# You've Got Mail**Frank Navasky:** Technology! Name me one thing, one that we've gained from technology.**Kathleen Kelly:** Electricity.**Frank Navasky:** That's one. You think this machine's your friend, but it's not.**Kathleen Kelly:** What is that supposed to mean? I am so sick of that! All that means is that it wasn’t personal to you! But it was personal to me! It’s personal to a lot of people! And what’s wrong with being personal anyway?**Kathleen Kelly:** Whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal.**Frank Navasky:** She fell in love with Generalissimo Franco?!**Kathleen Kelly:** Don't say that...really, we don't know that.**Frank Navasky:** Who else could it have been?! It was probably around 1960 --**Kathleen Kelly:** Do you want some popcorn?**Frank Navasky:** I can't believe this! I mean it's not like he was something normal like a socialist or an anarchist or something...**Kathleen Kelly:** It happened in Spain. People do really stupid things in foreign countries.**Frank Navasky:** Absolutely! They buy leather jackets for much more than they’re worth, but they don't fall in love with fascist dictators.**Kathleen Kelly:** Are you crazy? This man couldn't possibly be the rooftop killer.**Christina:** Remember when you thought Frank might be the Unabomber?**Kathleen Kelly:** That was different.**Frank Navasky:** You are a lone reed standing tall, waving boldly in the corrupt sands of commerce.**Kathleen Kelly:** I am a lone reed?**Kathleen Kelly:** I am a lone reed.**Joe Fox:** I'm not gonna write him if that's what you're worried about.**Kathleen Kelly:** Alright, N-Y-1-5-2.**Joe Fox:** N-Y-1-5-2. 152. He's 152 years old. He's had 152 moles removed so now he has 152 pockmarks on his face.**Kathleen Kelly:** The number of people who think he looks like Clark Gable.**Joe Fox:** 152 people who thinks he looks like a Clark Bar.## Cast* Birdie Conrad - Jean Stapleton* Christina Plutzker - Heather BurnsThe same call, in code.
