Storyline: John was trying to get a hold of Ben, but his line was always busy.....
Sydney: Did you call Ben last night?
John: Yes. I tried to get a hold of him last night, but it was so difficult to get through.
Sydney: That's strange. Maybe he was on the Net.
John: That's probably it! No wonder the line was busy all the time! Maybe he ought to get another line.
Sydney: Or he should get call-waiting.
