Worst Voicemail in History of Telephone

Mamas, don't let your boys grow up to be Dimitri.
Share your favorite lines in the comments.
I like "there's nothing wrong with me" however, "maybe you were abused as a child..." is nice too.

This should be re-recorded by John Malkovich.

i'm really hoping Dimitri finds out that this has spread this far and posts some sort of response to the internet.

Looks like he has. Very creepy:

Dimitri, whose real name is James Sears, is a disgraced doctor who was charged, then later acquitted, of sex assaults on several female patients in the early 1990s.
But more recently, he's alleged to have left pressuring messages on a workplace answering machine of Olga, a woman he met on the street.
A witness in one of the sexual assault cases told the Sun yesterday the phone messages are "deeply deluded."
"It worries me that people are encouraged by (this) behaviour and that no one's intervening," she said.
Sears wouldn't return phone calls and e-mails yesterday.
A man claiming to be Dimitri responded on YouTube that the content was taken from his private voicemail and that he'd press criminal charges and sue "everyone who insulted me."

"I'm writing a movie script right now . . ."
Well, that explains everything.

"If your psychologically normal..."

Do I have to choose ONE???
"...Call me, and then we'll get together for coffee and chat and let the romance begin ..."
"You call me as soon as you have the courage to. ... Believe it or not, I'm a complete catch. ... There's nothing wrong with me. As a matter of fact, I'm one of the few men in the city that has nothing wrong with him. So I'm giving you that 3 o'clock deadline. If I don't hear from you, you lose my number."
"You should actually look that up, passive-aggressive personality disorder. And you let me know. If you've got issues, if you're on any sort of medication for anxiety or depression, I'm not interested. But if you're psychologically normal and you haven't called me because there's been some horrible thing happen in your life that's prevented you, that's fine. But otherwise, don't call me. OK? Bye."

I think that last one that Lazz provided is my favorite.

it's interesting to note how he just _turns_ in the second call. i'm not sure where it happens exactly, but he seems to be coming to a stopping point, but then it just goes haywire and he flips.
oh, and if you haven't happened on these yet...

What's creepiest is that there are "men" paying this guy to learn how to pick up women.
As a species, we suck.
