- L.B. Jefferies: I can't. The police have it by now.
- [Jeff dials the number for Thorwald's phone. Thorwald is seen from a distance walking over to the phone and standing by it]
- L.B. Jefferies: [quietly to himself] Come on, Thorwald, answer it. Come on, you're curious. You wonder if it's your girlfriend calling. The one you killed for. Go on, pick it up!
- [Thorwald is seen picking up the phone]
- Lars Thorwald: [voice] Hello?
- L.B. Jefferies: Did you get my note? Well, did you get it Thorwald?
- Lars Thorwald: [voice] Who are you?
- L.B. Jefferies: I'll give you a chance to find out. Meet me in the bar at the Albert Hotel. Do it right away.
- Lars Thorwald: [voice] Why should I?
- L.B. Jefferies: A little business meeting... to settle the estate of your late wife.
- Lars Thorwald: [voice] I... I don't know what you mean.
- L.B. Jefferies: Come on, quit stalling or I'll hang up and call the police. Would you like that?
- Lars Thorwald: [voice] I only have 100 dollars or so.
- L.B. Jefferies: That's a start. I'm at the Albert now. I'll be looking for you.
- [Jeff hangs up]
