do. Now why don't you tell me what your job title is. T "G" O'H: I'm an errand boy. GN: And what do you do for us here at Amalgamated Humor? T "G" O'H: Oh, I run any errand that company officers need done. I get beverages, delivery packages and memos, distract and delay spouses, that sort of thing. GN: Do you enjoy it? T "G" O'H: Gosh yes, Mr. Newbrunswick. I think it's swell! I'll show you how much I like it! Give me an errand to run! GN: I really don't have any right now, Toby. Besides, we need to finish this interview. T "G" O'H: I'm awfully fast. GN: I know. Now tell me, what do you hope to do when you grow up? T "G" O'H: Well, I hope to stay on here at Amalgamated Humor, helping spread the laughter. GN: Right. In what capacity? T "G" O'H: Golly, Mr. NewB. I haven't thought much about it. Maybe I'll just stay on as errand boy. GN: Well, Toby, I think (clears throat). Excuse me. T "G" O'H: Gosh, Mr. NewB, you sound parched. GN: I'm fine. T "G" O'H: Let me get you something. GN: No. T "G" O'H: Water? GN: No thank you. T "G" O'H: A lozenge? GN: Stop it. T "G" O'H: Anything? GN: You've never had to sit still this long in your life, have you, Toby? T "G" O'H: No, and it's making the crickets that live in my head just scream like ain't nobody's business. GN: What was that? T "G" O'H: I'll go get that water!
