     I can't think of it off the top of my head.

Hear the storyline. Marshall is complaining to Pam.  He tells Pam that he is trying to get a hold of Jason, but he forgot his home phone number.  So he called his office, but his secretary would not give him Jason's phone number-- because it is against the company's policy to release someone's personal information on the phone to a stranger.
Marshall: Do you know what Jason's home phone number is?
Pam: I can't think of it off the top of my head.  You might want to look it up in the phone book.
Marshall: I've checked it already, but it seems that his phone number is UNLISTED.
Pam: Maybe it's under his roommate's name.
Marshall: Well, I guess so.
Pam: Maybe you can call his office and ask his secretary.
Marshall: I've already tried.  She won't tell me.  She says it's private.
Pam: Oh, that's right.  They usually don't release private information over the phone.
