"Hello?"

"Hi Zachary, this is George."

"Well hello Geo...I mean, Mr. Steinbrenner!"

"It's okay Zachary, you can call me George."

"Okay George, to what do I owe this call?"

"Well, I just wanted to call and let you know that I'm pleased with the way the team is performing on the field thus far, and I wanted to let you know that you have free reign to pursue whatever deals you think might improve the ballclub."

"Well that's good to know sir, because I was actually thinking about the possibility of upgrading our talent at second base, because that seems to be a real weakness in our lineup."

"Well, do whatever it takes, as long as you run it by me first."

"I'll be sure to do that sir, and thank you for your call."

"You're welcome...keep up the good work and we may not have to look far to find a permanent replacement at General Manager."

"Well that's good to know!"
