- Why?

Because you never met anybody

who's been in a plane crash.

- And you want to know why?

- Why?

Because they're all dead.

I think those pills

are affecting you already.

[chuckles] I think so.

Oh, my God.

What... What takes you

to Arizona?

Oh, my...

- My daughters live there.

- Hmm.

Well, that should be fun.

Not exactly.

They're kind of

forcing me to go.

Why?

[sighs] Well...

my husband,

he died last year, so...

Plane crash?

[laughs]

Oh! You didn't say that.

- Sorry, that was a bad joke.

- That's okay.

- I'm really sorry for your loss.

- I'm sorry, too. No, well...

Thank you, that's sweet.

Thank you so much.

- Yeah...

- [thump]

- Oh!

- [woman] Hey!

[shrieks]

[groans]

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, my God.

[whispers]

Oh, this is terrible.

- Wow.

- I'm so...

[stammers] That was the jet bridge

and we're still on the ground.

- We're still on the ground?

- Yeah.

I'm so terribly sorry.

[groans]

- I'm quite all right.

- Okay.

Anything I can do to make

your flight more comfortable.

I appreciate that,

thank you so much.

[pop music playing]

[inaudible]

[whispers] Oh, Jesus.

[sighs]

Oh, wow.

[sighs] Oh...

Oh.

Okay.

[whispers]

Give me a break, okay?

This...

[scoffs]

[Vivian] Whoa!

[groans]

[groans] Oh, my God, yes.

- You know, I was wondering.

- Huh?

That must have been one heck

of a book you were reading.

May I ask what it was?

- Moby Dick. That's what it was.

- Moby Dick.

Uh-huh. Melville.

I didn't realize Christian Grey

had a nickname.

- Enjoy Arizona.

- Yeah, sure, of course.

Not a problem.

[assistant, over intercom] Miss O'Donnell,

I have an Arthur Riley for you.

Is that so?

Take a message.

[Arthur]

Take a message?

Really?

[sighs]

I didn't realize that...

[clears throat]

that you were here.

We just saw each other

in the lobby two days ago.

Pity. They say the memory

is the second thing to go.

- What's the first thing to go?

- Can't remember.

I'm impressed.

- How did you find me?

- Google.

- Google?

- Yeah, it's a service on the computer.

Yeah, I know Google.

Oh, well, I'm younger than

you, so I didn't know...

Oh, cute. Cute.

What do you say?

May a gentleman buy you

a cup of coffee?

Well, a gentleman

certainly may.

Do you know of one?

It was the mid-'80s.

I became obsessed

with risk management.

You obsessed with work?

That's crazy.

I know, right?

Shocking!

I could see the system

was set up for trouble.

Of course, none of the men

in my firm believed me.

Well, men can be a little

slow on the uptake.

Bad for them, good for me.

And, um...

you never picked up

a husband along the way?

No!

Like I said,

I'm way too good...

at forecasting risk.
