When confronted in his office by the Pod People....


Why did Myles attempt to secretly lift the telephone receiver off the hook behind his back? I know that Pod/Jack caught him doing it and warned that he should know better, but what was Myles hoping to accomplish? Somehow thinking someone could listen in?

Its human instinct to call for help when threatened. It also helped distract them so he could pull out the hypo needles and escape.
