The Citizen Page #2

You're sure? Now?

Yeah, it'll be fun.

- Come on.

- I would love to. I, um, take my camera?

Yeah, bring your camera.

Okay.

Sorry, room 310,

there is no answer.

Yeah, would you

like to leave a message?

Rashad Batar.

You're his cousin, right?

Wrong airport?

You went to Newark?

The sun returns the heat

Burns the soles of my feet

I wasn't trying

to escape the sun

All I knew was I had to run

And so to find some shade

I grabbed all that I made

The wind is blowing

towards the west

My heart was beating

through my chest

Searching for a sky

Not too wet, not too dry

Wide and open, spacious

Free of the clouds

and not too sheltering

True joy,

balance, love

All you look for

from above

Let the rains

come down

I worried

I would drown

The taste of water,

strange and sweet

- Running down my tongue

and cheeks - That works.

It's good.

He's not for us!

He will never be for us!

The cowboy sittin' in the office at 1600

Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.,

is not my president,

he is not your president.

He is not the candidate that was voted

for by the majority of U.S. citizens.

Do you think that

we should stay here?

They are saying very bad things

about the president.

No, it's freedom of speech.

But it's now time for us to push him out!

He must go!

- He is a fraud!

- He must go!

He must go!

He must go!

He must go!

Now I can say I am New Yorker?

Not so fast.

I haven't even shown you

Battery Park yet.

Battery?

Yeah.

It's my neighborhood.

Um... give me a call...

if you want

another tour.

Your number?

Yeah.

They fly through Canada,

the United States and Mexico,

across Central America...

Uh, Laura, what can you tell

us about what you saw?

I got up to my window. I live in Battery

Park City, right next to the Twin Towers,

and I looked up and the side of the north

building of the World Trade Center exploded...

right when I looked up,

and, uh, at that point...

Hello?

This is Ibrahim from yesterday.

Yes. What's going on there?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Uh... Oh, my God...

Diane?

Diane?

...top part.

People are running up...

Um, we are getting

word that perhaps a second plane...

Good Lord. I don't

know if you... you can see the plane,

if that too

was a passenger plane or...

Perhaps some type of navigating

system or some type of, uh...

uh... electronics,

would it put two planes into

the World Trade Center within...

it looks like about 18 minutes

of each other?

...word now that President Bush

is going to be coming on...

and is going to have

comments, uh, momentarily.

- We understand...

- My brother is down there.

He owns a kiosk

at the bottom of the tower.

What the hell
