this from the inside anyway.

I mean, that's

the whole idea, right?

TINA:
Hey, everyone...

(gasping)

I'm freaking out.

I don't do well

in small places.

- JEFFREY:
None of us do.

- Look at me, just breathe.

You've gotta breathe.

Look at me, calm down.

Calm down.

Whatever you do...

What do you say, Eddie,

should we give it a shot?

- Ready?

- Yeah.

MICHAEL:

Wait, wait, wait.

You just said, the reason why

this thing is locked, so...

can we just, like,

wait for the people

to come and get us

out of here?

I mean, I know it's terrible, but we've

only been in here for like a few minutes.

Let me see if

I've got this straight.

The dude that rides a bicycle

all over Manhattan

is the dude that's

now making safety an issue?

Whatever, dude. I'm the dude with

a reason for what I'm saying.

Guys, could we please

not do the "dude" thing?

Listen, we've

gotta stay calm, okay?

Someone will come. I think...

I'm sorry, what is your name?

Michael.

- Michael, hi, I'm Eve.

- MICHAEL:
Hello.

This is Jeffrey.

You are...?

- Tina.

- Okay.

You know

I'm Eddie.

Yes. We just have to keep

calm, you guys.

Look, guys, I think we're just

gonna have to wait this out.

That's what we'll have to do.

Because of insurance?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Thank you.

- Exac...

- Thanks.

Okay, okay.

So, what floor are we on,

exactly?

Uh, let's see.

I got on the 35th floor,

went up a little bit.

I wanna say we're somewhere

between the 38th, 37th floor.

That's it.

(Tina sighs)

Anybody want one?

Helps you relax.

No, I'm good.

As Matt just mentioned,

we have a breaking news story

to tell you about.

Apparently a plane

has just crashed

into the World Trade Center

here in New York City.

Nora, come here.

I need you to take all of this,

take it right into there.

MAN:
We need a supervisor here.

Is there a supervisor?

METZIE:
Guys, we've got

32 elevators off the grid.

All the upper floors are gone.

No security cameras anywhere.

I did manage to find two folks

in shaft 6 on floors 8 and 13.

All right, we've got an inferno on

the North Tower on 90 and above.

Can any of my guys

take the elevators?

You cannot take the elevators.

They are down. Nothing is working.

- Ninety floors of stairs?

- METZIE:
Ninety floors.

- There's gotta be a better way.

- I'm sorry, guys, I don't have it for you.

- You just gotta do what you can do.

- Alright, we'll make do.

Tell the captain we're going

90, we're taking the stairs.

Go, fellas!

We're taking the stairs!

WOMAN (on TV):
...behind me,

and it is unbelievable.

When the fire first...

(muffled rumbling, clanging)

- (lights sparking)

- (Tina screams)

- MICHAEL:
F***!

- EDDIE:
What the f***?
