One lucky caller is the millionth emergency at 911. Hilarity ensues! (Written by Sean, Mariana, Jerry.)[OPERATOR sits at flashing switchboard with headset. Very serious. There is a brief phone-ringing sound and OPERATOR pushes a button to connect her with CALLER1.]
CALLER 1: [Hesitant.] ...Hello....
OPERATOR: 911; what is your emergency?
CALLER 1: Uh.... yeeaaahh.....
OPERATOR: Hello? Are you there?
CALLER 1: Ohh... Well.... uh.... is this, uh... 911?

CALLER 1: Riight.... There's... [suddenly fake-enthusiastic] a murderer! And he's in my house! Uh.
OPERATOR: What is your address please, sir?
CALLER 1: [Sighs.] Aww. Oh man!
[CALLER 1 hangs up. OPERATOR sighs and rolls her eyes. Another ringing sound and OPERATOR is connected with CALLER 2.]

CALLER 2: That's it?

[OPERATOR presses button. We hear BERNIE AND THE GOOSE/K.O.N.K theme-music, replete with honking sounds and slide-whistles. BERNIE and THE GOOSE are sitting at a DJ desk. BERNIE wears rock'n'roll t-shirt and DJ sunglasses. THE GOOSE is flamboyant and crazy-looking. He speaks with half-mad intensity.]
BERNIE: Helloooo Montreal, and welcome to Bernie and the Goose! I'm Bernie and-
THE GOOSE: -I'm the Goose!!! Today we have 911's millionth caller! What's your name, ma'am?

BERNIE: I don''t know, Goose, are we 911?
THE GOOSE: No, but you better call them because we're on FIRE!
[THE GOOSE presses a button and we hear police sirens (radio noise).]
VICTIM: Is that the police?

THE GOOSE: Good one, Bernie! Ma'am, how's it fel to be 911's one millionth caller!?

VICTIM: Why aren't you helping me?! I'm in the bedroom. The door has no lock.
BERNIE: Sorry, that's incorrect. I'll repeat the question one more time: In the context of the realist paradigm, what singular concept mitigates, delimits and justifies-
THE GOOSE: JUSTIFY! [Honking sounds.]
BERNIE: -justifies all assumptions?
[There is a click and we hear a new voice, who answers the question. It is the KILLER. He is calm and deadly sounding.]
KILLER: -The world is in a state of anarchy for lack of a supernational actor!
VICTIM: Who is that?
KILLER: Can you guys hold on a second?
[We hear thumping sounds as KILLER puts down the phone, goes up the stairs, opens a door and begins to murder VICTIM. She screams into the phone.]
VICTIM: Help! No... What are you doing! [Screams.] He cut off my fingers! I'll try this mace... Oh no, he's using my own mace against me! My eyes, how they burn! He cut off my arm! Why isn't anyone here yet! He's cutting off my hea-
