Trent: Tomorrow… then a day.
Mike: So two days?
Trent: Yeah, I guess you could call it, two days… You know, I used to wait two days to call anybody, but now it’s like everyone in town waits two days. So I think three days is kind of money. What do you think?
Sue: Yeah, but two’s enough to not look anxious.
Trent: Yeah, but I think three days is kind of money…
Mike: Yeah, but you know what, maybe I’ll wait three weeks. How’s that? And tell her I was cleaning out my wallet and I just happened to run into her number.
