Panel 1:
A room is engulfed in flames. On the wall is a wall-mounted emergency box with a glass front. A sign above the box reads: "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS". Inside the box is a folded card/note that reads: "CALL 911!". A man with brown hair wearing a green shirt stands in front of the box, looking at it, surrounded by fire.
Votey:
The note from inside the emergency box is shown opened up. Handwritten text reads: "Tell them: 'Hey, there's a fire.' Then, replace glass."

A man in a green shirt stands in a room completely engulfed in red flames, staring at a glass-fronted emergency box mounted on the wall. A sign above the box reads 'IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS,' and the card visible inside the box simply says 'CALL 911!' The joke: the dramatic break-glass emergency apparatus contains nothing but the obvious advice to call 911. Votey: the note from the box is shown unfolded, with handwritten further instructions reading 'Tell them: "Hey, there's a fire." Then, replace glass.' — absurdly bureaucratic step-by-step directions including putting the broken glass back.
