Synopsis
'Tell me about this big thrill…' says a man, a tarot card reader, to a woman caller who longs for a relationship with a man but won't start talking to any of them. She sees them in stores, on the street; she imagines that they're fascinated with her; she imagines that a state trooper sneaks into her apartment, rearranges her stuff as a message to her. In addition to reading tarot the guy gives common-sense advice, such as that she should strike up conversations with men she likes, go out more often.
17:40: A guy calls the tarot reader, wondering if this other man loves him.
20:10: A woman calls him as a wrong number; he insists on reading her cards.
23:20: (Not on the tarot hotline) A guy remembers his father, how much he misses him (he's dead), how he could always rely on him, talk to him about anything. The father commandeered a street-sweeper in Georgia, drove it into a cemetery. He misses his friends too, dead and alive. He talks about a picture in his room looking at him, over-hearing pay phone conversations.[1]

A man repeatedly calls her on the phone, never says a word. While she's in the hospital, a state trooper sneaks into her house and re-arranges objects in symbolic ways which please her. Her relationship with a stranger who repeatedly drives past her house. The psychic advises her to get out more.
- The psychic talks to someone else who asks, "does he love me?"
- An insurance company representative calls with a wrong number, and he keeps her talking for several minutes.
- A man talks about missing his father. His father commandeered a street sweeper and drove into a cemetery, stripped his apartment before dying. Waking up next to it and discovering that you are its it. People avoid the lonely.
