Plot
Act I
Katie Weiderman is on the phone with her sister Lois planning a vacation. Katie wants to run it by her husband Bill, the successful writer of a suspense novel titled Spider’s Kiss. Katie tells her sister that Bill tends to get sick while in between writing projects, but he‘ll usually shrug it off once he gets an idea. Her youngest kids Jeff and Connie come in and ask to tape a film version of Spider’s Kiss on TV; Katie instructs them to ask their father to tape it on the VCR but to edit out the violent parts. After they leave, Katie talks to Lois about her oldest daughter Polly, who’s away at school; she clearly misses her and wonders how she‘ll handle it when the kids are all grown up. She happily reminds herself that she will still have Bill.
”Please....take...”
As they continue to talk, the other phone line rings. Katie puts Lois on hold and picks up the second line — a traumatized voice tells her ”Please.....take....” over broken static. Katie assumes it‘s Polly and asks her what’s wrong, only to hear the voice say “Quick....please...” Katie insists that whatever is wrong can’t be that bad, then the other person hangs up. After trying to reconnect with the mysterious caller, she tells Lois on the other line that she will call her back.
