Dollars Per Hour Chapter 72


    “Thank you for calling SpectraCom. My name is Rubin. Can I have your ten-digit phone number please?”

    “What do you want?”

    “...Uh... can I have... can I have your ten-digit phone number... please?”

    “Tell me why you called first, then I’ll give it to you.”

    “...Uh... you are aware, ma’am, correct... aware that you called me. You dialed, I didn’t. That means you called me.”

    “I know that! What do you think I am, an idiot?”

    “Uh...”

    “You called me. Why?”

    “Again... you called me.”

    “But you left a message on my answering machine. Why? I’m not telling you shit until you tell me why.”

    “Ma’am, we call for a number of reasons. Until I have your account up, I can’t possibly tell you why we called. I don’t even know who you are.”

    “Well, until you tell me why you called, I won’t tell you anything. You called me, you should be able to tell me why.”

    “No, ma’am, our computer called you and requested you call this department. Now, I need your phone number before I can find out why it called you.”

    “Well, I’m not telling you anything until you tell me why you called.”

    “Then I’m afraid we’ve reached an impasse. I can’t help you.”

    “Fine, fuck you then. Don’t call my house again.”
