No, I'm not calling New York. Hello.

This is what I call real Christmas spirit.

From now on, I'll take all incoming calls.

- Yes, Anna? - Every telephone call isn't for you.

I'm calling from a booth in the Hotel Delmonico.

That was Warren Sheffield calling long-distance to propose.

It's way after 6:30, and Warren hasn't called yet.

I don t think you better mention this call to anyone.

Well, why else do you think he's calling you long-distance?

- h to pay if my family found out I called long-distance!

...before the call comes through. - Warren's 21. I think that's a perfect age.

- Shall I call Papa at the office? - Good heavens, no. What could he do?

Because thered be h to pay if my family knew I called long-distance.

Tootie, did you know a long-distance phone call was coming to this house?

Yes, this is Miss Rose Smith. Yes, you may put that New York call on.

It seems to me that one little phone call is causing an awful lot of excitement.

I'll bet there isn't another girl in St. Louis who's had a Yale man call long-distance...

Is it, now? I've got a cousin spells it the same way, and we call him Louie.
