One guy (let's say: Mike) kept calling someone important. His friend is telling the story and says: He was calling that important guy, but he would only get through to the operator. And I don't think he managed to strike up a relationship with the operator. If you know Mike, that's got to be some tough cookie.
---- Is he trying to say that the operator had to be a "tough" woman because he didn't manage to strike up a relationship with her?
