ROUTINE

ROUTINE:
 
Coach Fitzhugh? Hi, this is Coach O'Toole at Boston College. We have spoken before, but I understand this year you have a very good strong safety on your team. How many tackles did he make last year? That's impressive. And how many interceptions? Outstanding. Listen, I wonder if I could come over to school there one day soon and meet with you and him? Great. See you then.


INCONCEIVABLE:

Mr. Fitzhugh? Hi, this is Professor O'Toole from the history department at Boston College. We have spoken before, but I understand you have an outstanding student in history this year. He wrote a 15,000-word paper on the Soviet-Afghan War? That
sounds impressive. It was published in The Concord Review? And it received an Emerson Prize? Outstanding. Listen, I wonder if I could come over to school there one day soon and meet with you and him? Great, see you then.
