Transcript:
You escaped from your kidnapper after 10 years? Sure you did. Look -- you want the police or the ambulance or what? Ok, you want the police. Where you at, right now? Who kidnapped you? Where is he now? Why don't you know? What's he wearing? Now, you just stay where you are till the police arrive -- no, I can't stay on the line with you -- what am I -- a babysitter? click No CONSIDERATION for others! THE DISPATCHER
You’re right it is not as bad as Oliphant makes it…but it wasn’t good either. The first time that I heard the tape I couldn’t understand why the operator came across as being so abrupt. When I listened to it the second time I said, this is not right. Granted Oliphant is using hyperbole a little to far but I do think that the operator should get some remedial training.
