[Baby crying]

Woman: Uh, yeah, no.

I mean, you people called me.

I'm returning your, uh... shh.

Man on phone: Do you want to hold?

Yeah, yes, I am.

I do... I... that's me.

I'm sorry.

Well, are you the same person that I was just talking to?

Seriously, I don't have the reference number.

[Continues crying]

When Mommy was single and 20, she used to use quarters for this.

But now she has to put money into a machine to get a card to put into another machine.

Oh, g*dd*mn it! Come on!

Broke, and the entire basement was flooded.

Woman on phone: Crazy.

I know.

The water was totally up to our knees, and Ben's exercise sh*t that he never uses, the washer and dryer.

I'm... I'm actually at a laundromat right now.

[Baby crying]

Can you... I don't know.

Can you squeeze me in at 5:00 or something?

Yeah, I...

Woman on phone: Let me check.

Hold on.

Oh! Flippy thing.

There's a button, a red but... yeah.

Honey. Shh.

It's OK, baby. Shh. Shh.

Yeah.

It's a red, uh, button with a, um...

[Baby crying]

Oh, my God. Just press it in with a pen or something.

Oh. It's perfect. [Crying stops]

It'll start back up.

OK, I'm in the car right now.

Can you make the formula? I'm gonna be home in...

Sam? Sam? Sam? Sam? Sam?

Boy: Daddy!

[Car horn honking]

Where's my daddy?

[Woman screams]

[Brakes screech]

Daddy!

[Car alarm blaring]

Sam!

Sam!

Where are you?

See, he was buckled right into that car seat!

He was right here!

He was right in the car seat there!

Daddy!

Where are you, Sam?!

Sam! Where is he?! He was right in there! I don't understand!

Please call the police! Call 9-1-1!

Daddy!

Sam! Sam! Sam!

Sam! [Sirens approaching]

Saa-aam!

Man: 9-1-1. What's your emergency?

Woman: My son's missing. He was..

Second woman: 9-1-1. What's your emergency?

Third woman: I want to report a missing person...

[People talking all at once]

9-1-1. What's your emergency?

I don't know where he is. Can somebody please come help me?

She's gone.

[Sirens, busy tone beeping]

Woman: Iran, 1.47 million. Turkey, 1.55 million. Germany, 1.71 million. Egypt, 1.73 million, Vietnam...

Man: The thing that one fails to grasp... 2% is not a staggering number. That's only one out of every 50 humans on the planet. Statistically speaking, on the average football pitch, none of the players would be departed.

The odds of losing someone in your immediate family are slim at best. Now, if you look at, let's say, casualties from mass pandemics, smallpox, for one, decimated 95% of the native population.

[Train horn blows]

Woman: million.

China, 27.18 million.

[Dog growls]

[Dog whining]

[Chirps]

[Chirps] Come.

[Whistles] Come here.

Come on.

It's OK. I'm not gonna hurt you.

[Yelps]

[g*nsh*t echoes]

[Truck engine turns over]

Hey!

[Tires squeal]

[Engine revving]

Hey!

[Distant dog barking]

[Snoring]

[Distant clang]

[Snoring continues]

[Sighs]

[Shouting]

No!

[Microphone feedback]

Girl on P.A. system: French Club's croissants will be outside the caf after lunch.

[School bell rings] And, uh, finally, the Denziger Commission Report was released this morning.

We'll be live-streaming the hearing in the auditorium all day, and the guidance staff will be available to anyone who needs to, you know, talk it out.

Boy on P.A. system: Thanks, Glen.

Let's rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag "of the United States of America, "and to the republic for which it stands, "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

And now, for those who want to, let us pray for mercy and forgiveness and the return of those who have left us.

[WHISPERS] Pow.



Man on radio: Good morning. This is Dusty Bob, and this one goes out to Boon, who lost his lovely Alysse at the cr*cker Pickle 3 years ago today.

Alysse, we don't know where you are, but we sure do hope there's pickles up there.

A little Patsy Cline for y'all.

Let's go teardrop-huntin'.



Ah.

[Grunts]

Oh. Jesus.

How many more cars am I gonna have to get in and out of?

This is it, Congressman.

Is it cool if I call you that?

Call me whatever sh*t you want.

Just drive, kid.

[Sighs]

You got something for me?

Oh.

Cool. Thanks.

Would you mind giving me your phone, please?

[Sighs]

I promise you'll get it back once you've talked to him.

Do you mind?

Are you f*cking serious?

[Chuckles]

Man: To quote Wittgenstein, "whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must remain silent."

Thank you.

Second man: Thank you, Doctor.

So we're clear...

[Engine turns over]

We convened a council of clerics, representatives of most world religions, who, as you know, were somewhat conflicted about October 14th and were thus unable to reach any kind of consensus, which, in turn, led us to the scientific community for answers.

This document, the findings of your Commission, as to the instantaneous disappearance of 2% of the world's population, some 140 million souls, your conclusion as to what happened to them, why them, and where they've gone, is... and I'm paraphrasing here...

"I don't know"?
