010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
FREY: It's okay. No, she’s not…she didn’t fall asleep in there today cause
she was just so fussy…
PETERSON: Amber, say that again?
FREY: I said she was so fussy I
brought her into the bedroom, she didn't
want to go to sleep.
PETERSON: Amber, I can't hear you right now. Hold on. Is this better?
FREY: Yeah, I could hear you fine.
PETERSON: I can barely hear you. Okay.
FREY: Can you hear me?
PETERSON: So, yeah, okay. But she’s laying down in front of the sofa?
FREY: No, she's in bed.
PETERSON: She's in your bed?
FREY: She’s in my bed. She's sleeping.
PETERSON:
FREY: She’s been saying teddy bear
and tea.
PETERSON: Oh, yeah.
FREY: She had me put tea in her cup instead of…
PETERSON: Ah!
FREY: I put a little bit with water. And what else does she have? Last
night she slept with a...a lei, a pink
Iei around her neck.
PETERSON: How cute.
FREY: She had that all tangled up.
And teddy bear and juice.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: Or water in her cup.

010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
FREY: She
had her usual cheese before she went to bed tonight.
PETERSON: Excellent. String cheese? How
cute.
FREY: But
yeah, the new thing is, “Mama, I want tea.” I mean so
many...she's saying, “What is that, mama?” I want to…four, well
four-letter sentences.
PETERSON: Wow, that's awesome.
FREY: So.
PETERSON: Wow, that's so cool.
FREY: She's taking off, it’s…you
know, it’s been exciting.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: So, how are you?
PETERSON: Do you know what time...do you
know what time it is here?
FREY: Um…well, not.
PETERSON: 7:00 o'clock. And this is why I'm
up, I am determined to go out and
jog.
FREY: Really?
PETERSON: I’m going to fight
pudge boy.
FREY: So you ate too much with your
folks, huh?
PETERSON: Yeah. Well, not with them but
certainly in the last couple days I
have.
FREY: The what?
PETERSON: Certainly in the last couple days
I have.
FREY: So what have you been eating?
PETERSON: What's that?
FREY: So what have you been eating
to make you pudgy?
Page 5 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
PETERSON: Oh, just all this French food.
FREY: Uh-hum.
PETERSON: And all this wine. And last
night…well, this morning too there is this
fucking dog next to this hotel.
FREY: This what?
PETERSON: This dog that just keeps barking.
FREY: Really?
PETERSON: Oh, I want to kill it.
FREY:
PETERSON: I got here like at 2:00 this morning, but I’m going to fight the pudge.
FREY: So you’re gonna go jogging at 7:00 o’clock in the morning?
PETERSON: It it is so cold outside.
FREY: I was
gonna say, isn't it cold?
PETERSON: It is freezing. There's no snow
on the ground, but it…oh, it was so
cold last night.
FREY: I mean, it’s been cold here. I woke up this morning and it was kind
of frosty a little bit.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: So but I mean the days are
nice. The sun comes out and the sky is
clear and it’s been really beautiful. You can see the mountains
really clear and all the snow on top.
PETERSON: Um…
FREY: And I was thinking maybe I...
PETERSON: Sounds nice.
FREY: …take
Ayianna to the snow. Um…I don’t think I took her to the
snow last year.
Page 6 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
PETERSON: No?
FREY: So I was thinking this year,
it would be a great time. I think she’d
really enjoy, you know, the snow.
PETERSON: Oh, definitely.
FREY: Have to get her little
gloves.
PETERSON: She can put together a whole
sentence, mom, I want to go to the
snow.
FREY: That would be so…
PETERSON: And you can say baby, we’ll go.
(pause) Amber, you there?
FREY: I'm here. Bundle her up with
her Barbie jacket.
PETERSON: You are?
FREY: No, I said wish...
PETERSON: Oh, you're going to bundle up?
FREY: Uh huh. That’s a good one
though. I think that…
PETERSON: That would be cool. I’m so
awake. I was so tired when the damn
alarm…
FREY:
Huh, what was that?
PETERSON: I was so tired when the damn alarm
went off this morning. Now,
I’m so awake calling you.
FREY: I energize ya?
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: So how long a distance are you going? Um…are you just gonna
jog around the streets or…?
PETERSON: Yeah, pretty much, yeah. I don’t
know. I’m just gonna run. I
don’t…I kind of remember the area here
FREY:
Uh-hum.
Page 7 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
PETERSON: But not
really that well, but I’ll jog down to the main square.
FREY: Uh-hum.
PETERSON: Which is kind of neat with all the
big churches in the background.
FREY: Yeah, I don’t even really, you know, know even how...l mean
I’ve…the only times I’ve really seen Paris is,
you know…
PETERSON: I’m in Brussels now.
