"By the way, Doc, since we're going to be doing business together, maybe you should call me Tucker."
"Doc, now that we've come clean, why don't we call them the guards?"
In a telephone booth in the lobby, Doc called his office.
That's why Doc didn't call a cab to his house.
"Doc," he called, "how do we get out of here?"
Before Doc called him, he was working on a giant geo-thermal power station.
"Doc, you've got to stay put in case he calls."
Doc called, so he would not shoot them.
"Hurry," Doc called urgently, his soft voice deep with worry.
Doc probably would have called it a heart attack.
