Hello?
Yes?
Who is this?
Um…who are you trying to reach?
What number is this?
What number are you trying to reach?
I don't know.
Well? I think you have a wrong number.
Do I?
It happens. Take it easy. [hangs up, goes to kitchen; phone rings again; Casey picks it up] 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 for a second.
They've got 900 numbers for that. See ya. [hangs up. Goes to the kitchen, turns on a burner, and prepares to cook up Jiffy Pop popcorn. The phone rings a third time] Ugh. [picks up phone] Hello?
Why don't you want to talk to me?
Who is this?
You tell me your name, I'll tell you mine.
I don't think so. [shakes the Jiffy Pop]
What's that noise?
Popcorn.
You're making popcorn?
Uh-huh.
I only eat popcorn at the movies.
Well, I'm getting ready to watch a video.
Really? What?
Oh, just some scary movie.
You like scary movies?
Uh-huh.
What's your favorite scary movie?
Casey Becker Uh, I don't know.
You have to have a favorite. What comes to mind?
Um, Halloween. [pulls out knife] You know, the one with the guy in the white mask who walks around and stalks baby-sitters. [puts back knife]
Yeah.
What's yours?
Guess.
Um, Nightmare on Elm Street. [picks up VHS tapes]
Is that the one where the guy had knives for fingers?
Yeah, Freddy Krueger.
Freddy, that's right. I liked that movie. It was scary.
So, you got a boyfriend?
Why? You wanna ask me out on a date?
Maybe. Do you have a boyfriend?
No.
You never told me your name.
Why do you want to know my name?
'Cause I want to know who I'm looking at.
I want to know who I'm talking to.
That's not what you said.
What do you think I said? [Casey checks outside] What? Hello?
Look, I gotta go.
Wait! I thought we were gonna go out.
Uh, nah, I don't think so. [locks door]
Don't hang up on me! [Casey hangs up]
