Changed line(s) 30,31 (click to see context) from:

* In ''Film/DoubleTake'', Darrel Chase is arrested in Mexico for the murder of the local governor, after stealing the identity of Freddie Tiffany (who was framed by the BigBad). When brought before the local police chief, who offers him a cigar and a drink (arresting such a high profile criminal will mean promotions for the entire precinct). Darrel then tells the chief that he wants a phone call. His reply is a burst of laughter from the Mexican cops, who remind him that he's not in America and doesn't get a phone call. They even ask him (in a sarcastic manner) if he would like JohnnieCochran for a lawyer, implying that he doesn't get a lawyer either. Of course, it's entirely possible that the Mexican cops aren't familiar with American laws and get their information from the same place the public does - TV.
* Averted in ''Film/{{Candyman}}''. After Helen is arrested by the police and informed of her miranda rights, she asks for a phone call, but it's never stated that it's the only one she'll get.
