Narrative:

Shortly after takeoff, we experienced a loss of hydraulic quantity on the #2 hydraulic system. Shut off #2 engine pumps as per procedure, ran appropriate checklists, and returned to land at pit. Approach and landing were without incident but workload was increased by repeated interruptions from ATC. Finally had to resort to the 'don't call us, we'll call you' method until we were ready for landing. Maintenance found hydraulic supply hose fitting loose.
