Jill: (Screaming) Help me! Someone please help me! I'm trapped under this bed! Oh god, someone help me before it's too late! (Pauses to catch her breath) Excuse me, sir? Can you hear me? My name is Jill and I'm an octogenarian. I was just lying in bed when it suddenly fell on top of me! (Shakes head) It's so dark in here and I can't move my arms or legs. I'm not sure how much time I have left, but please, if you can hear me, don't let me die alone under this bed. (Tears welling up in her eyes) Please, help me!
(Short pause as the person on the other end of the conversation tries to locate Jill)
Person: (Calmly) Hello? Can you hear me? Where are you exactly?
Jill: (Frantically) I'm under this bed! It fell on top of me and now I can't move. Please, help me before it's too late!
Person: (Relieved) Okay, stay calm. We're going to get you out of there. Can you describe the bed for me?
Jill: (Confused) The bed? You mean this one? It's just a regular mattress on a metal frame. There's no headboard or footboard, and the pillows are white with black trim. (Pauses to catch her breath) Oh god, I think I'm starting to feel light-headed.
Person: (Comforting) Don't worry, we're going to get you out of there. Can you tell me what color your clothing is?
Jill: (Feeling embarrassed) Um...I'm not sure. It's probably black. I always wear black because it hides the wrinkles. (Laughs nervously) And my hair is short, but there's a lot of it and it's white now.
Person: (Reassuringly) Don't worry about that. We're going to get you out of there soon. What do you have on your feet?
Jill: (Feeling relieved) Oh, thank god! You can help me, then? My socks are cable knit mohair and they go up to mid-thigh. They keep my feet warm in the winter. (Laughs nervously again) This is all very strange, but I'm glad someone finally heard me.
Person: (Encouragingly) We're going to get you out of there, don't worry. Just stay calm and we'll have you out in no time.
