It had elements of how I, myself, toy with the intrusive, dinner-time phone solicitors when I have the time and the inclination...and feel devilish.

The Boiler Room was a fairly decent movie.
Over the years I had worked at several small companies as the bookkeeper / office manger and often would also answer the main telephone line or have all sales calls sent to me and used to get calls all the time from "boiler room" stock brokers. Some of them could be extremely abusive, berate me with the foulest language imaginable, and threaten that I'd be fired as they were BBF's of the owner or belonged to his country club when I wouldn't transfer their calls to the owner of the company. Those and the "toner slammers". I never fell for it. And in fact at one company, an architectural firm, the partners dubbed me The Terminator because I was so good at screening out telemarketing calls. : )
