Thanks.
That storyline's the depressing one. I much prefer the one where they're up in the plane. Things get interesting up there.
**Background = Plane is hijacked and is almost out of fuel. Hijackers have forced the pilots to follow the train**

Where are we going to land? Ground's too rocky around these parts. Just plains for miles around.
ROGER
Do you think he's serious about the bomb?
LENA
It's a risk we're going to have to take, isn't it?
ROGER
How many people do you think are down there?
LENA
Gosh... I don't know. I've never been down the mines before.
ROGER
I'd say about twenty on the one shift. There are only the two of us.
LENA is quiet.

You know what? You're right. This is absurd. The plane is going to go down either way. Might as well see it through to the end instead of trying to bail out early, hey?

Stop talking. What are you doing? Doesn't matter. See that scaffolding up ahead? That's where we're going to be landing. You'd better get down quick sharp. My boss doesn't like being made to walk too far.
