   in a movie, a guy is on the phone,  and the person (on the other end)   
   (often a woman)  hangs up   
      
                        I've always felt that this happens 100+ times more   
                                       often in movies than in real life...   
      
   THEN the guy goes ...   
      
                       --------- Hello?  Hello?  Susan?   Are you there?   
                          ----------------- Did you just hang up on me?   
      
     I've always felt that this happens 1000+ times more   
                   often in movies than in real life....   
      
      
   in Older movies, the guy does that  [momentary Hang-up] thing.   
                            ---------- In older times,  this didn't hang up?
