THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!

They tried it when stuck in a lift in that film You've Got Mail.
It didn't work there either but it's the only trick I know for this situation.
I think the next step was calling the fire department, have we got one of those?

[horsie]

Isn't that what the little bell button's supposed to do when I press it?? It's not doing anything!! Nobody is coming for us!!!

[asterroid]

How long have you been there?
All of us know now, at least. We won't let you die.

[horsie]

I don't know... like thirty minutes to an hour? It's hard to keep track of the time when you don't wear an ugly wrist watch.

Please, Astrid... I need you to go get Sprout. He still hasn't come...

[asterroid]

Got it. Astrid absolutely will.
