Party Fight Over a Phone Call, Explained: by all rights
A fight about a party and a phone call keeps circling back to who has the right to live there. "By all rights, I should be living here" turns the argument into a claim on the place, while the other side keeps rejecting the explanation. The real quarrel is about being trusted, not about dancing.

What's really going on
The fight keeps sliding away from the party itself. One side wants an explanation of who was dancing with whom; the other insists on being trusted. "I don't buy that" does more than reject a story: it says the relationship has already lost its default setting of belief. The line "By all rights, I should be living here" shifts the quarrel from romance to territory, making the place something owed rather than shared. The repeated orders to get out, and the threat to call the cops, show that no one is arguing to understand anyone; they are arguing to win the room. The phone is the perfect prop: whoever holds it gets to decide whose version reaches the other end.
Theme
TrustThe quarrel turns on whether an explanation can be believed; "I don't buy that" makes trust the real subject.
Class"I don't come from Park Avenue" makes money and background part of the insult.

Preguntas sobre esta escena
Why does the argument turn into a fight about who should be living there?
Because the quarrel stops being only about a party. One line claims, "By all rights, I should be living here" and turns the place into something owed rather than shared.
What does "jailbird" mean in the final exchange?
It is a mocking label for someone who has been in prison. The speaker rejects it outright: "I am not some lying jailbird!" The insult is about character, not a neutral description.
Is anyone in the scene actually listening to the other side?
The lines suggest not. Explanations are met with "I don't buy that," while orders like "Get out!" and a threat to call the cops take over.
Why is the phone so important in the scene?
The phone is the object everyone fights over: someone does not want to pick it up, others grab for it, and a threat is made to the caller.
