More quotes from When A Stranger Calls

Question: There's a deleted scene that's on the DVD where Officer Burroughs goes to the break room after his first phone call with Jill and he overhears two other officers talking about the murders at the beginning of the film. Even though it's unlikely he could have known then, why didn't he suspect right away that Jill's situation sounded similar to those murders, and that Jill was in serious danger?

Answer: Because it's unlikely that he knew then.
