     That racket you're hearing is coming from a nearby telephone booth. It's good old Harry Helpless. He's trying to make a telephone call to his office in London. Obviously, he's having a problem.
     Let's listen as he asks two innocent bystanders for help.
     Hey, Harry! Try a calling card next time!!!!

Harry Helpless: Do you know? Do you know? Do you know how this works?
         Do you know? Do you know?Do you know how this works?

Man: I don't know. I don't know. I'm sorry, I don't know.
         I don't know. I don't know.I'm sorry, I don't know.

Chorus: Do you know how this works? Do you know how this works?

(He asks a young woman)

Harry Helpless: Do you know? Do you know? Do you know how this works?
         Do you know? Do you know? Do you know how this works?

Young woman: First you do this, (inserts money)
         and then you do that! (dials number)

Harry Helpless: First I do this, and than I do that?

Chorus: Do you know how this works? Do you know how this works?

Harry Helpless: Can you please, can you please, show it to me one more time?
         Can you please, can you please, show it to me one more time?

Young woman: First you do this, (inserts money)
         and then you do that! (dials number)

Harry Helpless: First I do this, , (inserts money)
         and than I do that? ! (dials number)

Young woman: Goodness gracious!!!

Harry Helpless: Thank you for your help.

Young women: No problem. My pleasure!
