Things I Want #813: a phone like they have in American Detective Shows

[miss_s_b]

These phones are standard in Castle, Bones, NCIS and Rizzoli and Isles, amongst other shows. If someone calls you on one of these phones, and you use the correct code phrase, they act as a teleporter, and I want one. What usually happens is something like this:

• Brennan and Booth are talking about whatever case they are investigating.
• Brennan's phone rings. It's Hodgins, who has found something interesting.
• Brennan asks him what it is.
• INSTANTLY Brennan and Booth are in the lab, and Hodgins is telling them whatever a normal person would have just said over the phone.

I wonder if you get to set the code phrase yourself? I mean, it usually seem to be something along the lines of:

tell me what you've got *ZAP-TELEPORT*

... but if you can set it to be what you want it to be then I think I'd set mine to be "FLYYYYYY MY BRAVE HAWKMEN!!!"

In other news: I am finding this episode of Bones I am watching a bit depressing. They're being very trying-to-hard inclusive of The Gays but there have been two instances so far of bi-erasure :(

Haha, that never occurred to me but now that you mention it, it's so obvious. I wonder if this on tvtropes.org and if not, you should submit it. :o)
