(a pause) Excuse me! I asked you a question! Don't you walk away from me, you come back here and tell me-

(The woman's voice trails off and she sucks in a sharp breath as she finally turns to take in the sight of the city. For a moment, there's nothing but background noise and then, she speaks again in a clear, firm, yet not quite as upset tone as before.)All right, then. Howard, I don't know where you are, but I
