Cold open
INT. HARTWELL DENTAL, FRONT DESK - 2:47 AM
The office is dark. The phone rings once. It does not ring twice.
RECEPTIONIST
Thanks for calling Hartwell Dental. This is Sam. What can I do for you?
CALLER
(surprised)
Oh. Hi. I didn't think anyone would pick up. My crown came off and I'm flying out Thursday.
RECEPTIONIST
That's stressful, let's get you in before your flight. Dr. Osei has a 9:10 or an 11:40 tomorrow. Which works?
CALLER
The 9:10, please.
RECEPTIONIST
Done. You'll get a text confirmation in a few seconds. Bring the crown if you still have it.
The caller hangs up, books a flight, and never learns the office was empty.
CUT TO: TITLE CARD.
One of those characters was a machine.
The receptionist. Answered before the second ring, at 2:47 AM, on the 40th call of the hour.
