Kobe: Hello?
Shawn: Kobe, this is Shawn Kemp.
Kobe: Who?
Shawn: Kemp. Ever hear of the Reign Man?
Kobe: Kemp... oh yeah, you played with the Sonics and Blazers, right?
Shawn: Right! Listen--
Kobe: Hey, I'm glad you called, man. I'm here in Beijing, and there's this cute German swimmer I'm trying to get to know, if you know what I mean, and you could teach me some phrases to impress her with my, you know, international flair and all.
Shawn: Uh, Kobe, I don't know any German.
Kobe: You're kidding! You're from Germany, aren't you? You played for Seattle and Portland, right?
Shawn: I think you're thinking of Detlef Schrempf...
Kobe: Oh, maybe you're right. Sorry! What did you say your name is?
Shawn: Kemp. Shawn Kemp.
Kobe: Right, right... what can I do for you, Shawn?
Shawn: Well Kobe, I just signed with a club in Italy, and I know you grew up there, so I thought you could help me get the lay of the land.
Kobe: Sure, no problem. What do you need to know?
Shawn: First, how do I get to the local Weight Watchers?
Kobe: Wow, uh, I don't know, man, I never had to deal with that outfit.
Shawn: Okay, that's cool. How about Alcoholics Anonymous?
Kobe: No, can't help you with that one either, sorry, man.
Shawn: Sex Addicts Anonymous?
Kobe: How would I know about them?
Shawn: Drug rehab clinic?
Kobe: Nope.
Shawn: Planned Parenthood?
Kobe: Huh? We're talking about Italy, man!
Shawn: Discount Diapers?
Kobe: Vanessa handles that kinda stuff. Look Shawn, I think we exist in different worlds, if you know what I mean. I don't think I can help you.
Shawn: Yeah, I guess not. Well, thanks anyway Kobe, and good luck bringing home the gold.
Kobe: Thanks man, call me anytime. Oh, hey, maybe you can tell me something.
Shawn: Sure, what's that?
Kobe: What's Detlef's number?