FREY: Oh, you're...that's right,
you took the train to Brussels. Well…
PETERSON: Yeah, __________
FREY: You're in Europe though,
right?
PETERSON: Oh, yeah.
FREY: The area there, I mean it’s
different than here isn't it? I mean
there's cities and the way the neighborhoods are or is it very
similar?
PETERSON: No, it’s…no. I mean I’m in the
city so it’s much cleaner obviously
than most cities that you…American cities.
FREY: Uh-hum.
PETERSON: At least Brussels is. Paris is
pretty clean. Yeah, there won’t be
anyone out I’m sure. People get up, you know, like 9:00 and 10:00.
FREY: So how it is they have such a
luxury to sleep in?
PETERSON: Well, just because they work until
8:00 or 9:00 in the evening.
FREY: Really?
PETERSON: Yeah. They probably work from
9:00 to 9:00 with a couple hour
lunch.
FREY: Uh-hum.
PETERSON: You know, they work late, they
have more holidays during the year.
FREY: They what?
Page 8 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
PETERSON: They
have more holidays during the year.
FREY: They have more holidays?
PETERSON: Oh, yeah. They average like…like
in Brussels they have two…
FREY: Are their holidays different
than English…United States or in
California?
PETERSON: They have regular U.S. holidays
plus more. And they’ll have
like two months off usually a year.
FREY: Wow!
PETERSON: So then they make up for it by
working 10 hours every day.
FREY: Oh! I just sat in…oh, potato
on me or something, Ayianna dropped
something…
PETERSON: Okay.
FREY: I just sat in...or put my hand down in some…
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Hey, there you are.
FREY: I’m here. Can you hear me?
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: Yes.
PETERSON: Yeah, I miss you baby.
FREY: I miss you too.
PETERSON: Amber, I can’t hear you.
FREY: I'm right here, I'm here.
PETERSON: Okay. Hello? Sweetie?
FREY: Yeah.

010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
PETERSON: (static)
FREY: So did you think of your New
Year's resolution?
PETERSON: What's that?
FREY: So did you think of your New
Year's resolution?
PETERSON: Yeah, I think so. Can I keep it
to myself?
FREY: Why? You don't want to
share?
PETERSON: What's that?
FREY: I said you don’t want to
share?
PETERSON: I can’t hear you. What'd you say?
FREY: You don't want to share?
PETERSON: Urn…I haven't decided exactly
yet. I need to decide if this is going
to be it and then I’ll share.
FREY: Okay.
PETERSON: Is that fair?
FREY: That sounds fair, yeah.
PETERSON: Oh, perfect
FREY: Oh, last night, oh, my gosh.
PETERSON: You got a little hangover?
FREY: Um…a little bit, yeah. Yeah, a little bit. I’ve got one today.
Um…I…I uh…I sang actually and I got applauds so it was kind of cool
PETERSON: What’d
you do?
FREY: I sang a karaoke song front
of Shawn…
PETERSON: Yeah.
What'd you sing?
Page 10 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
FREY: Uh…I don’t know who it’s by, but it’s uh…that song that starts out
“Kiss me by the…” oh, and I don’t remember the Date of Marlene,
but I know that’s not the words but…you know
that song?
PETERSON: No. How late did the party go?
FREY: (singing) out on the Date with Marlene or sing, sing. Oh, I can’t
remember the words now cause they were right in front of me of
course but…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: That was a good one, but I
can’t remember who picked it. Syd, this
guy Syd picked the song.
PETERSON: All right.
FREY: So I was all jazzed so…
PETERSON: You're awesome.
FREY: And then everything after that was really bad
PETERSON: It was bad? Why, what happened?
FREY: Just off key, just…
PETERSON: Oh!
FREY: Just couldn't get the tone or
anything, but that was for whatever reason and I did pretty good.
PETERSON: How late did it last, the party?
FREY: Oh, my gosh! I think till 3:30 in the morning.
PETERSON: Yeah, baby. Hee-hee.
FREY: Hum-hum. Yeah, it was uh…I had a good buzz by that
time cause oh, it was uh…it was fun. I had a good time.

PETERSON: Did you see all the news on Paris?
Page 11 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
FREY: No, I didn’t actually.
PETERSON: There was a bomb that exploded.
FREY: What?
PETERSON: There’s a bomb that exploded and riots and the whole deal.
FREY: You're kidding me?
PETERSON: No.
FREY: You didn't get caught in it?
PETERSON: I didn't...I didn't see any of it,
no. I guess I was on the other side of
town but…
FREY: Oh, my gosh!
PETERSON: I read about it this morning.
