Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker sarcastically offers to race down the corridor whenever the other person screams hysterically over nothing important. The eager promise mocks such fussy alarms, and the speaker sounds unimpressed by panic over trivialities while pretending to be at their service.
