On Call
What films are these phone conversation excerpts taken from? |
 |
| 1. |
"Late at night, when the demons come, do you see the rifle coming out of that window, or do you see Kennedy's head being blown apart? If you'd reacted to that first shot, could you have gotten there in time to stop the 'big bullet'? And if you had, that could've been your head being blown apart. Do you wish you'd succeeded, Frank? Or is life too precious?"
"What's done is done." |

"Hello Lee, it's Clarence. At last, we speak. Now, first of all, Lee, I wanna tell you I'm a real big fan of yours. That's why I want to open Dr. Zhivago in L.A.. And I need you and your abilities to distribute it."
"Uh, Clarence, um, I don't know, Clarence, Dr. Zhivago's a pretty big movie, you know."
"The biggest. The biggest movie you've ever dealt with, Lee. I mean, we're talking a lot of film here. A man would be an idiot not to be a little cautious about a movie like that. And Lee, you are not an idiot."
"No no no no no! I'm not saying I'm not interested, Clarence. It's just that being a distributor is not what I'm all about. I'm a movie producer, you know? I am on this earth to make good movies, nothing more and nothing, well, maybe less sometimes." |

"Hey Janelle, what's wrong with Wolfie? I can hear him barking. Is he okay?"
"Wolfie's fine, honey. Wolfie's just fine. Where are you?" |
| 4. |
"Hello."
"Yeah, yeah, hello."
"Yeah, hello."
"Yeah."
"Who is this?"
"It's me."
"Me who?"
"Who...me, me, me."
"Me? Who? Me who?"
"Me, me, you know, me, me."
"Yeah, how's it going?" |
| 5. |
"It's very simple. I've got the kids. You start screwing around, the kids start dying. Is the plane ready?"
"The jet is being fueled, and ready to go at the airport. The money will be there by the time you get there."
"Alright. Now listen, listen very carefully. I'm gonna be driving along nice and easy, just me and a busload of kids. I'm going to turn off on the Sir Francis Drake Boulevard on my way to the Santa Rosa airport. I don't wanna see any police cars, helicopters, whatever." |
| 6. |
"David? Are you watching the news?"
"Jennifer, yeah, I'm watching."
"David, is that us on TV? Did we do that?"
"It could be. Oh Jesus, Jennifer, what am I gonna do? They're gonna come get me! I'm really screwed! I'm screwed!"
"Whu...no, shhh, calm down, shhh, calm down, calm down. Listen, if they were so smart, they would've found you already, right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Okay, so all you have to do is, is throw away the number and don't call it again, that's all."
"Yeah, uh, maybe they didn't trace the call, huh?" |
| 7. |
"Grady? Christ, Grady, do you know what time it is?"
"Yeah, I got, uh, 8:15. I don't think that's right, though."
"It's 3:30, Grady."
"Well, this is important, Walter."
"Oh?"
"I...um...I..."
"What is it, Grady?"
"I'm in love with your wife."
"Excuse me?"
"Sara, I'm in love with her."
"Are you drinking, Professor Tripp, right now?"
"No."
"Nevertheless, I'd like to see you in my office Monday morning." |
| 8. |
"Hello?"
"I'm sorry, I guess I dialed the wrong number."
"So why'd you dial it again?"
"To apologize."
"You're forgiven. Bye now."
"Wait, wait, don't hang up."
"What?"
"I wanna talk to you."
"They've got 900 numbers for that. See ya!" |
| 9. |
"Is this Maryann with the pot? Hello?"
"No, this is not Maryann with the pot. This is Elaine. His mother." |
| 10. |
"Chem Weapons, Isherwood."
"Marvin, look up Wolfburg Federal Penitentiary. The inmate is Mason, John."
"Hey Stan, listen. I'm getting out of this government shithole. I'm going over to Orkin to design roach motels. Cool, huh?"
"Look, I just stole a kid's motorcycle. I'm not really feeling too good about it, okay? Wolfburg, got it?!" |
| 11. |
"He gets away with it?"
"Absolutely. It's a Hollywood ending, Griff. He marries the dead writer's girl, and they live happily ever after."
"Can you guarantee that ending?"
"If the price is right, you got it."
"If you can guarantee me that ending, you got a deal."
"I guarantee it, Griff."
"What do you call this thing, anyway?" |
| 12. |
"You got the money last month."
"Yeah, so we're all set then."
"Yeah, but the vehicles that you're borrowing on, I just can't read the serial numbers on your application. Maybe if you could just read them to me..."
"Yeah, but the deal's already done. I already got the money."
"Yes, we have an audit here. I just have to know that these vehicles you're financing with this money, that they really exist."
"Yeah, well, they exist, alright." |
