I had the pleasure of this one myself on a fine summer day at Flying Cloud airport while doing pattern #2,343...
"Helicopter Niner Hotel Bravo extend downwind for landing traffic"
"Extend downwind, 9HB" - I took the controls. With no traffic behind us in the pattern, I slowed us to an OGE hover abeam the tower, where we stayed until the landing traffic was on short final, at which point we got back under way.
"9HB, I wish everyone could do that, base turn at your discretion, cleared for the option one-zero right"
"If everyone could do that, you'd be out of a job, 1-0 right, cleared for the option, 9HB"
