Woman:
[voice]
Are you ready for your call to your lawyer?
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Yes, thank you.
[as the call is being placed, Lecktor jimmies open the telephone]
Woman:
[voice]
Faltro, Christians and Gollub Law Offices. Can I help you?
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Oh, excuse me. I must have mis dialed.
[Lecktor waits until there is a dial tone, then uses an aluminum strip on a stick of chewing gum to activate the dial beacon on the inside of the phone triggering a ringing send response]
Male Operator:
[voice]
Thank you for using AT&T, this is Operator 24.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[as he re-assembles back the phone]
Operator, I don't have the use of my arms. Would you be so kind as to dial a number for me, please?
Male Operator:
[voice]
Certainly. What's the number?
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
301-555-6624.
[the phone now rings outbound]
Secretary:

University of Chicago Department of Psychology.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Dr. Sydney Bloom, please.
Secretary:
[voice]
He's not in right now, but I'll connect you to his office.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
What's his secretary's name again?
Secretary:
[voice]
Martha King. Just a moment, please.
[the phone rings again]
Secretary:
[voice]
Hello? Martha King's desk.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Hi? Martha?
Secretary:
[voice]
No, Martha doesn't come in nights. I'm only a temp.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Maybe you can help me. This is Bob Greer of Blaine and Edwards Publishing Company. Dr. Bloom asked me to send a copy of 'The Psychiatrist and the Law' to someone, but Martha never sent me the address and phone number.
Secretary:
[voice]
She'll be in in the morning. You can call her back then.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Well... uh, I have to catch a Federal Express plane in about five minutes. I'd be immensely appreciative if you could pull it out of the rolodex for me.
Secretary:
[voice]
I don't see a rolodex.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
I'll bet she has a call caddie right next to her phone.
Secretary:
[voice]
Yeah, I see it.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Well zip that little pointer right on down to the letter 'G'.
Secretary:
[voice]
All right.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
The name I'm looking for, the last name is Graham. The man the book is supposed to be sent to. Mr. Will Graham.
Secretary:
[voice]
It says he works for the Federal Bureau of Investigation 10th and Pennsylvania in Washington DC.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone]
Now, I'll bet it has his home address there too.
Secretary:
[voice]
3680 De Soto Highway, Captiva, Florida.
Dr. Hannibal Lecktor:
[into the phone; makes an evil smirk]
Thank you so very much.
