Hello. Police Headquarters, please. Hello, this is Mrs...

[He grabs the phone and stops her call]

Hello. What do you want, please?

I don't want a thing.

What?

You called me.

I called you? Say, who is this?

This is Sergeant Riley at headquarters.

Sergeant Riley? Well, there isn't any Sergeant Riley here.

I know that! Now look brother...

Wait a minute. You'd better talk to my mother.

I don't want to talk to your mother. Why should I want to talk to your mother...

Hello. Who is this?

This is the police.

The police! Well, this is no police station.

I know that!

Well if you know it, then why don't ya...Look, this is not a police station.

This is silly...

What was that you said?...My father should hear this.

I don't want to talk to your father...

Hello. Who is this?

This is the police talking.

Yeah, but she just told you that...

She just rang the police!

Oh, you're the police. Oh, well that's different. What can I do for you?

You can...

I can do what? Where? Oh, no. I wouldn't like that, neither would my daughter. [Hangs up the phone] I hope the sergeant never traces that call.

You like to play games, don't you?

Mmm hmm.

Why did you stop me phoning?

'Cause I'm working for your father or because I think I'm beginning to like another one of the Sternwoods.

I prefer the second reason.
