Matt: Yes, we're working on a story about Rosh Hashana and the start of the High Holy days, and I was wondering if I could attend some of your weekend services. I could? Great! Thank you!
Matt: Yes, I would be taking notes. Why? I can't? Why not? Oh, because it falls on the Shabbat, I see... that's OK, I can bring a tape recorder.
Matt: What? Nothing battery-powered either? Well... maybe I could... um. Hmm. OK, well... maybe we can work something out once I get there. Thank you again. Bye.

Matt: Man, the Jews are being difficult this year.
Editor: I really didn't hear you just say that.
