What to say in a Cold Call

Hey everyone! I am new to WSO.

I am currently looking for a summer internship (have been for quite some time now), and I wanted to start cold calling a few local firms. Just wanted to know a good guideline or "script" to follow when someone answers. How do I get the person I need on the phone without the secretary telling me to get lost?

Thanks
