for a second?

I gotta tie my shoe. Matter

of fact, I gotta go.

We hung out together on Sunday

night at a fashion show,

and she'll be joining us

this morning to tell us about

a personal style show that she

is hosting and producing.

It is called "Tracey Ullman's

Visible Panty Lines."

Bah-da-bah-da-bah...

LAUER:
Katie, we're also going to have

more of our week-long special series

on living longer, living better

after the age of 50.

This morning we'll focus

on the role your mood...

(elevator bell dings)

Excuse me.

- Sorry, sir.

- You're fine.

Oh, sh*t, this one's going up.

(door closes)

You really don't have to

walk me to my car.

I am perfectly capable

of getting there myself.

It's something

a good husband does.

Oh, and that's supposed to

be you all of a sudden?

(cell phone rings)

Hey.

Uh... um...

okay, what time...

what time is your mom

coming through?

Uh, I'll be there

like 15 minutes,

something like 15 minutes after she

gets there, yeah, I'll be there.

Hello? Hello?

Hello, hello, hello?

- Damn.

- (elevator bell dings)

(phone beeping)

(door closes)

(elevator bell dings)

(door opens)

Not a cloud in the sky.

Have a good day, everyone.

WOMAN:
Wait.

Is this one going down?

At some point.

I'll take

the next one.

Perfect.

(explosion)

Sh*t!

What the f*** was that?

(muffled rumbling)

What the hell was that?

Oh, man.

Where are my elevators?

What the hell?

Jeffrey, what's going on?

I don't have a clue.

Maybe one of

the cables snapped.

No, no, no, I heard something.

Sounded like an explosion.

Let me try

the intercom.

Metzie? Hello?

Metzie, come on,

girlfriend, hello?

(distant rumbling, clanging)

- (indistinct conversation)

- MAN:
Something's going on.

MAN:
...check the circuit

breakers right now.

WOMAN:
Is there an outage?

MAN:
It's crazy.

METZIE:
Is anybody there?

Can anybody hear me?

Damn.

What's going on?

- Metzie, you feel that?

- Yeah, what was it?

They say a small-engine plane

hit the building.

- Come on.

- The fire department's trying to figure it out.

Look, half my elevators

are not working.

Nothing on the console

is working at all.

- Try rebooting the communication link.

- METZIE:
I did that.

- Well, try it again.

- Well, how many times should I do it?

- I'm telling you, look at the board!

- Again.

- They'll come up.

- Look at the board!

(hangs up phone)

METZIE:
Where are you going?

I'm gonna go see

what's going on.

Son of a...

(sighs)

Metzie! Metzie,

come on, baby girl!

Who is Metzie?

Metzie's

the elevator dispatcher.

She's usually

"Johnny on the Spot"

when it comes to her elevators.

Metzie!

- All the circuits are busy.

- MICHAEL:
I can't get no reception either.
