[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 440916, member: 8"] I had no idea this was a classic trope in movies and TV, except for the obligatory occupied phone booth (usually by a woman, suggesting the call is going to last much longer than needed). It also happened in DALLAS but the unknown caller was a man and there was something weird about the scene even though it didn't mean anything. I love that. But, yes, that seemingly perfect crime usually meets some challenges, and in a strange way it evokes a feeling of sympathy or admiration for the criminal. Perhaps I associate the consumerist-girl-determined-to-buy-an-ice cream with the little girl who was shot to death while buying an ice cream in John Carpenter's ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. I mean, talk about interruptions. [/QUOTE]
