bilby commented on the word soundtrack
"DIALOGUE is basically a phone number and a phone central that stores one or more soundtracks. When dialing the service number, the user is welcomed by a voice and subsequently told to repeat a set of words and sentences one by one. This will make people in close proximity believe that he/she is having a real conversation."
- Sebastian Campion, 'Dialogue'.
