INT. LOBBY -- DAY
The lobby is filled with SMI agents. The blue Mission
Statement is in evidence everywhere. Jerry inconspicuously
turns the corner, yearns to blend in. It's impossible, the
recognition ripples through the lobby. Underling agent BOB
SUGAR, 25, is the first to grab Maguire by the shoulders.
("Finally, someone said it!") Suddenly another agent begins
to clap, then reluctantly, another. Soon, the ovation rocks
the lobby. (In a three-shot near the front desk, we see a 26
year-old female employee of SMI applauding with Mission
Statement in hand, her sleepy son at her side.) Jerry
motions for them all to stop, but clearly he could listen
forever. It is a watershed moment in his life.
JERRY'S VOICE
I was 35. I had started my life.
Swing off Maguire to find two agents standing clapping
enthusiastically near the elevator. One offers gum to the
other.
AGENT # 1 (RACHEL)
How long you give him?
AGENT # 2 (CHRIS)
Mmmm. A week.
ON AIRPLANE WHEELS
folding up into a plane, as music and credits end.
INT. AIRPLANE/FIRST CLASS -- NIGHT
We move past a snoring businessman, onto tired but
adrenalized Jerry Maguire. He sits in first-class, working
on his laptop, a pile of newspapers and magazines nearby.
The WOMAN PASSENGER next to him, 3oish, finishes up a spicy
phone conversation with her boyfriend.

WOMAN:
Monkeyface... monkeyface,
listen... I'm not going to say it
here.... no...
Jerry continues to work, as his laptop now beeps. Battery's
low.
WOMAN:
(continuing)
... oh listen, I got you the
perfect white shirt, at this out
of the way place... no... quit
trying to make me say it!
Jerry shuts off his laptop and prepares for sleep. Trying
not to listen.
WOMAN:
(continuing)
how about if I do it and don't say
it... mmmm... see you soon...
She laughs seductively and hangs up. She is still buzzed
from the conversation. Jerry turns to her, surprising her.
JERRY:
I have to ask.
WOMAN:
(protective)
What --
JERRY:
Where'd you find the perfect white
shirt?
She laughs, it's an infectious laugh -- two strangers
enjoying the good life -- as we DRIFT BACK three rows, past
the panel separating the cool comfort of first class from the
stuffy airless and uncomfortable world of coach.
We meet DOROTHY BOYD, 26. A harried passenger on this bus in
the sky. Her clothes are part-contemporary, part mother-
functional. She is never as composed or in control as she
wants to be. Right now she is devoted to the sneezing kid in
the wrinkled white-shirt sitting next to her. It is RAY, her
five-year old son. Dorothy is covered in toys and books.
Stuffed into the side pocket is Jerry's Mission Statement.
The easy laughter from three rows ahead washes over her like
cold water, as she rings again for a Flight Attendant. The
overworked ATTENDANT arrives, pissed, snapping off the bell.
