I think it would create an extra layer of realism, making the speakers 3 dimensional people with actual lives, who carry on doing stuff after they have finished with this particular kidnapping or terrorist attack.might be a little hard to maintain the tense vibe of a shocking revelation if they end the call with "well, then, great to chat again, you must come round the next time you're in town, cheers".
In fact isn't that part of what made Tarantino's dialogue so well regarded? He realised that putting back in the minutiae and mundane details of minor characters that other directors had removed in the name of tension, could in fact have the opposite - or at least a different - effect to what they had assumed.
Though, I'll admit, when done badly it is one of the most laughable directing cock-ups.