FREY: No, I…I…oh, we had the
karaoke thing on the TV so that was going all night long.
PETERSON:
FREY: Oh, my gosh! Yeah. You’ll
have to see the videotapes when you
get back
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: Oh, well, maybe not. I don’t know if I can see it myself
Oh, um…I know I um…I didn’t hear about that.
PETERSON: What's that?
FREY: I said no, I didn’t hear about that.
PETERSON: Oh, okay, yeah. I don’t know what it was really caused by, but the
pictures were pretty crazy looking. Good thing
I wasn’t down there.
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Man! Okay, sweetie, you should go
to bed, huh?
Page 12 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
FREY: Probably so, yeah. I've got a long day tomorrow. I’ve got a full
schedule so…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: So that should be fun
PETERSON:
FREY: But uh…I still, you know, oh
actually um…Grammel called me and
told…finally told me why we didn’t go to Paris
or uh…to uh…
PETERSON: Hawaii?
FREY: to Hawaii.
PETERSON: Why not?
FREY: Um...he said he gave $5,000 dollars to this guy’s um…aunt that
was supposed to have a um…place that’s uh…Fashion Fare Travel
or something. Did I already tell you about
this?
PETERSON: No, not all of it.
FREY: Um...well, it turned out that
she…I mean it used to be that, I
remember seeing that but um…that she no longer had that. But I
was like you’re kidding…you know. I said of all people to give that
money to. He said if I wanted to go again that he would get me the
money and we would set it up and it would be no big deal because
he was um…
PETERSON: Cool.
FREY: …he was the portion of his company and he was like…like either
3.2 or 32, I don’t remember what he said, um…million dollars for it
so…
PETERSON: Good.
FREY: So he said he certainly, you
know, it shouldn’t be a problem and I
was like cool. So I’ll have to let you know um…so that will be
something to look forward too maybe, I don’t know. I’m not gonna
hold my breath on it though.
PETERSON: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Not a
good track record.
Page 13 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
FREY: No, not…well, yeah. I said why didn’t you call me an he said well,
what was I gonna say, you know. And I said well, I guess but you
could have at least let me know so I wasn’t hanging.
PETERSON: Yeah, that sucks.
FREY: Yeah, but...
PETERSON: Well, that just gives me the
opportunity to go with you to Hawaii for
the first time.
FREY: Yeah, that’s uh…certainly
something to look forward to.
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: I’m here.
PETERSON: Oh, good.
FREY: Yeah, you said you've been
there before, right?
PETERSON: Sweetie?
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Okay. Say it again.
FREY: You said you had been to
um…Hawaii before.
PETERSON: Yeah. So I’ll get to go with you
and that will be your first time.
FREY: What was that?
PETERSON: I’ll get to go with you and that
will be your first time.
FREY: Yeah. Yeah, I’m…I’m totally looking forward to that. I’ve always
wanted to go.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: That would just be incredible to wake up to uh…have a blue ocean
with warm water.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: The only ocean water I’ve
been in has been cold
Page 14 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
PETERSON: Huh,
huh, huh
FREY: I tend not to…
PETERSON: Well, we’ll change that.
FREY: Yeah, one of these days.
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Okay, are you there?
FREY: Yeah. So, what, you’re
gonna go jogging and then you’re uh…
PETERSON: I think so, I’m
gonna give it a go.
FREY: Huh?
PETERSON: I’m gonna
give it a try.
FREY: And then um…well, then I guess I’ll talk to you again
um…tomorrow huh? Well, it’s so confusing. Kind of like if you wait
a minute and walk out…um…well, yeah, it’s confusing to me the 9
hours.
PETERSON: I can’t hear you. What’d you say?
FREY: I said it gets confusing to
me, the 9 hours, I think because…
PETERSON: Oh, yeah.
FREY: …part of it on my…my days,
you’re on the next day or…?
PETERSON: Yeah. Well, it’s the top of the
morning on Thursday here, so 9
hours ahead.
FREY: Yeah, that’s just so confusing to me And I hope by the
time…by the time, you know, by the end of this month I’ll finally get
the hang of it, the time…
PETERSON: And then I’ll be back.
FREY: And then you’ll be back and
I’ll just…and well of course then…
Page 15 of 15
010103 ─ 2205 02-142591
PETERSON: Then we
won't have to worry about it again.
FREY: Right. So maybe next time
you go to Paris I’’ be with you as well.
PETERSON: Okay, sweetheart, go to go to bed
huh?
FREY: Yeah, I think yeah, I'm just
jabbering now.
PETERSON: What's that?
FREY: I said I’m probably just
jabbering so…
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Okay. Good night, sweetie.
