Candid Camera or The Twilight Zone?

“How long ’til the bus,Ted?”
“Soon.”
Rrrring.
“Hey, Ted, that payphone’s ringin’”
“Who cares?”
“Well …”

Five minutes later.

“Hey, Ted, that’s the phone again.”
“Don’t bother me.”
“But 10 rings! Maybe it’s important!”
“You wanta answer it? Answer it!”
“Yeah … I will.”

Reaching for the receiver: “Hey!  What the …? … Hey, Ted, look at this!”

Ted snatched the earpiece from Freddy. “Somebody’s talkin’ on here!”

“There ain’t no way to answer ’em, Ted!  What’ll we do?”

Ted looked around suspiciously. “I know what this is … one of them hidden camera shows.”  Squaring his shoulders: “Stand up straight, Freddy. I think we’re on TV.”
