Another point for stairs!

[horsie]

I'm in JIMMY CHOOS, MARION, I'm not taking the STAIRS to the EIGHTH FLOOR.

[ringhollow]

Is that an elaborate sort of costume?

[louisweasley]

I will try to find him!

[celebritea]

Also we’re stuck in the elevator at the moment so we can’t access the stairs, Marion!

[celebritea]

This is where I meet my untimely end...

[asterroid]

Have you done the thing where you all jump at the same time so the elevator thinks it's empty.

[horsie]

They're designer shoes and made for looking CUTE, not for CARDIO!!!

... Are people really making out in apartment stairwells?

[horsie]

Ohh, Louis Weasley, you are an ANGEL!!!! One of your Potter cousins is in trapped in here TOO!!

[louisweasley]

Not Lily, is it? She'll panic and--

Which one?

[horsie]

This building has had it out for Americana since day 1!!!

[ringhollow]

Maybe they should've been designed to be useful.

It's not just apartments; any stairwell's fair game.

[horsie]

One of the brown haired boy ones.

[ringhollow]

My point was that you should've taken the stairs. How's the weather in the elevator these days?

[louisweasley]

Tell them I'm trying to find help!

[celebritea]

How’s the weather on your high horse, you stair-climbing misery fetishist?

[horsie]

THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!

[asterroid]

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?

[corriespondence]

Blast a hole in the ceiling and climb up the cable

[cristrelawney]

That can damage the brake system or shift the car. I've read. Probably not a good idea.

[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!!!

[hugogogadget]

ROLL CALL!

[cristrelawney]

Try not to panic. [...] I'm sure the manager will be there soon.

[hugogogadget]

Not Hugo!

[asterroid]

Where could you possibly have read that.
