Repeat

He asked, "Do I need to get page 21 notarized before I come in for my interview?" She said, "No. There are three pages, not just page 21, that need a notary's signature.

Weren't you listening? How many times do I have to say something?" He said, "Well, I was just double‐checking. It's like repeating a phone number or an address or something. I was just repeating your words." She hung up. He was glad she hadn't asked his name. 4.0
