- I'm going.

Thank you.

They're much pushier these days.

I didn't want this

to get complicated.

I have to assume

she's gonna read that.

Read what?

- How's she doin'?

- Much better. Thank you.

- Good.

- Thanks.

Pillow?

Would you like a blanket?

Pillow? Pillow?

Would you like a blanket?

Would you like a blanket?

Please return to your seats. Thank you.

"I want you to get

excited about your life.

But you gotta get real.

I'm challenging you, starting now,

to stop dealing

in opinions and assumptions

and start dealing in facts.

Fact:
Fearing to act is human.

Failing to act

is just plain dumb.

Fact:
Thinking when

you should be acting

will only make your head hurt."

I'm not makin' this up, Leese.

It's right here.

Fact:

You've been out

for a half an hour

and Keefe's room still

hasn't been changed.

So I got you some aspirin.

I need you coherent, Leese.

Well, we were hoping

things would calm down,

but that's not happening. So control's

just cleared us up to 35,000 feet.

Let's see if we can't get above

this weather, smooth things out.

Now, let's do this.

If I do it, if I make that call,

do you promise you'll tell who's

outside my dad's house to go away?

You call, I call,

Dad wakes up, puts on coffee,

never suspects a thing,

you go back to work, life goes on.

I am now calling your hotel.

I don't have to tell you

to sound convincing.

- You've said enough.

- Good.

Good morning,

Lux Atlantic Resort, this is Cynthia.

Hello? Hello?

Cynthia, it's Lisa.

Lisa? You sound terrible.

Are you OK?

There's just... There's

a lot of turbulence on the plane.

- You're still on the plane?

- Yeah.

I heard flights are delayed.

You'd be so proud of me.

We're all set for Keefe.

Cristal on ice, the cigars,

not easy to find this time of night.

You know, about that. I'm gonna

need you to do me a favour, OK?

You sure you're OK?

Please do not ask me again if I'm OK.

I hope you're...

Look, something's come up.

We gotta change Keefe's room.

Can you pull up the file?

We're gonna move him

to room 4080. Right.

The PIN is 4882.

- I'm gonna need you to take...

- Gimme that.

Hello? Cynthia?

Pretty clear thinking,

given the circumstances.

Let me guess,

stress management courses?

They're really paying off. We get

outta this, I may have to steal you.

- Excuse me, miss.

- Yes?

- Are the phones not working?

- They cut out during storms.

They'll come back

when we find clear air.

- Great. Thank you.

- You don't have a back-up plan?

- Why are you doing this here?

- Blame your grandmother.

She keeled over,

you hopped on the next flight,

- Keefe changed plans, here we are.

- Excuse me. Peanuts or pretzels?

- Peanuts, thank you.

- Ma'am?

No.

What happens

if they don't start working?

You bury your dad

in a closed casket.

Well, gang, brace yourselves,

cos I have news. I'm engaged!

I know him.

- Know who?

- Keefe.

He's a really decent man.

Well, sometimes bad things

happen to good people.

Like you.

You know, I've known you

for a while now, Lisa.

Before tonight, I mean.

Far as I can tell,

your life revolves around yourjob.

The occasional cocktail

at the corner cafe,

the classic late-night movies.

And scrambled eggs at 3am.

What turned you into such a loner?

Was it your parents' divorce?

Wait, did someone break your heart?

The captain has turned off

the fasten seat belt sign.

- I have to go to the restroom.

- You're free to move about the cabin.

Best I can do.

OK, you know what? You got me.

I'm gonna make that call

when I can make the call.

But right now you gotta let me go.

I need to go.

OK. I trust you.

And I need my purse.

But not that much.

I was really nervous

there for a minute.

We just kept goin' in and out.

Excuse me.

You in line?

Yeah. Do you wanna...?

You were here first.

Excuse me.

Oh, God.

OK. Get up.

I was wondering...

Don't fight me. You're all worked up

from being so creative. Breathe.

Hey, Rebecca.

You can'tjust run off like that.

A man went in there.

Everyone shares. I'll take you

to the one close to your seat.

But a lady's in there too.

OK, one of those flights.

Here, come on.

Please, just stop whoever's

at my dad's house.

I already have, by twice

intercepting these little communiqus.

If they'd have fallen into

the hands of a stewardess,

she'd have gone to the cockpit

and we'd land somewhere else.

If that happens, Leese,

our guy in the BMW's

gonna know about it.

So do Dad a favour

and stop gambling with his life.

You don't have to do this.

Any of this.

Someone do that to you?

No.

Is that what it is?

No.

You know what I think?

You know what I think?

I think you're not

such an honest person.

Because I've followed you

for eight weeks now

and I never once

saw you order anything

but a f***ing sea breeze.

I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

I never lied to you, Leese.

Know why?

Cos it doesn't serve me.

We're both professional.

We have the will and the means

to follow through.

Cos when we don't,

our customers aren't happy.

And when they're not,

we suffer and our lives go to sh*t.

And that's not going to happen.

Is it?

- No.

- Good.

Because I'm gonna tell you

the phones are working again.

Are you sure we

got a deal this time?

Yes.

Peachy.

Well, thanks for the quickie.

Good.

Come on.

Excuse me.

This isn't a motel.

Sure.

- Lose something?

- Yes, my book.

It was here. Maybe it

slipped down behind your...

I need you to pull

yourself together, Lisa.

We seem to have

attracted a little attention.

Once they've made their rounds,

we'll make the call.

The captain has turned

on the fasten seat belt sign.

Please return to your seats

as soon as possible. Thank you.

Yo. You steal my pen, jackass?

No, man, cut it out. I'm sleepin'.

Mr Keefe has a 7 am breakfast

and the meeting's at 8am sharp.

We're out by 9.15. How we doin'?

Cars are en route and on time.

Armoured Escalades,

full communication package.

- Thanks. We're all set.

- Good. Get these out with changes.

- You got it.

- Think fast!

- Danny. Daddy's working.

- Thattaboy.

Come here, you.

You should be sleeping.

Ten minutes till wheels down.

Trash?

I'll get that.

It's time.

Thank you.

Lux Atlantic Resort, this is Cynthia.

Hello?

- Cynthia, it's Lisa.

- Hey, you.

So I guess you

still need that favour.

Yeah. I was checking

with Dan Young from Maintenance.

- We can't put Keefe in that room.

- But he always stays there.

I know. But they were fixing

a water valve in the master bath

and they didn't fix the right one

so if anyone uses the plumbing...

- The sh*t'll hit the fan.

- Exactly.

So where do we move him to?

Lisa? You still there?

4080. OK.

- His security people will be...?

- You're right.

They're not gonna be happy,

so just...

- Just tell them I authorised it.

- OK. Oh, my God.

The cigars, the Cristal.

There's hardly time, Leese. I better go.

Outstanding.

We're close.

What?

You know what. My dad.
