VOICEMAIL SCRIPT: UPDATED

As a group, it was decided that the voicemail script should be adapted to sound more natural. Here is the final script, the changes are in red:

DOCTORS RECEPTIONIST:

Hello Mr. Simmons, I'm calling from Oakhouse Surgery to remind you to collect your prescription. Doctor Bateman is concerned that if you don't taken your medication, the consequences could be very serious. Please contact us back if you are unable to collect them. Thank you.

DAUGHTER:

Hey Dad! It's me. Mum said you were picking me up tomorrow from swimming. It finishes at 5, I was thinking we could do something after? Please don't forget this time. See you.

BOSS:

Russell, Craig here. Look, you haven't turned up to work or even answered my calls. I’m sorry but I'm having to let you go. I know you’ve been struggling and I’ve done all I can to support you but you've really forced my hand here. Call me back as soon as you get this and we’ll talk about the redundancy… and what needs to be done next.

DAUGHTER:

Where are you? Its me - Sophie!? I’ve been waiting by the school gates for like an hour and it’s raining! Have you forgotten again? You always do this! Mum’s on her way now, just forget it.

EX WIFE:

Russell, it's me. I've had to cancel my meeting to pick Sophie up from swimming. You've let her down yet again, she isn't coming round this weekend, by the way... You owe her an apology. Oh, and another thing, Dave said he saw you at our house again last week, you can't start doing this, it's my house. I don't want to get the police involved but I will if I have to. *PAUSE* I'll pick her up from now on.

GIRLFRIEND:

Where the hell are you? Why aren't you returning my calls? Have I done something wrong? I didn't mean what I said about moving in together, I think we should take it slowly, it's too soon...just please call me back, I miss you. This is like the sixteenth time calling in a week and you haven't picked up once. Was it me? Look, it was a joke! It’s obviously too soon… but please, call me back, I’m worried.

NEIGHBOUR:

Hey Russell, I haven't seen you around in a while.. you okay buddy? I heard you got fired and all.. I'm sorry about that. Oh and, your mail box is full.. Hope we can speak face to face soon, just give me a call back, okay? Thanks.
