Eden Gardens security staff
Good afternoon. How can I help you, sir?
Sourav Ganguly
How can you help me? What do you think people want when they press this button? A pizza delivered?
Eden Gardens security staff
No, sir. I imagine you're stuck in the lift.
Sourav Ganguly
Yes, I'm Sourav Ganguly and I'm stuck in the lift.
Eden Gardens security staff
Would you like a pizza?
Sourav Ganguly
No, thank you.
Eden Gardens security staff
Ok, that's good because we've only got kachoris here. So how can I help you, sir?
Sourav Ganguly
Look, I just spoke to Virat and he said you'd get me out if I rang the bell.
Eden Gardens security staff
No, Mr Ganguly. Kapil Dev is ringing the bell. He's very excited about it. If I tell him you are ringing the bell now, he'll be terribly disappointed.
Sourav Ganguly
This is like trying to explain Pythagoras to Sreesanth. Look, can you just try and get me out of here? It’s really hot.
Eden Gardens security staff
Why don't you just take your shirt off, sir?
Sourav Ganguly
It's not in my nature. Now, when are you going to get me out of here?
Eden Gardens security staff
I've called our team of engineers. They say they’ll be on their way immediately after finishing off an important job.
Sourav Ganguly
What's more important than Sourav Ganguly, the Prince of Kolkata, being trapped in a lift in his home ground of Eden Gardens, I ask you?!
Eden Gardens security staff
They're polishing the new bell, sir. It's taking longer than they thought. Mr Jadeja stole all the dusters to buff up his sunglasses. I'm sure you understand.
Sourav Ganguly
Well, not really. So I just have to wait here until they come and rescue me. What am I meant to do?
Eden Gardens security staff
Ah well, there I can help you, Mr Ganguly. If you look under the seat you'll find all our lifts are fitted with some emergency literature to pass the time in such instances. Can you see it?
Sourav Ganguly
Yes, hang on…oh…I see... The Art of Coaching by Greg Chappell.
Eden Gardens security staff
Don't panic, sir. We should be there in a couple of hours.
