Emergency

Scene opens with Mitzy in a car. It is a hot summer day, and Mitzy is distressed and hypervenelating. She dials 911.

911 DISPATCHER: 911 this line is being recorded. What is your emergency?

MITZY: THIS IS A GRAVE EMERGENCY! (heavy sobbing)

911 DISPATCHER: Ma'm please calm down and describe the situation. What is the location of the emergency?

MITZY: Well, I'm in my car, in the parking lot of Giant Eagle!

911 DISPATCHER: and what is the address of the supermarket?

MITZY: I'm not quite sure. I would go check, but I'm STUCK!

911 DISPATCHER: Stuck?! Can you be a little more specific, help us help you.

MITZY: I'm stuck inside my car! It's getting really hot in here too. I think I might faint!

911 DISPATCHER: hmmm, and what obstacle is keeping the car door from opening?

MITZY: well, my car seems to have died! It has no power at all! I keep pressing the unlock button on my key, but nothing happens!

911 DISPATCHER: I see. Look at your door, do you see a small knob anywhere on your door.

MITZY: I'm looking, I don't see anything.

911 DISPATCHER: look to the left of your door Ma'm, by the corner of the window.

MITZY: OH! I see something! It looks like a miniature pole in a tiny hole.

911 DISPATCHER: (sighs) Yes. Now pull it upward and try opening the door again.

Mitzy obeys the dispatcher's order.

MITZY: OH MY GOD! It works! You saved my life! I can finally breathe now. How can I ever repay you?!

Dial tone.
