THE HOOK
INT. ELEVATOR - DAY
The elevator JERKS to a dead stop. Lights flicker out. Red emergency lights hum to life.
DAN (20s, tux) and NINA (20s, wedding dress) stare at each other.
DAN
Please tell me you’re not the bride from 4th floor.
NINA
Please tell me you’re not the groom from 6th.
DAN
We have seven minutes before the wedding music starts.
