What would you say when you are very busy with something and can't just put it
aside even though your wife is calling you?

|
Priscilla: |
Rich,
can you come downstairs for a minute right now? |
|
|
Richard: |
I'm sorry I can't. I'm
tied up with something urgent at the moment. |
|
|
Priscilla: |
Oh, are you
on the stupid net again? When are you going to get off? |
|
|
Richard: |
Just a minute, Dear! I'm
looking at a new jewelry site. I wanna make sure I get the right gift for your
birthday, don't I? |
|
|
Priscilla: |
Oh? In
that case, I'm sorry to bother you. Take as much time as you need. |
|
| |
Richard: |
No problem. |
