The phone rings and a creepy Voice protrudes from the phone, "what kind of movies do you have?" says the man. The Girl, visibly frightened, whispers back "all kinds sir, is there one in particular you're looking for?" The Girl tries to get off the phone as fast as possible but the Voice keeps talking, asking questions. "Do you have XXX rated movies? Do you have movies about woman with natural hair? How dirty are your movies? Do you have toys?" The Voice, once solid at the beginning of the conversation is now a shaky breath, at this point The Girl on the other end of the line is confused and scared and tells the man to call back when he has a particular title in mind.
A few seconds pass, she's able to gather her feelings and try to forget about the call,.. The Voice. Just as she turns her back to the phone to start working again, the phone rings. "Hello?" It's The Voice again, firm and determined this time. "It's me, remember me? We just spoke.. are the movies you have dirty? What are their ratings? Do you have magazines there as well?" The Girl is rolling her eyes, she can't believe he actually called back. Wondering if this is some sort of prank call The Girl tells The Voice that there's another videostore with a broader selection of adult films, she politely gives him the number and hangs up the phone.
Another 20 seconds pass and the phone rings again. It's The Voice. He asks the same questions over and over, she gives in and just keeps answering question after question. The repetition goes on for approximately 3 minutes. The Girl wants to get off the phone, she never wants to hear The Voice again, she wants to scream through the phone and tell him to never call back. His voice is shallow now, cracking in the middle of sentences, he whispers "OK, I'm almost finished."
The Girl hangs up the phone, she stands there puzzled. "Did that really just happen?" she asks herself.. "Am I overreacting? Was The Voice just coming from an old and confused man?" She's shaking, she's upset, she goes back to work.
The man doesn't call back, but she'll never forget The Voice.
