Canter: Hello?
Mozeliak: Hey there, Steve. This is John, from St. Louis.
Canter: What's up?
Mozeliak: Not too much. You're still representing Horacio Ramirez, right?
Canter: Yeah.
Mozeliak: Great, thanks.
Canter:
Canter: ...so are you interested?
Mozeliak: No, no, I've already got all I need. Thanks though.
Canter: You're not interested in Horacio at all?
Mozeliak: Heavens no.
Canter: Then why on earth did you call me?
Mozeliak: I'm taking a survey.
Mozeliak: You know, checking my list of who represents who.
Mozeliak: But hey, thanks for your help.

Canter: Hello?
Flanagan: Steve, it's Mike.
Canter: Hey Mike, how are you doing?
Flanagan: Pretty good, pretty good. Always busy.
Canter: I hear that.
Flanagan: So listen, the Mariners dumped Horacio, right?
Canter: Yeah, he's out there on the open market right now.
Flanagan: Terrific. Would he be interested in signing with the Orioles?
Canter: No.
Flanagan: I
Flanagan: We'd be giving him a Major League contract. And we could just about guarantee him a spot in the rotation.
Canter: Did I stutter?
----------
Canter: Hello?
Epstein: Hey Steve, it's Theo.
Canter: Oh hey, hi! It's good to hear from you.
Epstein: So you're still representing Horacio Ramirez, right?
Canter: You bet.
Epstein: That's great. I watched the guy pitch pretty often last year, he had some interesting stuff.
Canter: Yeah, he's definitely a unique kind of pitcher. That's one of the things I try to emphasize.
Epstein: He's certainly intriguing.
Epstein: That's why I was wondering, do you think he'd be interested in pitching for New York?
Canter: Absolutely, he'd definitely be interested. Horacio's always wanted to pitch in a big market. He really thrives when he's in the spotlight.
Epstein: That's great, that's great. That's definitely the kind of move I want to make. Let me draw up some paperwork here real quick. Do you have a fax number so I can send it right over?
Canter: Oh yeah, yeah I do. Have a pen?
Epstein: Got one right here.
Canter: Okay. The number is (676) 555-1770.
Epstein: Awesome, thanks! Just give me two minutes.
Canter: No problem.
Canter:
Canter: Hey wait a minute
