A disk is stuck in my slot-loading Dell Studio Hybrid. How can I get it out?

The slot-loading optical drive in my Dell Studio Hybrid has been acting up. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it churns and makes some unpleasant sounds. Now I can’t even get it to eject the disc that’s in there.

Many drives have an “emergency eject” pinhole, but I don’t see one here. How can I get the disc out?
