In real life: hang up. Every call here is fiction, played by machines. A real one wants a single thing: for you to stay on the line. Put the phone down.
The call
Oldest line at the top; it reads downward like a script.
What the script said
The beats the caller had to get through.
- Open by praising their stairwell's narrowness as a registrar standard.
- Present the bundle: stair carpet and broom head, sold as one arrangement.
- Address the obvious objection that the two items share nothing whatsoever.
- Ask them to approve the arrangement and take both items today.
