I watched that phone scene without ONCE reflecting that Keaton-the-actor was doing a monologue into a prop phone.
Same here. I could hear in my mind the mother's initial happiness to hear from her boy, followed by confusion about "second mortgage" and terror that her son needed thirty grand and that knockout punch about his inheritance. And all that came from a simple closeup shot on a guy holding a phone and performing a monologue? Michael Keaton is fantastic.

Especially because we only hear his side of things and not his mother's that makes it all the more realistic in my opinion.
