911, I Have A Medical Emergency But Also I’m Watching ‘Avengers: Endgame’
911: Emergency Services, go ahead.
CALLER: Hi, my friend slipped and hit his head. Hard. He’s not responding.
911: Okay, sir, don’t panic. Is your friend breathing?
CALLER: I… I can’t tell.
911: I’m hearing a lot of background noise.
CALLER: Right, I should have mentioned, I’m at an advance screening of Avengers: Endgame and—
911: OH MY GOD, NO YOU’RE NOT, NO YOU ARE FUCKING N—
Phone dropped. Chair knocked over. Shouting. Deep breaths. Chair reset. Phone recovered.
911: Are you still there?
CALLER: Yeah.
911: Okay, listen. You’re putting me in a really difficult situation. I’m gonna keep talking with you but you CANNOT tell me what happens, okay? Deal?
CALLER: How can I —
911: IS THAT A DEAL?
CALLER: I — sure. Deal.
911: Great. Now, when did your friend fall down.
CALLER: He was coming back with more popcorn, it was a while ago.
911: Can you be more specific?
