RYAN:
(exhales)
I’ll check in when...
KEVIN:
Hold on, I have Craig Gregory for
you...
RYAN:
I... ah, f***...
INTERCUT WITH:
INT. CRAIG GREGORY’S OFFICE, CTC - DAY
Four words - Store-bought sports memorabilia.
CRAIG GREGORY:
How’s the road warrior?
RYAN:
Twenty minutes from boarding into a
world of bliss.
CRAIG GREGORY:
Great numbers out of Phoenix. You
know Big Auto is going to drop
another 10K this month.
RYAN:
No kidding?
CRAIG GREGORY:
Yeah, Christmas came early. Wish I
could have you in five places at
once. I need you back in Omaha by
the end of the week.
RYAN:
I thought you needed me everywhere.
11.
CRAIG GREGORY (CONT’D)
We got something big - Game
changer.
RYAN:
I don’t know why you ever bring me
in. Wherever I go, the money
follows. Let me plant seeds,
they’ll grow to Oaks.
Craig checks out a CUTE INTERN.
CRAIG GREGORY:
I’m thinking of planting seeds
right now.
RYAN:
What are we talking about here?
CRAIG GREGORY:
You’ll see.
(changes directions)
Today, I took my first crap in two
weeks. Hallelujah.
RYAN:
That’s me, hanging up on you.
CRAIG GREGORY:
Good. I love that sound.
INT. BOEING 757 - DAY
Ryan sits one row behind the bulkhead. Left side. Aisle.
RYAN (V.O.)
To know me is to fly with me. I’m the
aisle, you’re the window - trapped.
Reveal - A man next to Ryan. Some BUSINESSMAN between cities.
He talks, drink in hand, but we don’t hear him.
RYAN (V.O.)
We start chatting, impersonally at
first. Our moderate politics, our
sinking opinions on the American
service industry.
12.
BUSINESSMAN AND RYAN MAKING SUGGESTIONS
RYAN (V.O.)
You recommend a hotel in Tulsa. I
tip you off to a rib joint in Fort
Worth.
BUSINESSMAN TELLS A JOKE. HIS HANDS GESTURE.
RYAN (V.O.)
You tell me your best joke. I’ve
heard it before, but listen anyway.
Ryan laughs out loud.
TURBULENCE. THE BUSINESSMAN TIGHTENS HIS SEAT BELT.
RYAN (V.O.)
Nothing like turbulence to cement a
bond. Soon you’re telling me about
family.
THE MAN SPEAKS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY DISTURBS HIM.
RYAN (V.O.)
Your wife just went back to work
but you can’t intervene because you
sure could use the extra paycheck
and besides, last June she read
some book and woke up one morning a
feminist.
THE MAN LEANS BACK, ARMS CROSSED, WITH A FAR OFF LOOK.
RYAN (V.O.)
And that if your windfall ever came
through, you’d quit and spend the
rest of your days restoring vintage
speedboats.
(saying it with him)
The water. That’s where you belong.
EXT. TARMAC, DALLAS FORT WORTH AIRPORT - DAY
Their PLANE LANDS.
INT. BOEING 757 - DAY
As the plane begins to taxi to the gate, both Ryan and the
Businessman pull out their cards.
