–Who are you on the phone with?
–My psychiatrist.

Stu Shepard: I’ve been something I’m not for so long, and I’m scared you won’t like what’s underneath. But here I am, just flesh, blood, and weakness…
Stu Shepard: My two-thousand dollar watch is fake, and so am I.
Stu Shepard: So you’d just whack me for no particular reason?
The Caller: Oh, I’ve got plenty of reasons. And you keep giving me more.
Stu Shepard: The first step to being noticed is being mentioned.
Stu Shepard: You can see me right now?
The Caller: Uh-huh.
Stu Shepard: What am I doing?
[Stu scratches himself]
The Caller: You’re scratching your ear. Now you’re brushing your hair back.
[Stu gives the finger to the windows in the buildings around him]
The Caller: That isn’t very nice, Stu.
Stu Shepard: Did you call me Stu? Who’s Stu? I don’t know any Stu.
The Caller: Why, do you prefer Stuart?
Stu Shepard: [to ‘Corky’] Get outta here before I call Hillary and have you deported to New Jersey!
Stu-I can’t this is an important call
Stu: You shoot a gun here there’ll be pandemonium, cops will be swarming all over the block
The Caller: You think so? Let’s see…

The Caller: Oh Stu, look at everybody… Look at all the people yelling, Stu, here come the cops, sniper on the roof. Gunfire. Hit the deck.
sure i had a thing for her, she probably would have slept with me but i love my wife too much. its like having a really nice house but knowing you have the money to go on an great vacation but never going. its just nice to know you could get it you know?
so Pam is a house and Kelly is a hotel room… wouldnt she love to know that..
The Caller: Come on, Stu! Don’t you get the game yet?
The Caller: Do you see the tourists with their video cameras, hoping the cops will shoot you so they can sell the tape to Goriest Police Shoot-outs?
The Caller: He’s beginning to get on my nerves.
The Caller: If only you had dealt with the man decently, this might not have been necessary.
Stu Shepard: But… I offered him money. I offered him my watch…
The Caller: But not your respect which is what he really wanted.
The Caller: If you have to ask, you’re not ready to know yet.
The Caller: Isn’t it funny – you hear a phone ringing and it could be anybody. A ringing phone has to be answered… doesn’t it?
The Caller: Say you wanted to fuck her!
Stu Shepard: I wanted to sleep with her.
The Caller: Say you wanted to fuck her.
Stu Shepard: I wanted to fuck her.
The Caller: This is exciting. You get to choose between them. Kelly. Pam. BAM BAM!
The Caller: Wait till it goes national. ABC, CBS, CNN, UPC, you’re gona have the whole alphabet.
The Caller: Well, there is someone I’d like you to call.
Stu Shepard: Name it.
The Caller: Try the number you dialed when you first got into the booth.
[Stu laughs nervously]
Stu Shepard: I don’t know what you’re talking about pal.
The Caller: No? Lucky you then, because I wrote it down. I can see every number you pressed. Let’s see if Pam is still at work.
Stu Shepard: No!
The Caller: Then I guess I’ll have to do it.
Stu Shepard: Look don’t!
The Caller: Too late. It’s already ringing. I’ll put her on speaker so you can hear.
Stu Shepard: Yer fucking kiddin’!
The Caller: Stu, I never kid.
The Caller: You’re in this position because you are not telling the truth.
Stu Shepard: I’m in this position because YOU HAVE A GUN!!
The Caller: You’re in this position because you are not telling the truth.
Stu Shepard: I’m in this position because YOU HAVE A GUN!
The things we fears the most, are things that have already happened to us
Wait till it goes national. ABC, CBS, CNN, UPC, you’re gonna have the whole alphabet.
Well Hello PAM
what else is there to do when life turns on you and youve retreated into a small room…
Whatever you do, don’t look up.
whoever heard of delivering a pizza to fucking phone booth?
WHY YOU ASK WHY
Wrong number, pal.
You get to choose between them. Kelly. Pam.
You’d think she didn’t know she was being watched, but beautiful women always know. That false indifference, superior hair. It’s just a tease. They want eyes on them. Why does she put on her makeup, do her hair, dress so nicely?She wants to be noticed.
You’re lawyer is coming down.
[Stu is not answering The Caller]
The Caller: Stu… my sainted mother used to do this… She used to… Ahh! Please, don’t do this… You’re bringing back my unhappy childhood… Talk to me, please! Talk to me! I can’t take it… Ahh!
[The Caller laughs]
The Caller: I’m just kidding with you Stu. I actually had a very nice childhood.
[The Caller cocks his gun]
The Caller: Now doesn’t that just torque your jaws? I love that. You know like in the movies just as the good guy is about to kill the bad guy, he cocks his gun. Now why didn’t he have it cocked? Because that sound is scary. It’s cool, isn’t it?
[The Caller phones Stu’s girlfriend Pam]
Pamela McFadden: Hi, who’s this?
The Caller: It’s a good friend of Stu’s. And he hasn’t got many.
Pamela McFadden: You know Stu?
The Caller: I know he lies.
