CHRISTA AND BLAKE

You're so sweet. Thanks, Alex.

Alex crames up into the aisles, making his way to Tod, sitting two rows up

in 22 H.

Alex climbs over Tod to take the window seat. Clear Rivers sits in the seat

directly behind Alex.

TOD:

(mouths)

Fag.

ALEX:

C'mon, man, like you really

thought you were tittie f*** 'em

over Greenland, or something?

TOD:

Because of you, I gotta sit

here and watch fuckn' "Stepmom."

As Alex sits, the tray table falls from it's upright position.

He lifts the tray back up, but as he turns the latch, it BREAKS OFF in his

hand. He briefly tries to jimmie the tray into postition, then gives up.

CAMERA FOLLOWS ALEX'S HAND as it rises. CAMERA SWEEPS IN EXTREAMLY CLOSE to

the ATTENDANT CALL BUTTON. As Alex's finger engages the button, it lights up

orange.

ALEX:

The jet lurches. He looks...

OUT OF THE WINDOW - ALEX'S POV

The 747 begins rolling out of the gate.

ALEX:

As he looks back, searching for the nearst flight attendant...

ALEX'S POV - THROUGH THE SEATS - CLEAR RIVERS

reads her book. Another leans to look out the window.

ALEX:

lifts a bit out of his seat, searching for any flight attendant O.S., A

PING.

CAPTAIN (V.O)

Flight Attendants prepare for

departure.

Looking fore in the cabin...

ALEX'S POV - NEAR THE FLIGHT DECK

The flight attendants strap themselves in for take-off.

ALEX:

O.S., the ENGINE VLOUME INCREASES in PITCH and INTENSITY as the jet begins

to taxi. Alex sits back as the tray over his lap. He looks out the window.

ALEX'S POV - THE RIGHT WING

appears motionless in the f.g. as the tarmac and runway signs roll past the

window. THE ENGINE PITCH RISES...

ALEX:

The ENGINES WHIR as the jet gathers SPEED. He checks the window.

ALEX'S POV- THE RUNWAY

is a blur. The airport terminals in the b.g. streak past. The wings lift,

angeled as the jets leaves the ground.

ALEX:

O.S., hois classmates CHEER and "raise the roof." The trip has begun.

CAMERA PULLS AWAY FROM ALEX, as if reflecting his easing of annoyance with

the tray situation. He finally appears to notice the raucous reaction and

settles back in his seat, slightly pushed by mild-g force. The upwarding

angle increasing...

The cabin buffets, as if passing mild turbulance. Then...

The cabin sharply JOLTS! Everyone tenses, GASPS. CAMERA SWEEPS BACK TO ALEX.

And just as he clenches his backpack... the cabin BANGS, ROCKS. THE ENGINES

SPOOL TO A STALL. METAL TWISTS under extreme PRESSURE. The cabin dips,

angles, sharply to the right.

ALEX'S POV - THE CABIN

Passengers SCREAM! Unrestrained personal belongings fly across the aircraft

INTO CAMERA, which BUFFETS and SHAKES...
