Should this goof be deleted?

The goof, as it is written:
When Stranz picks up the phone and its Jimmy he says "It's MacElroy" but right after he says that Fairchild turns to Katie and then Stranz says "for her," pointing to Katie.

What I see when watching the movie:
The full line of dialogue from the movie is "Uh, hi, it's Jimmy MacElroy. Is Katie there?" Stranz looks at Fairchild, then at Katie, and says "It's MacElroy," still looking at Katie. Fairchild spins to face Katie, and then Stranz says "For her."

So, is this a goof or not? The user who added the goof assumes that since Fairchild spins before Stranz says "For her," that the actress jumped the gun on the motion.

However, could it be argued that the character followed Stranz's eye motions, and she could tell that the call was for Katie?

If you agree with my interpretation, should the goof be deleted, or changed to "Incorrectly regarded as a goof"?

i agree its not a goof. They had the plan to set him up and expected him to call for her. If anything when he does say "for her" its just him being dumb and stating the obvious as he does many times in the film. When you give someone you want to date your number hoping theyll call, you dont need to hear "they called, oh and its for you" no sh!t ;p

Its definitely not a goof - just watched the film again and its not like Stranz and Fairchild didn't plan everything they did together, so I can't imagine stranz picking up the phone off his own back - Fairchild knew so jumped the gun xx

Great post XD
