an anonymous caller?
has he threatened you?
has he been using obscene language?
there's really nothing we can do about it down here. is the phone listed in your name?
it's probably just some weirdo. the city's full of them. believe it or not, we get reports like this every night. it's nothing to worry about.
have you tried whistling?
if you can find a good loud whistle somewhere in the house, blow it into the phone hard, next time he calls. probably break his eardrum. he won't bother you after that.
or you could just take your phone off the hook.
well, as i say, there's nothing we can really do to help you down here.
you bet. goodnight.
seventh precinct, sergeant sacker.
oh, yeah.
did you try whistling?
out where?
did you see him?
is the house locked up?
and the windows?
then you're safe. if he wanted to break in, he wouldn't be calling you.
tell you what. if this guy calls you again --
okay, calm down now. i can alert the phone company so that if he calls again we can try to trace the call. what's your number there?
and the address?
oh, yeah, i know where that is. all right. if the guy calls again, try to keep him on the line for at least a minute so we can trace the call.
it's the only way we can help you. by the way, what's your name?
jill, the important thing is to relax. you're safe where you are. we've got patrolmen cruising the area all night long. just stay calm. will you do that for me?
in the meantime, we'll be watching your line. okay, jill?
call again if there's any problem.
goodnight.
jill, this is sergeant sacker! listen to me! we've traced the call. it's coming from within the house. a squad car's on its way over there now.  just get out of that house!
