[the bar is dark and seemingly empty as it's closed for the evening. The telephone rings, and the answering machine picks up]

Sam Malone:
[voice on the answering machine] Hi. This is Cheers. Leave a message at the beep.

[the answering machine beeps]

Vera Peterson:
[voice on the telephone] Norm, this is Vera. Please pick up. Norm! Norm!

[Vera hangs up the telephone. The telephone rings again and the answering machine picks up]

Sam Malone:
[voice on the answering machine] Hi. This is Cheers. Leave a message at the beep.

[the answering machine beeps]

Vera Peterson:
[voice on the telephone] Norm, I know you're there. Pick up the phone, Norm. It's three o'clock in the morning. I want you to come home. Norm? Norm!

[Vera hangs up the telephone. The telephone rings again and the answering machine picks up]

Sam Malone:
[voice on the answering machine] Hi. This is Cheers. Leave a message at the beep.

[the answering machine beeps]

Vera Peterson:
[voice on the telephone] Hi, Sam? This is Vera Peterson again. Listen, uh, ignore those messages. It turns out, Norm was here in bed next to me the whole time. And I thought that big lump was our dog. Who knew?
