"Hello? Who's there, I'm talkin? Hello? Who is this? Baxter… is that you? Baxter! Bark twice if your in Milwaukee… Is this Wilt Chamberlain? Have the courage to say something! Hello?

At first I thought it might be Jon Voight's LeBaron, but then I remembered that one was green and had wood siding. (Joh, John?)
