Russell calls Danny to help him -- using a phone. Danny is talking to Russell as he finds him on the sidewalk. Russell never says the phone was taken in the mugging. After the visit to the doctor, Danny takes the phone and implies it was supposed to have been missing. But he made that up.
When Danny is escorting a movie star, Russell Burke, in his precinct, he sees his wife, sister, and niece waiting at his desk to meet Burke. Danny groans, then asks Burke if he'd mind meeting some people. Burke nicely replies, "Of course." This means that he does mind meeting people, but he greets Danny's female relatives warmly.
He should've said, "Of course not," being an actor who loves meeting his fans.
