PlayStation 2 Info

Hubba-hubba! I'm Phoning Honey, the sexiest telephone prankster you ever did see!
Who am I? What am I? How much do I get paid? Nobody knows any of that - not even me. But I do know that my mission in life is to use the telephone to ring some games shops and yank their pranks.
Get a load of this stuff: this week I called a mail order specialist to get their views on the PlayStation 2. Let me say now - the names have been changed to protect my innocence.
GAME-ORDER MAIL ORDER GAMES
GO: Hello, Game-Order.
US: Hello, love. I was wondering if you had any in-fo-ma-tion on this PlayStation 2.
GO: Right. Well, it's not out until October, I think.
US: Right, right. Do you think it'll be worth buying?
GO: It's meant to be very good. It's the new version of the PlayStation.
US: So, what's so good about the PlayStation 2, love? Can't you tell me?
GO: It's got DVD, and the graphics are meant to be very good.
US: It's got what, love? I'm not sure I heard that right.
GO: It's got DVD. It can play films. The PlayStation 2.
US: What sort of films?
GO: All the DVD films.
US: So if I bought a PlayStation 2, would I be able to watch American Pie on it?
GO: What's that?
US: It's a real funny film. Would I be able to watch that?
GO: I suppose so. Is it out on DVD?
US: Is what out, love?
GO: The film mentioned.
US: I don't really know.
US: Now listen, I understand that new consoles are of the bits. Can you tell me how many bits the PlayStation 2 has?
GO: Bits? I don't know. Let me just go and ask... We're not sure. We think it's got 128 bits, or... or two 64 bits times two.
US: That's as clear as mud, thank you!
GO: Well I'm not really the best person to speak to about that sort of thing.
US: I'm hearing you, love. Anyway, am I able to order a PlayStation 2 from someone like you?
GO: I imagine so, but we've not started taking orders yet.
US: Why is that?
GO: We just haven't.
US: Can you find out why?
GO: I'll ask... Apparently we just haven't started doing it yet.
US: Now I understand.
US: Look, love, you've been really helpful, but I have one last question to fire at you.
GO: Fire away.
US: Who am I?
GO: What... do you mean?
US: WHO AM I?
GO: Is this a friend of Tony's?
US: ...Er. Yes.
