Looking for Yoko Ono, text samples

(phone ring.)
Woman: Hello.
Gregory: Hello. I am looking for Yoko Ono.
Woman: You have the wrong number.
Gregory: Do I really?
Woman: This is the phone number at the exhibition, but she is not here.
Gregory: She’s not there? So did you…you picked up the phone?
Woman: It says when the phone rings, picked up it the receiver and talk to Yoko Ono. I was hoping you would be.
Gregory: (laughs) Oh! So what would you have said if it was Yoko Ono?
Woman: I would know. (laughs) I would have been quite happy.
Gregory: You would have been quite happy?
Woman: So what inspired you to call?
Gregory: Yoko did. She inspired me. (laughs)
Woman: (laughs) So does this mean I have to call someone now?
Gregory: You can try. That would be a good idea.
Woman: You sound like you are part of the exhibition. (laughs)
Gregory: Oh, I am sort of butting in.
Woman: Yeah, and we were staring at the phone hoping it would ring.
Gregory: Yeah, I was doing the same thing.
Woman: I had to push quite a few people out of the way to grab the phone.
Gregory: Oh, you did?
Woman: Anyway.
