...Did you always check your messages every day only at 9?
I would ask what you would do if I needed something important, but I think you both know I would just come knocking anyway. Please pick up the phone, Hank. We might be friends, but I don't want to have to come find out if you're holed up in your lab talking to ants.

[Hank you know better than to try that trick with Matt.]
You sound like you're in a good mood. What's going on?
[This probably means he doesn't want to get busted holed up in the lab talking to ants, doesn't it.]

[He sounds so happy, it makes Matt smile a little bit.]
When it all pans out. What's the idea? I don't want to take you away from anything important.

Oh, just settling in. I'm creating a complete bio-dome for an ant colony inside my room! The best part is it double as a laboratory for me. All my equipment can be shrunken down and kept adjacent to the secondary colony. Of course, I would have to modularize it so it can be sized up and moved around easily. But I had a mini portable lab before, nothing to it.

[Hank you're a great friend but PRESSING ONE.]
So you've got your facilities up and running? Because I may need to ask a favor from you.

Semi-functional?
[He's not entirely sure how complicated the thing he needs Hank to do for him is.]

[Matt hesitates, letting the silence spiral for a good 30 seconds. No collateral damage. No collateral damage. And yet he doesn't have the resources to appropriately address this problem.]
...I have a stalker, Hank. Someone who knew me from when I was here in the previous incarnation of...whatever we've found ourselves in. He wants my help, and he's-
[There's a sigh on the end of the other line, while Matt rubs at his eyes, tiredly.]
He has some kind of condition, I'm not sure what it is yet. D.I.D., maybe, schizophrenia. The result of an accident, he told me, during some case where in retaliation for prosecution, they burned him with acid. I've felt some of the scars; it's bad, Hank. But you know, I can't see it, so he thinks from me, he can get fair treatment, justice. I'm not sure even he knows what he wants. He says he's got it under control, and he thinks he's telling the truth, but that didn't stop him from breaking into my house.
At the very least, I need to know when he does that again. If he does it again. I got him to agree to conditions, not to follow me or interfere in my relationships, but there's no telling when he'll have a break and if he'll forget all about it when he does. If it'll even be the same person who asked for my help. And I can't ask Spider-Man to keep tabs on me 24/7.
