Up in the Air Page #3
JUMP CUT TO:
8.
RYAN MOVING THROUGH THE SECURITY SCREENING
It’s a beautiful choreographed ballet of a bag handle
collapsing, shoes coming off, a laptop going in a separate
tray, wallet and watch sliding into a shoe, a boarding card
sliding into a back pocket... both hands always moving,
performing separate actions... It really is gorgeous.
INT. AMERICAN ADMIRALS CLUB - SAME
Ryan enters and presents his ADMIRALS CLUB CARD. It has a
hologram. The ADMIRALS CLUB HOSTESS immediately smiles.
ADMIRALS CLUB HOSTESS
Welcome back, Mr. Bingham.
Ryan walks past a stack of newspapers on the way to the
buffet, the whole time framed by an enormous window
overlooking the tarmac.
RYAN (V.O.)
All the things you probably hate
about travelling - The recycled air.
The artificial lighting. The digital
juice dispensers and mini pizzas
stacked to their heat lamps are the
warm reminders that I am home.
With that comment, Ryan slides into a leather club seat. A
DIGITAL DISPLAY reads: “Thank You For Your Loyalty”.
He opens his briefcase and pulls out his ITINERARY. He scans
it. We see a string of flights, car rentals, and stays at
Hitons. Then, something makes him frown. He pulls out his
cell phone and dials...
INTERCUT WITH:
INT. ASSISTANT’S DESK, CTC - DAY
Ryan’s assistant, Kevin, is not happy to be there.
KEVIN:
Ryan Bingham’s office.
RYAN:
You have me in a Dodge Stratus in
Kansas City.
KEVIN:
They are completely out of all full
sized sedans...
9.
RYAN:
(interrupts)
Did you?...
KEVIN:
(not the first time)
Yes, I reminded them of your
remarkable #1 Gold Club status and
years in the program. They are moving
mountains to see you in a Sebring.
RYAN:
Fair enough. Any other messages?
KEVIN:
Your sister Kara called. Needs to
speak urgently about your sister’s
wedding. I told her you were midair
and not even I knew your final
destination.
RYAN:
Well done.
KEVIN:
And you got an invitation to speak
at GoalQuest in Vegas.
Ryan pauses.
RYAN:
GoalQuest twenty?
FLASH IMAGE:
We push in on an EASEL with a SIGN that features RYAN’S
HEADSHOT. Underneath his name, it reads: “What’s In Your
Backpack?”
INT. SMALL CONFERENCE ROOM, HOTEL - NIGHT
Ryan delivers his speech with a smile.
RYAN (V.O.)
Every once in a while I do speaking
engagements. Motivational kind of
stuff. But GoalQuest... We’re
talking major Tony Robbins sh*t.
10.
Kevin examines the invitation emblazoned with a big “XX”.
KEVIN:
It’s got a hologram. They’re calling
it Dos Equis. That’s some pretty
major Tony Robbins sh*t there.
