ERLING:	Paul, here's a letter from a listener in Calgary, Phyl Good 
	by name, and she writes:  "So, um, Paul.  Heard from Avril Benoit 
	lately ?"

PAUL:	Do I sense a certain skepticism there, Erling ?

ERLING:	Paul, I think you do.  I know I would.

PAUL:	Phyl, things with Avril and I are ... well, let's just give 
her a call ...

PAUL:	No, I'm calling from St. John's.

AVRIL:	Awwwww ...

PAUL:	Avril, we're on the air, here.

AVRIL:	(disappointment)  Ohh-oh.

ERLING:	Hi, Avril, it's Erling here.

AVRIL:	Erling ?

PAUL:	Biggs, he's nobody you'd know.  But we got a letter from a 
	listener, we're doing that Listeners Letters thing I was telling 
	you about ...

AVRIL:	Oh, yeah, that's a great idea.

PAUL:	Yeah, and somebody wanted to know if I'd heard from you 
	lately.

AVRIL:	You have, and you will.

PAUL:	Thanks for this, Avril.  Let's talk ?

AVRIL:	I'll call tonight, Trigger.

	down by internal mail ?

PAUL:	No, I'll pick 'em up.  Bye.

PAUL:	Next, Erling ?

ERLING:	Trigger ?

PAUL:	It's just a ... kind of a nick name kind of thing.

ERLING:	Rather chummy, isn't it ?

PAUL:	We've become ... good friends, that's all.  Got another letter there ?
