One Phone Call: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Subtrope of [[Hollywood Law]]. You've been arrested. You might be entirely innocent, you might be guilty as hell, but there are certain things you can count on. Someone will be [[Reading Your Rights]], perhaps with some modifications for the purposes of humour. You'll get cuffed, taken down to the station and questioned. And you have the right to one phone call, no more, no less; even if the call doesn't go through due to some technical glitch (or is interrupted by a [[Corrupt Hick]] or the like), you don't get a second call.
