I just called to say...no, I'm not drunk

Chris, inspired by Tim Burton's film, "Big Fish" called his step-father to talk story:

"Hey dad, it's me. I'm just calling to say thanks for cooking dinner last night. Sorry we didn't come. I should have called....huh? What? Oh no. No. I'm just calling to say hi that's all. What? Huh? No, I don't feel guilty...No, I just thought I'd call....you know...What? No! No, we're haven't been drinking anything. What? No, I'm not suicidal. I'm not dying....What? What shirt am I wearing?* Ha ha."


*Chris said his step-dad speaks in metaphors and had asked him, "What shirt are you wearing today?" meaning, I guess, "Why are you acting so weird?"
