==Fiction==
===Transformers (2007)===
:Actor: [[Ravi Patel]] (English)

When Captain [[William Lennox|Lennox]]'s team was being chased by [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] near a small village in [[Qatar]], the soldiers attempted to contact the [[Pentagon]] in order to call in an airstrike. Finding a phone amidst all the chaos turned out to be easy thanks to [[Mahfouz]]' father [[Akram]], but then Lennox had to deal with the telephone operator--who was completely bored by the situation, picking his nose and chiding Lennox for raising his voice at him, while at the same time inviting him to upgrade his service plan. Lennox had more important things to worry about, and after some strategic hollering (and finally finding a credit card among [[Robert Epps|Epps]]' many, many pockets) the operator finally put the call through. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}
