Frankie: Okay, sure. Let's give him a call. [on the phone] Hi, Dawn. It's Brick's mom. Yep... Well, just checking in 'cause the boys had such a great time on their playdate. Gerald's words. "Great time." Yeah. And Brick's had some other friends over in the last few days, but he keeps coming back to Gerald 'cause he just really had a connection. So we were wondering if Gerald would be interested in coming over to play again.
Dawn: [on the phone] Oh, he'd love to, but he's... sick.
Frankie: Oh! He's been sick. Ah! Oh, all right. Well, we'll try again another time. Yeah, and tell him we hope he gets better. Okay. Bye. [hangs up] [sighs] He's been sick. That's why he hasn't called in the last few days. Oh, well. You know what? This kind of news calls for ice cream. I'll get my coat.
