A beautiful scene from LOST A little background...Desmond, the man making the call, was exposed to a strong jolt of electromagnetism that jarred his conscoiusness loose in time, meaning he's oscillating back and forth between 1996 and 2004. A physics professor tells him that he'll die of a brain aneurysm unless he can find a Constant, something present both in 1996 and 2004, and make contact with it. Desmond chooses Penny, the love of his life. He finds her in 1996, asks for her phone number, and promises not to call her for 8 years (they're recently broken up at this point, and that's a whole new can of worms, but it has to do with Penny's father telling Desmond he's not worth a glass of scotch, let alone his daughter). She gives her number, and in 2004, on a boat in the middle of God-knows-where (another can of worms), he calls her, knowing that if she doesn't answer, he will die.
