Can't Read

This call started it all, in fact it wasn't even a call for me. It was a call for my Dad before I moved out of my house. I knew my Dad wouldn't want to talk to this girl, so I just pretended to be him. I've used this one several more times since then, and have been improving it. Since I'm writing this long after the fact, it won't be completely accurate:


M == Me
T == Telemarketer

M: Hello
T: Hello, this is the New York Times, (BLAH BLAH BLAH) would you like
   the NYT delivered directly to you home for only $19.99 a month?
(Pause)
T: Hello?
M: I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
T: This is the New York Times, (BLAH BLAH BLAH) would you like
   the NYT delivered directly to you home for only $19.99 a month?
M: I'm not sure
T: Well the NYT is one of the most read newspapers in the world.
M: But that's the problem.
T: That it's popular?
M: No... the reading part, I can't read.
T: Oh... Well is there anybody there that would be interested?
M: I'm going to classes at night to learn.
T: Good for you.
M: Maybe I could get someone to read it to me.
T: Then are you interested?
M: You said this was delivered?
T: Yes, right to your door.
M: Maybe the paper boy could read it to me.
T: Well actually, it's mailed ... (pause) ... Well thank you for your
   time, if you have any questions feel free
M: Wait a minute, I might want it.
T: ... to call 1-800-??????
