That guy from 5th floor and Matt both check the fancy-shmancy-renaissance-art-deco-modern-art counter above the elevator doors, and find out that they're stuck at floor 459 of the magnificent Northbridge Tower, with a mere 41 floors separating them from the top. Which means that using the shaft to escape would be a very bad idea.
Vegetal puts on his robe and wizard hat, and reads the sheet with PERL on it aloud:
print "Hello, world!\n";
print qq=Did you say "Hello?"n=;
print 'Greetings, small planet!'\n';
print q/What's cooking?\n/;
$fred = "Fred here";
$barney = 56;
$sum = 10 + $barney;
print 'The variable $fred' . " contains $fred.\n";
print "Sum is $sum.\n";
@fred = ("How", "are", "you", "today?");
print "\@fred contains (@fred).\n";
$mike = $fred[1];
print "$mike $fred[3]\n";
$fredsize = @fred;
print '@fred has ', "$fredsize elements.\n";
print "Max sub is $#fred\n";
and so on, and so on.
Anyway, now the choices are:
(1) Try to hear something outside the elevator door.
(2) Despite the warning that doing so would be a bad idea, open the hatch in the ceiling and go out in the shaft.
(3) Search your pockets.
(4) Try to get the elevator moving again by fiddling with the console.
(5) Try to turn off the music.
