Dr. Patterson and David Banner in “Earthquakes Happen”

[on the phone] Hello.

[on the phone] Uh, Dr. Patterson.

Yes.

Hello, this is Ted Hammond of the Nuclear Research Facility in San Tomas California.

Oh, yes, Mr. Hammond, how are you?

Fine, fine. Thank you. Listen, about your inspection trip tomorrow.

No problem. Have your letter right here. And I'll bring the stress analysis program. Borrowed one of the universities prototypes.

Yes, yes. Fine, but uh, you see, Doctor, the reason for the call. Well, a rather urgent administrative problem has come up.

Nothing serious I hope.

No, no. It's just that, well I think it might be better if you were to delay your trip one more day, and that would give me a chance to get free so that I could assist you personally when you arrive.

No problem, Mr. Hammond. Things come up, I understand.

Fine. Well, thank you very much, Doctor, and I'll see you in two days. Goodbye.
