Mr. Smith admits to Alice that he is all talk, and doesn't have much sex. He continues that he calls about 1,000 women a year, but takes two weeks off to go on a fishing vacation. Mr. Smith relates to Alice how obscene callers have received bad press from all the amateurs flooding the phone lines. He says that no other man could please a woman like he can. He relates how he once called a phone number and a Young Girl answered the phone and the time he called an Old Lady. Alice asks him to call Eyemask and he does. Eyemask asks to see Mr. Smith and Mr. Smith gives Alice a bath. He tells her his background and how he was asked to be an astronaut. During the final test, he was rejected after blurting out something obscene. When he came home, he couldn't focus and made his first obscene phone. Mr. Smith continues that after he was caught making an obscene phone call, his wife and family left him. Mr. Smith leaves and calls Alice and they have phone sex into the night and morning.
