Up in the Air Page #2
RYAN:
Don’t worry. We’ll be in touch
soon. This is just the beginning.
Steve nods and exits the room.
RYAN (V.O.)
6.
INT. RYAN’S ROOM - PHOENIX HILTON - DAY
The choreography of Ryan’s packing is worthy of Tchaikovsky.
A coat slides off a hanger... A travel toothbrush folds
closed like a switchblade... A briefcase clicks onto a roll-
away bag... A hand flips a light switch without looking.
INT. LOBBY, PHOENIX HILTON - DAY
Ryan is at the check out desk.
CHECKOUT GIRL:
Do you have your Hilton Honors Card
with you?
Ryan smiles... “Do I?”
He hands it to her, close enough to camera, that we get a
nice big close up of it. She runs the card and the screen
pops up with information that makes her blush.
CHECKOUT GIRL:
Oh my God... Do you like, live, at
the Hilton?
Ryan nods in faux modesty.
EXT. OUTDOOR CAR RETURN, HERTZ RENT-A-CAR - DAY
Ryan pulls up to one of the spaces marked with the #1 GOLD
PRESIDENTS CLUB emblem. He hops out and a uniformed man with a
handheld device begins to punch in the license plate number.
Ryan pulls out his HERTZ PRESIDENTS CLUB CARD and places it
nice and close to lens so we can see it.
The card slides through the handheld device and we see the
DIGITAL NUMBER increase by a few thousand points.
INT. MAIN CONCOURSE, PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTL AIRPORT - DAY
The automated GLASS DOORS slide open. Ryan enters the
concourse and takes a deep breath of the temperately
controlled air. He has arrived.
RYAN (V.O.)
This is where I live.
Subtitles - “Airworld”
7.
Ryan skips the long lines and steps directly into the
AAdvantage Executive Platinum line.
Glorious close-up of Ryan’s AAdvantage Executive Platinum
CARD sliding through the AUTOMATED MACHINE. Were it any
sexier, we’d hear a moan. Maybe we even do.
Immediately, the AIRPORT CLERK registers and perks up.
AIRPORT CLERK:
Pleasure to see you again, Mr. Bingham.
RYAN (V.O.)
When I run my card, the system
automatically prompts the desk
clerk to greet me with this exact
statement.
We see it again...
AIRPORT CLERK:
Pleasure to see you again, Mr. Bingham.
Ryan nods back to the clerk.
RYAN (V.O.)
Had my status simply been gold or
God-forbid, silver. I might have
gotten a hello or a smile... Maybe.
Ryan continues to hit buttons, swiftly checking in.
RYAN (V.O.)
Loyalty is earned and rewarded with
these small touches. It’s these kinds
of systemized friendly touches that
keep my world in orbit.
A ticket begins printing. Ryan snaps it up.
INT. SECURITY - PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTL AIRPORT - SAME
Ryan steps up and observes his line choices. He finds a few
Asian businessmen and hops in behind them.
