Because I'm not him.

I only aced those tests

because they were based on

a rotating series of algorithmic patterns.

You see patterns?

I guess.

But just not today.

You're suspended, pending

a full board review.

How long?

Four weeks and a board review.

I'm sorry, Dyl.

- It could have been worse.

- It should have been worse.

I almost killed 900 people.

Emirates 433.

What are you doin'?

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Your attention, please.

Safety is our first priority.

Please remain calm.

Um, hi.

I'm sorry.

There you go.

Thank you.

Hey, maybe next time

you can try the one with the

dancing mice and the fairies.

The nutcracker.

Yeah, that one.

- I'm Dylan.

- Did you like...?

Uh...

Did you enjoy the aerial ballet?

Yeah, I loved it.

It was incredible.

You seem surprised.

It's my first time at the ballet.

A friend kind of dared me to go.

Would you like a drink?

Uh...

Or not.

I'd prefer to get out of here...

Actually.

With me?

Yeah.

Oh, that's great!

I'm Sarah - in case you

wanted to know my name.

Well, I kinda wanted to know.

Come on.

- So your first time?

- Yeah.

Wasn't what I expected.

No bulging tights.

Oh, mercifully no.

It was more... more epic.

Or... um, intimate.

Or... both.

Yeah, or both. I don't know.

You know, it kind of reminded me

of this feeling I'd get as a kid.

I'd wait until everyone had gone to bed,

and then I'd climb on to the

roof to look at the stars.

Because my Dad was a pilot,

so whenever I saw a flashing star,

I'd pretend it was him

flying across the sky

and I knew he'd be looking down at me.

And if I was really lucky,

I'd see a shooting star and

I'd wish he'd come home.

Oh. I love that.

Did you ever want to do that?

Yeah.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, I did.

Okay. Then why are you not a pilot?

Because I'm afraid to fly.

- Really?

- Didn't really work.

- Wow.

- Scared to death.

Right.

Tell me something about you.

What do you do?

I... I work at the Howard

pace gallery downtown.

Totally would have guessed that.

- No! Really?

- Mm-hm.

Well, it's funny. I never...

I don't know, I never saw myself

working in an art gallery.

Well, what did you want to be?

A dancer.

The other day at work, I made a mistake.

I lost my flow.

And, um... you know,

there was... there was one

plane that was about to land,

and another one about to take off.

Something happened.

I nearly killed 900 people.

The plane that was coming in...

What flight was it?

As841 from O'Hare.

Are you okay?

That was my flight.

What?

I was on that flight.

Oh, I... I nearly killed you.

No. You saved me.

Sorry, guys. We're closing.

Um... no.

- Can we get one more drink?
