late for work

hi hon. I'm in the car. would you call the office for me, please?
sure. what's the matter?
oh, the freeway's backed up, and I'm running a little late.
ok, well don't try and speed to get there.
in this old bucket? no way. easy does it.
good. I love to hear you talk responsibly.
that's me, all right. slow and steady. by the way, I'll be home late, I gotta stop to fill up on jet fuel.
ok.
