[Father] “Hello Frank!
[Mother] —Happy birthday, darling!
[Father] —Happy birthday! Many happy returns of the day.
[Mother] —[…]
[Son, talking to Hal] — A bit higher, Hal.
[Father] — Now, Mother and I are both feeling wonderfull, too. Ray and sally were going to be here, too, but at the last minute Ray’s back went bad on him again.
[Mother] —How do you like your cake, dear?
[Father] —Looks great, desn’t it? Sorry you can’t join us.
[Mother] —ya.
[Father] —Oh, I ran into Bob the other day. He said to be sure and wish you a happy birthday.
[Mother] —All my students made me promise to send their best wishes, too. You know they talk about you all the time in the classroom. Frank, you’re a big celebrity in the second grade. You know we were on television last week?
[Father] —Oh, yes! Yes! Your mother and I and Dave’s parent were interviewed about what we thought of our illustrious sons. You can imagine what we told’em. I think it’s being broadcast next thursday. Perhaps you’ll be able to listen in.
[Mother] —Oh, we were thrilled about Elaine and Bill, dear. I’ll be glad to get the present for you, but please tell me how much I can spend.
[Father] —Oh, yes, Frank, about your AGS-19 payments, I think I straightened it out for you. I talked to the Accounting Office in Houston yesterday, and they said you should be receiving your higher rates of pay by next month.
Well Frank, I can’t think of anything else to say, now.
[Mother] —Oh, give our love to Dave.
[Father] —Oh yes, be sure to give him my best regards.
We wish you the very happiest of birthdays.
[Mother] —God bless.
[Father] —All the best, son.
[Mother & Father] — ♬ Happy birthday to you! ♪happy birthday to you! ♫ happy birthday dear Frank! ♬ happy birthday to you! ♫
[Father] —See you next wednesday.”
