And if I was really lucky,

I'd see a shooting star and

I'd wish he'd come home.

Oh. I love that.

Did you ever want to do that?

Yeah.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, I did.

Okay. Then why are you not a pilot?

Because I'm afraid to fly.

- Really?

- Didn't really work.

- Wow.

- Scared to death.

Right.

Tell me something about you.

What do you do?

I... I work at the Howard

pace gallery downtown.

Totally would have guessed that.

- No! Really?

- Mm-hm.

Well, it's funny. I never...

I don't know, I never saw myself

working in an art gallery.

Well, what did you want to be?

A dancer.

The other day at work, I made a mistake.

I lost my flow.

And, um... you know,

there was... there was one

plane that was about to land,

and another one about to take off.

Something happened.

I nearly killed 900 people.

The plane that was coming in...

What flight was it?

As841 from O'Hare.

Are you okay?

That was my flight.

What?

I was on that flight.

Oh, I... I nearly killed you.

No. You saved me.

Sorry, guys. We're closing.

Um... no.

- Can we get one more drink?

- Yeah. Just...

I know we only just met, but doesn't it...

Feel like we've known each other forever?

I was actually going to say

it feels a little more intense

than your typical first date.

I had a really good time tonight.

- How are you doing?

- Oh, yeah, I'm great.

Did you want to help me out, or...?

You know, you're not

actually creating the art.

You're just doing the background.

It's all about the background, Sarah.

Okay.

Major rendering meltdown.

Howard, stop texting me.

Jonas! How's my favorite

mad artist this morning?

I'm trying to create and

you're stressing me out.

Well, just make it incredible.

Because art is that easy.

Okay. Hey.

I suppose you want a coffee too?

Soy latte with an extra shot?

Thank you.

Don't worry about me, guys.

I'm on a cleanse.

How was it? The ballet?

It was beautiful. It was, um...

Yeah, it was... It was really nice.

It wasn't anything religious, but...

Bullshit - it was religious.

You're glowing.

Thank you.

Um... okay!

It looks good.

Emirates 443.

Hello?

Hello. Is Dylan Branson there?

Yeah?

Is this Dylan Branson of

818 east 12th street?

Hey! What the hell is wrong with you, man?

You cut me off!

I can't believe this sh*t!

Are you kidding me?

I'm cruising down my bike Lane

and you come clip me off?

Pick up your bike and get on your way.

Uh, I'm sorry. Who's this?

Regina Jones from grand central.

Yep. It was found on the subway last night.

- It's your lucky day.

- Thanks.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

I've missed you.

Bobby, stay in line!

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Please remain calm.

Hi.

I'm sorry. Did I, uh...

Hi.

Oh.

Oh...

God, that looked so much

better when I picked it.

It actually had petals.

- Okay. Yeah.

- I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no!

I want it. It's, uh...

It... it... it smells great.

Hey, would you like to do dinner again?

I...

It's a little early, don't you think?

So do you want the short story or the long?

- No, short.

- Okay.

- I don't got all day. -

- Okay. Okay.

Um... well, I started

dancing when I was seven...

And for me, it was really

kind of the only thing

that really, like, felt like me, you know?

And halfway through my senior year,

I got offered an apprenticeship

at the New York City ballet...

- Mm-hm?

- Which of course I took.

Six months into being there, I, um...

I landed awkwardly

on a jump that I had done

a hundred times before...

And I busted my knee.

I shredded two ligaments.

- And, um...

- Wow.

I don't know. It was over.

You know what?

Stuff like that...

I think it all happens for a reason.

If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

Can I have that?

- The paper?

- Yeah.

Watch this.

I guess I'm the pilot that can't fly.

You're the dancer that can't dance.

Or can you?

- What?

- Come on.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

So come and help me out.

Come on - just don't

leave me standing here.

- Come on.

- No.

- Come on. Put it down.

- Oh, god.

Wait.

Oh, I don't think I'm ready for this.

Come on.

You see it?

Wow.

What time do you work today?

Three hours ago.

Yeah.

What's this?

This?

It's pretty.

Thanks. It's cool.

A friend made it for me for my birthday.

A friend?

A boyfriend.

- An ex-boyfriend.

- Oh, thank god.

- That's good.

- I know.

- That's the good news.

- I know.

He's actually...

I don't think you're going to

like this very much, but...

He is actually the artist

who's showing at the gallery.

Oh, I love it. That's great.

It's great.

I just better make sure I

do something that competes.

- Oh, okay.

- When is your birthday?

Next week. The 18th.

Are you kidding?

No. Why?

- 18th?

- Yeah.

- What year?

- 1986.

No, seriously? 1986?

- Yes!

- April 18th?

- 1986.

- That's nuts.

- That's my birthday.

- Oh, whatever.

- I swear.

- Okay.

- I swear.

- You are out of control.

I swear!

We're both turning 30 next week.

I don't believe you.

You're a liar.

Hell! What is the matter with you?

Oh, do you have eyes?

- Can you drive?

- How did you...?

- It doesn't matter!

- It does matter.

Why were you in the road?

Wow. That's the third day in a row.

Sarah, question.

- Too much?

- No, I love it.

Are we good to do tech checks?

Do I look like we're

good to do tech checks?

Jonas, we open Friday night.

I'm not doing it cold.

It'll be ready.

Why do you always do this to me?

Because you love it.

Okay, I'm bored now.

You smell good.

- It's the pheromones.

- Benny!

She's in love.

No, she's not in love.

She's definitely in lust.

Guys, stop!

You are, aren't you?

I don't want to talk about it.

We are not even close to being ready.

I'm happy for you.

No, you're not.

Just hope he knows how lucky he is.

Come on!

Yeah, I've seen them, you know.

Hey, man, why didn't you stop?

Which way are you going?

No worry. Is faster.

Yeah.

- No.

- Can I help you with that?

Um... don't go this way, okay?

We're heading towards grand central.

- No, is good.

- No, no - let's not do this.

Just stop the cab.

What your problem?

- Just stop the cab, okay?

- No yelling!

Stop the cab and let me out, please!

No yelling! I tell you no yelling at me!

Okay. Help 'em out! Give me a hand!

Okay, pull!

Hey, buddy - you okay?

Hey, let me help you out.

Hey, somebody call an ambulance!

Ah!

Hey.

Take this off.

This is going to sound ridiculous, okay?

But I... I keep seeing the same

people for three days in a row,

at grand central.

A businessman reads a newspaper.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

A couple hugs.

I've missed you.

There's, uh...

And these kids are crossing the concourse.

One drops something.

For three days in a row,

a pregnant woman under the clock.

It's...

At exactly 2:
22.

Boom.

Your attention, please.

Your safety is our first priority.

Please remain calm.

You're okay.
