NO ONE'S POV:

(The quintet is still on the elevator & they're all...)

Steve: [screaming]

(Y/N): [screaming]

Erica: [screaming]

Robin: [screaming]

Dustin: [screaming] Shit! Shit!

(He starts pushing buttons.)

Steve: We're going down! We're going down!

Robin: Yeah, no shit, Harrington!

(Y/N): I was going to say "Sherlock" but that works too!

Dustin: Why don't these buttons work?!

Steve: [screams]

(Erica runs over to Dustin.)

Erica: Press the button!

Dustin: What do you think I'm doing?!

(Y/N): I can't believe we're going to die in an elevator!

Robin: Stating the obvious, O'Connell!

Steve: Come on, press something! Just press the button!

Dustin: [screams]

Erica: Push it!

*CRASHING*

All: [grunting]

(The elevator stops. A box falls on Steve.)

Steve: Oh!

Robin: [winces]

(Y/N): Ugh...

Steve: My groin. It fell on my groin. Dustin! [strains] (Y/N)!

Robin: [sighs]

Steve: One of you, get this off of me!

(Y/N takes the box off him with ease.)

(Y/N): [strained sigh]

Steve: I can't move.

Robin: Is everyone okay?

Steve: Yeah, I'm great, now that I know that Russians can't design elevators!

(Y/N): I am hunky-dory.

(Steve moves Dustin aside to the buttons.)

Robin: I think we've clearly established that those buttons don't work.

Steve: They're buttons. They have to do something!

Robin: Yeah, if we had a keycard.

Steve: A what?

Robin: It's an electronic lock. Same as the loading dock door. If we don't have a keycard, it won't operate, meaning--

Dustin: We're stuck in here.

Robin: Yeah.

Erica: Just so you nerds are aware, I'm supposed to be spending the night at Tina's, and Tina always covers for me. But if I'm not home for Uncle Jack's party tomorrow and my mom finds out you four are responsible, she's gonna hunt you down, one by one, and slit your throat.

(Y/N): Not if I hunt her first.

Erica & Robin: What?

Steve: I don't care about Tina! Or Uncle Jack's party! Your mom's not gonna be able to find us if we're dead in a Russian elevator!

Dustin: Hey. What if we climbed out?

(They look up at a latch on the ceiling. Dustin & Steve climb onto the top of the elevator.)
