*riiiiiing* *riiiiiiiiing*

Jon: Hello?

Richie: Hey Jon, it's Richie.

Jon: Richie! Hey, how's it going? Sorry to hear about you splitting up with whatever former super-model you've been recently dating.

Richie: No problem, man. Hey, listen, I wanted to talk to you about this Unplugged show that we're shooting for CMT tomorrow.

Jon: Yeah?

Richie: I don't mean to be a nervous Nelly, but we haven't even rehearsed for it. I know you got that undergrad to do the string arrangements, but what are we supposed to do?

Jon: Let's just play everything at half it's normal tempo, I'll hold out the "meaningful" lyrical passages for twice as long as I normally do and we'll be fine.

Richie: Are you gonna whisper a lot?

Jon: Well, I think that's a given, I mean we are unplugged.

Richie: Cool, man, I knew you'd have a plan.

Jon: No problem. Hey, this may not be the greatest time to bring this up, but, man have you packed on the pounds or what?

Richie: *click*


And, scene.
