-->'''Lloyd''': He always imagined himself as a freak. This guy has this telepathic ability. And it's raw and I use it for good as much as possible, but I keep a lid on it and it's local. To then find someone else who has exactly the same thing to feel that you're part of a breed. There is some horror or something dark connected to it. But he goes out looking for a friend or a brother. He actually, only then, is honest about quite how alone he's been his whole life. Even now married and with a child. And as soon as he finds a connection on that level, which I think he resigned himself to never having, he has to explore it.

Her weeping worsens after he hangs up because she didn't catch his message at the end that he's coming home soon, so she assumes that she'll remain alone in their "haunted house" (or at least lost within her own haunted mind) for a while longer. Her crying signifies that she's psychologically unstable and losing her grip on reality.

* ICantHearYou: Because it's the 1950s, the long-distance phone call from Morocco has a weak connection, so Gabrielle and Charles have a lot of trouble understanding what the other is saying through all the loud static and distortion. She's unable to hear her husband's warning about Farouk (the latter is ''literally'' haunting her house as a FogOfDoom, so she's unaware that her infant son David is in danger), and she also misses Charles' reassurance that he's on on his way home. Because Gabrielle's psyche is falling apart at the seams, it's essential for her to know that Charles (who's her LivingEmotionalCrutch) will return soon, so without that info, her despair grows ever closer to the breaking point.
