has a medical condition, but so do l.

My lung walls have depleted cilia.

If I stay here, I could asphyxiate!

No, please, please, please,

please, please, please.

Please!

Hey!

Stop. Please, please.

Hi. I'm sorry, my car is stuck.

Can I get a ride?

Okay.

You know you're going east.

Hospital's this way.

It's flooded.

I mean, it's a dead end.

Yeah, well, if you don't mind,

I gotta try.

Okay, that will be $30 cash, please.

Didn't you use to be that actress?

Yes.

-Wow.

-Now, is that a nice room?

Because though I am leaving soon,

I still would prefer a nice room.

Your nicest...

...if that is possible.

Eight's very cozy.

I tried to tell you.

Hey! Hey, stop!

There's no way through.

There's no way through!

No way through!

-Lou, wake up.

-What?

Cell phone.

-What?

-Do you have a cell phone?

Who wants to know?

There's been an accident,

a bad one. A lady's hurt.

-We need a cell phone right now.

-Dude, slow down.

First, we don't know who you are.

Second, we don't see an accident--

Listen to me, dude, I'm having a really

f***ed-up, wet, bad f***ing day.

So if you have a cell phone,

give it to me now!

Dude, we don't have a cell phone,

so could you just let go of me now?!

I need you to give me a lift

in the other direction.

It's flooded that way too.

It's worse than this.

Ginny, pop the trunk.

Let them in.

Let them in.

Hey. How you doing?

-Phone still dead?

-Yeah. Where's your Lincoln?

Stuck in a run-off two miles down

the road. The other way's f***ed too.

The kids gave us a lift.

The girl was stranded.

-Is there another way out?

-Is she a hooker?

Hey! ls there a back road?

Where do you think the water's going?

You wouldn't get 500 feet.

-How's the woman?

-I don't know. They're in number 4.

I'm sorry. We don't rent rooms

by the hour.

Funny. You still serving food?

Vending machines are around

the corner. Go ahead.

Rooms are 30 bucks in advance with

picture ID. You need one room or two?

Excuse me. I was talking to you.

I'd appreciate it if you looked at me.

Well, I don't like looking at trash.

We're a little stuck here, George.

I don't think we can get out tonight.

-She just keeps shaking.

-She's in shock.

-Let me take a look.

-What?

Let me take a look.

Did your wife pack a sewing kit?

No.

Ginny, wait up.

Six.

At least we got a good number.

-Did you feel that?

-Feel what?

Cold.

Are you the manager?

Yeah.

I'm Officer Rhodes, Corrections.

I'm transporting a prisoner here.

The law gives you the right

to refuse us service...

...but the roads are flooded.

I could use a room.

-It's an emergency.

-You got a radio in that car?

-Who's this?

-Limo driver, had an accident.

I got a lady pretty banged up.
