    .....and as Dante calls the newspaper to try and convince himself that Kaitlyn Bree is not getting married to an Aisian design major, I noticed he used a pay phone, but only put one coin in the phone to make the call. In AMerica today, it is impossible to make a phone call on a payphone using only one coin.
    My newest random thought.

    Have you noticed that in the movies, they never seem to have call display? I guess that would ruin the plot lines if someone knew who was calling..:D

    I hadnt noticed that, but then I dont find it unusual. I have never had that ability, well not toil recently when I gave in and got a cellphone. I doubt I will ever pay extra for that service however.

    It only became more than a quarter where im at about 2 years ago. In the mid-90s when clerks came out, it was only $.25. just like in the video store all they have is VHS tapes.

    My thought was only wow its been a long time since one coin would be enough. you read too much into my random thought. for that matter, I remember 10 cent calling.
