Quote from Will in Eyes on the Prize
Vivian: Well, I just called the repairman from the car phone. They can't come out until tomorrow. Hilary: No phone service for 24 hours? This is a nightmare. I mean, it's like we've vanished off the face of the earth! Philip: Don't be so dramatic, Hilary. Will: Hey, she's not being dramatic. Jimmie Walker's phone went out for 24 hours in the late 70s and, hey, well, y'all know the rest.
