Turbulence Page #3

Synopsis: Ryan Weaver romances beautiful women before he kills them. Ryan is arrested, convicted, and is part of a Christmas Eve transfer of prisoners on a transcontinental 747 commercial flight. Other airlines at JFK may have holiday passengers waiting on stand-by, but this jumbo jet takes off with a lot of empty seats. Ryan and another prisoner overpower and kill their guards. The few civilian passengers are herded into a "pantry" on the plane and are not seen again until the end of the movie. Ryan eliminates the other prisoners and all the crew members except Teri Halloran. The remainder of the movie follows a "cat-and-mouse" game between Ryan and Teri on the 747.

That's two strikes, Stubbs.

One more and I will gag you.

You got a short fuse, Marshal.

It's going to be a long flight.

Sorry about that, miss.

He won't be bothering you again.

Sir?

Just bring me a Coke.

"Buffalo Gals".

The song from

It's a Wonderful Life.

Buffalo gals, won't you

come out tonight, come out tonight

That was driving me crazy.

I dated a criminal once.

Only once.

He owned a used car lot. They busted him

for turning back the odometers.

How could you trust someone

like that?

I figured I did the same thing

when I told him I was 21.

She's really cute.

Yeah, just your type.

I know it's meaningless

to mention...

but a detective planted

the evidence that convicted me.

You're innocent.

Yes, I am.

Duly noted.

Are you married?

Yeah, but I don't wear rings.

I don't like jewelry.

You don't have

to defend yourself to me.

Was that a tough sell to your wife?

The "I don't like wearing jewelry" bit?

Weaver, I know you'd like

to entertain yourself...

by engaging me

in a challenging conversation...

but I like to read

on a plane.

Duly noted.

Just fax me that stuff.

All right?

Just fax me that stuff.

All right?

Hey, Aldo, I watched Inside Edition

last night. How come you weren't on it?

Because I was

doing Oprah instead.

- Oprah.

- Didn't you get the message?

What message?

Hard Copy called.

They did?

Hines. Yeah?

Coffee.

Ah, great.

You read my mind.

And served

with such style and grace.

Well, that's easy

after a zillion miles.

Cream and sugar.

Skim milk and saccharin.

Oh, god. Why do l

do this to myself?

An old man trying to stay fit

in a young world.

Hey! You're supposed

to stick up for me.

I'm just looking at the clouds.

We heading into rain?

Yeah. Three heavies in front of us

reported serious turbulence.

We're changing altitude and course

to try to vector around it.

May put us ten minutes behind schedule,

so better let the crew know.

That is an easy order

on this flight.

Good evening, folks.

This is Captain Powell.

Good evening, folks.

This is Captain Powell.

Been reports of rough air

west of our position.

I'm going to leave

the seat belt sign off...

as we try to steer clear

of the weather.

However, I recommend that

while you are in your seats...

keep your seat belts fastened

at all times.

- Yes?

- I'll have the steak, please.

Me too.

Ten-to-one one of them has

a heart attack before we land.

What will you have?

What do you recommend?

The turkey.

If that's what you like,

then that's what I'll have.

You got it...

but I'm a vegetarian.

Turkey.

I'll have the same.

What would you like, sir?

I got to hit the head.

You went before

we took off.
