“Is this a birthday? I’m looking for a little girl, turning six years old. Where’s the birthday girl. I’m looking for a little girl named Joan Olan…”
“Oh, Joe Nolan! How old are you turning, little boy? SIXTY!? Well, I’m in town doing all the April birthdays, and wait a minute… There’s another Nolan… Elisabeth Nolan had a birthday ON the sixth, okay. And this guy here… When is your birthday, little boy? May? Well, I won’t be here then. It’s kind of a significant one, isn’t it? Eighteen. Yeah, I think you’re on the list for a pie too.”
Anybody else? Yup, this guy, Mark is an April birthday too.
