a few clues for us?

[Savage Beast]

"Yeah."

"What did you say your name was?"

"Who?"

"What?"

"He ain't in."

or on the other hand

"Yes, of course. He is in but can't come to the phone. I can have him call you right back." (Then he does.)

"He's not in, but I'll get in touch with him, and he'll call you right back."

"Yes. One moment."
