Hello, this is the 911 emergency operator.
Help! Help! Please, help me!
Sir, please calm down and explain exactly what is happening.
Calm down? My car broke down on the freeway! I have a woman passenger and she's about to have a baby!
Relax, sir, and explain exactly where you are.
I'm in the southward lane of the Lincoln freeway, about 15 miles from the Washington tunnel.
Okay. Now, what's the nearest landmark to your location?
Um, I see a Starbucks...
Is there anyone else with you?
No, no one will stop to help us! I need an ambulance. I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack myself!
