el Maggie (eM) - Hello?
Cheery Telemarketer (CT) - Hello ma'am, I'm calling from Rogers, is Mr. E-M there?
eM - No, but you can talk to me?
CT - Are you, uh, Mrs. E-M?
eM - yup.
CT - Phew - I never know what to ask there. I am calling with a special offer for Rogers Cable.
eM - Sorry, we're not interested. Thanks for calling.
CT - Oh, is it because of the price?
eM - No, we just don't want cable.
CT - You mean there's something missing in our service that you can get from other providers?
eM - No. We don't have cable and we don't want it.
CT - Is that because of something lacking in our package?
eM - Uh, no. You're talking about cable TV, right? Like a whole bunch of channels on the television? We don't have that and we don't want it. At all. From any service provider.
CT - Seriously?! Uh . . . . thanks for your time.
eM - Have a great evening.
