I think you can buy a small hand pump that will screw on to the top of the tranny fluid bottle. Costs like 5-7 bucks at more parts stores.

Right on. Or, you can pick up a cheap suction gun, or transfer hand pump (harbor freight tools or where ever), to transfer from ATF bottle to tranny. Easier if you buy gallon jugs of mercon/dextron III (advance auto has decent stuff) I've found it helps if you can make a 'hook' out of a pc of copper tubing or similar to stick thru the fill hole. It makes the transfer less messy.
G/luck!

Not to take away from the other posts, but in an emergency, I've often found that secretly *borrowing* my girlfriends turkey baster (if available) does the trick well too :)
Just make sure it dissapears after, so she doesn't accidently use it again.
