How did the stuttering guy get Joanna to do this?


He gave her some explanation about why he wanted her to say a bunch of words into a recorder. And I really didn't understand what he was saying. I know what his real purpose was, but what was it he was trying to make her believe he was doing?

He said he was doing a study of regional dialect (he also wanted her to list every town/city she had ever lived in)and was building some kind of program for a computer (haha)

In addition to what the previous poster said, he agreed to encourage his wife to join Joanna and Bobby's women's group if she would do him the favour of making the recordings.

He said he was working on a voice recognition system that would be better than finger prints.

This part of the movie came true. Nowadays you have banks and stuff that have voice recognition systems.
