What Happens

Tony wakes up tied to a bed. A woman says she thought she had accidentally killed him. He doesn’t know who she is until she speaks. We get a flashback to her being an annoying telemarketer and him not being interested. He got rude and hung up on her. 

Now, tied to the bed, Norma makes Tony learn that he just wasn’t raised right. But maybe she can fix that…

Commentary

Well, that got serious quickly. Does it make me want to talk to telemarketers? 

No, I’ll take my chances. 

It’s short, but it’s clear what’s going on, it looks good, the acting is fine, and it’s a more-or-less believable situation. Nice!
