Age of Ice Page #3

Go!

Mariam?

Dylan, give me your bag.

Here.

We can use these to dry off.

Thank you.

So, Tariq, where are you from?

I am from Jordan. That's...

I know where that is.

Of course you do. I left after

my father and I had an argument.

What kind of argument?

Dad! It's snowing!

How's it snowing so fast?

Wow, look at the airport!

It's completely covered. Dad,

they'll never let us fly out of there.

Ok, we can use these to keep warm.

Just wrap your heads.

Hello? Mariam?

Dad, can we get on the plane?

Yeah buddy, it's just like

LAX on a Monday morning, right?

Mariam?

Sir, can you keep it down?

You're scaring the children.

We haven't moved an inch in 15 minutes.

It's ok. It's ok. The safest place

for us right now is in this cab.

Until we are inside the airport gates.

I don't wanna go out there!

Then you don't have to.

- Ok, I've had enough of that!

- Let me try.

Hey!

Where is he going? Um...

- Oh my god!

- Did you see that?

How are the planes gonna

be able to take off?

It's fine, they just uh...

the de-ice the plane on the runway.

Dad, this is the desert.

Do they do that here?

Do they?

It's ok.

You know what?

We've gone about as far as we

can by car anyway. Why don't we...

Are you sure about this?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Ok.

All right, Amber, stay with mom. Dylan,

hold my hand and Tariq, try and keep up.

You ready?

Whoa. Keep up Dylan, OK?

I'm trying! I'm trying!

It's an ice age plane!

My god.

Jack!

Look!

Perfect.

Come on.

Wow! There's no one here.

When is the next train?

Dad, the landlines are down too.

The train comes through every hour.

There should be one leaving now. Come on.

- Are you sure? - Yes, I don't just

speak Arabic, Jack. I can read it too.

Right! Of course you can.

Come on.

I wish the snow would let up.

Stick with me.

Stick together.

There's not gonna be another train.

Come on buddy. I gotcha.

Honey!

- Grab my hand!

- Mom!

Come up! I got ya!

- Wow!

- Dylan!

Dylan! Dylan!

Amber! No! Amber!

Come on honey!

You can make it!

Come on!

They're not gonna make it.

On 3?

Ok, 1.

3!

Honey, are you ok?

Jack?

Just give me a minute to think.

Guys, don't fight. Not now! Whoa! Jack!

Calm down! If only we've gotten

there just a minute sooner.

How in the world... How the hell

are we gonna find transportation now?

I don't know. We'll figure

something out. Excuse me?

Maybe we can go back to

the city and find a taxicab.

It's gonna take us hours

to get back to the city and

find a cab. We don't have time!

- Excuse me!

- What?!

I was able to get a hold of my father.

And he's sending a pickup for us.

We need to get down

to the highway quickly!

Are the phones working now?
