This happened not twenty minutes ago.
Mack is moving.

Mack: I'd like to order a diconnect, please.

Gas Company: OK, to schedule a diconnect, I see we need a couple of pieces of information to complete your account.

M: OK

GC: Could I have your date of birth....

M: I'm sorry, I don't give out that information.

GC: OK, Could I have the name and address of you nearest living relative...

M: I'm sorry, I don't give out that information.

GC: I'm sorry, sir, but without that information we can't process your application.

M: I'm not applying, I'm leaving.

GC: I understand that, sir, but unless we have that information, we may not be able to continue service in the future...

M:? You may not be able to continue service? In the future?

GC: I'm sorry, sir, but that's correct.

M: OK, if that's the way you want it, let's go ahead and terminate my service.

GC: All right, sir, we could schedule that for tomorrow morning.

M: The new people are going to want it connected on Oct. 1st. If you wait 'til then, you can kill two birds with one bush.

GC: OK sir, we'll do it on the first. Please remind the new people to call before noon on Monday.

M: Will do. And thank you for all your help.

GC: No problem!
