Randy D: "Listen up. If a woman named Jaimie calls, tell her I can't come to the phone right now. Or that I'm not available. Or that I'm in a meeting. No, wait, that won't work, none of it will work, she will just keep calling back. Tell her I've been called away due to an urgent matter that requires my specific expert input. No, she'll see right through that one. Tell there's been a horrific accident and I'm too disfigured to use telephones. No, she'll send an email message. Try telling her I've left for the day. No, no, no, no. Tell her you've never heard of me. That's no good either. Maybe you can say I've been arrested for white-collar crimes and taken to police headquarters. That's a lousy idea, she'll show up there and make a scene in an attempt to 'rescue' me. You can say I only wanted her for her money, and she's better off forgetting about me completely. Hold on, she's only human; women don't just forget about Randy Candy. Tell her that I really like men and I only pretended with her because I was trying to reverse my tendencies. No, no, she knows that's not true after that weekend at the motel. Tell her I don't speak French, and that neither one of us can really understand the other's accent. Weak? You're right. What if you say the doctors found out I have a terrible life-threatening disease, that I'm dying and I have mere days to settle my affairs? She's heard that one before has she? Ok, I've got it! Convince her that I have a twin brother who posed as me only as a way to get ahold of her money! Not that either? Ok, try this one . . . "
