In the city, I get two of those a day. Clare Harrison: Well maybe. But you know that town girl was raped a couple of weeks ago. Barb Coard: Darling, you can't rape a townie. Clare Harrison: Could that really be just one person? Barb Coard: No, Clare, it's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir making their annual obscene phone call. Lt. Fuller: [hands Nash a form] What's this? Sergeant Nash: Oh, that's the number of the sorority house. Lt. Fuller: Fellatio? Sergeant Nash: Yeah, it's a new exchange: FE. Lt. Fuller: [suppressing a laugh] A new exchange? Sergeant Nash: Yeah, Fellatio. One of the girls that was in this afternoon gave it to me. Lt. Fuller: [sarcastically] She gave it to you? Sergeant Nash: Yeah. Lt. Fuller: Nash, I don't think you could pick your nose without written instructions. [takes the form and walks back to his desk] Sergeant Nash: [thinks for a moment] I know. It's something dirty, ain't it? Sergeant Nash: [Jess has managed to keep the caller on the line for almost a full two minutes, allowing the phone company to trace the call] Uh, Lt. Fuller? Lt. Fuller: Yeah, Nash, what is it? Sergeant Nash: The phone company's on the other line, sir. They say they got a trace on this one. Lt. Fuller: Yeah, let's have it! Sergeant Nash: He says the calls are coming from #6 Belmont Street. Lt. Fuller: For Christ's sakes, Nash, you got it wrong. That's where the calls are going into. Sergeant Nash: That's where they're coming from too, sir. Lt. Fuller: [pause] Oh, shit... Sargeant Nash: [after Sergeant Nash calls the sorority house] Who is this? Jessica Bradford: It's Jess. Sargeant Nash: Ms. Bradford, this is Sergeant Nash. Are you the only one in the house? Jessica Bradford: No. Phyll and Barb are upstairs asleep. Why? Sargeant Nash: Alright. Now I want do you exactly what I tell you without asking any questions, okay? [Jessica begins to question] Sargeant Bradford: No, no, no... no questions. Now just put the phone back on the hook, walk to the front door and leave the house. Jessica Bradford: What's wrong? Sargeant Nash: Please, Ms. Bradford, please just do as I tell you. Jessica Bradford: Okay. I'll get Phyll and Barb. Sargeant Nash: [Raising his voice] No, no, no, don't do that Jess. [Long pause] Sargeant Nash: Jess, the caller is in the house.
