I'm a 1.2 Luddite (AEL is supposedly much improved since the dark ages), 
but I think you need a "semi" after the "if's" closing brace.

I'd suggest staying away from AEL until you have a much better 
understanding of Asterisk and dialplans. Until your dialplans reach a 
level of complexity where you need AEL's control structures for clarity, 
you should stay with "conf."

You should have started here:

and search for "girlfriend."
