Sounds like something out of a bad movie. Possibly the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading".

“We have all the information we needed,” they told him. “You don’t need to call your lawyer. Don’t worry, you’re boring. “

This line made me laugh. Honestly though, I'd rather be called boring than interesting.

But HOLY SHIT this is creepy as hell. :(
