The Caller Page #2

I'll do it

Just write down the address and I'll tell the messenger.

Okay, we'll take care of it.

Mr. Stevens, there's a taxi outside.

You want me to hold him for you?

No thank you

Have a good day

Frank, what do you think?

The subject appears to lead a very monotonous, simple

existence

What do you mean? You think his life is boring?

-Did you get the photos?

-Yes

What do you think?

You're absolutely right.

I don't see anything very interesting

Personally, I find myself drawn

to some of the little details.

He lights a cigarette and then

puts it out almost immediately.

-Maybe he's trying to quit.

-Not a chance...

Look at the way he does it.

It's not haphazard.

He repeats it down to the smallest detail. It's like a ritual.

So what?

Well it's interesting,

a nervous habit like that

with a guy who otherwise acts so smooth.

Look at the way he tears his cigarettes

apart after he takes two puffs.

That's all you've got for me,

notes about how the guy smokes?

Notice the expression on his face

when he talks to the children

I don't follow you

Doesn't it seem strange to you

the way he looks at them

when he's talking to them?

No. So what?

Well, Mr. Doe, it just seems

curious to me that a guy

who dresses with such sophistication

should be spending so much time

talking to children in the park.

What do you mean by that?

I just thought it was worth mentioning. That's all

-That's all?

-That's all, Mr. Doe. That's all

And like all ruthless contract-killers, your Mr. Stevens

is close to his aged mother.

-How do you know it's his mother?

-It's an assisted-living facility

I called it. She has the same last name.

Do you want me to keep working for you?

Yes, but I need a lot more.

Can you make contact with him?

You know, say you're someone else

and gain his confidence.

Do you think that's possible?

Well, I said I was only an eye

At these prices, I think I can ask

for you to expand your job description

a little don't you think, Frank?

Yes Sir, Mr. Doe.

I'll talk to you later

Excuse me. Hello?

This is my usual bench.

Do you mind if I sit here?

No.

That's -

-What are the chances?

-Odd, isn't it?

-Enjoying it?

-I'm fascinated by it

I think it'll be very helpful to me.

-In what way?

-Well, because I like to study birds...

Hello?

Frank, I hope you really have

something of value for me this time

He invited me to dinner.

And he called me "old friend."

-What did he talk about?

-A lot of things.

I made him think I was a birdwatcher,

so he starts talking about birdwatchers.

He says the best ones use their

ears as much as their eyes.

And you should do the same thing

when you try to practice-

the art of memory. He said he
