‘Who is the man on the red phone?’ ‘Do you really want to know?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘I don’t think you’re ready to know,’ he says. ‘I’m ready to know.’ A long pause in the universe. ‘You just wrote it in the air, didn’t you?’ I say. ‘Yes,’ he says. ‘Please tell me, Gus. Who’s the man on the red phone?’ A long pause in the universe. ‘It’s me, Eli.’
