esc = Escape key (might not be the same on US keyboard... does Apple use a symbol instead?)

Go to any apple dealer. They will either put it back on, or replace your keyboard. I'm guessing you pulled it off, if it just fell off, then check whether your warranty is still valid....

"15 minutes of screaming?" What's that about? You screaming at them, them screaming at you, or them screaming at each other?

Screaming doesn't help, You just have to hold your tounge the right way!
