are gonna be there.

Call me, okay?

Donna!

-Hi.

-Hey.

I'm so glad you came.

-Thanks for having me.

-Come on in.

Oh, my.

That looks so good.

Thank you so much.

Donna, you got to get in there

and start mingling

with some of the straight guys.

We had them shipped in here

especially for you

from Jim's work.

Oh, thank you.

God, you look really nice.

Are you serious?

Man, I'm so beat.

I really need this rest.

Well, I think you look great.

-[ Telephone rings ]

-Oh, shoot.

Can you just give them

the address?

Clinton and Pierpont.

Hello?

Oh, Bob.

It's Donna Jensen.

Oh, when do you need her?

Really? Tomorrow?

But that's Christmas Eve.

You know what?

I'll take it.

Yeah, I could really use

the shift.

Christmas in Paris?

It's a dream.

Okay.

I'll see you there.

Was that Kim and Nancy?

Are you happy with

your long-distance carrier?

-I said you were.

-Can you believe them?

I guess they just figure

everyone's home.

Will you pose for photos?

So I'm waiting by the phone

For the blessed ring

Like a holy grail

For the Fisher King

Time is ticking down

Like a metronome

Rhythm for my brain

And its ceaseless games

I never seem to play them

to the beat I hear

Though my heartbeat

is a beat that beats so near

So I'm changing who I am

'Cause what I am's not good

And I know you love me now

Is that Donna Jensen?

[ Laughs ]

Sally!

What are you doing here?

We're creatures of habit.

Jack and l.

We have Christmas in Paris.

New Year's in New York.

Wow. How exciting.

Really not.

Were you here

for Christmas, too?

Yes, I was.

Gosh.

The Champs-Elysees

and the lights.

I loved it.

Did I ever tell you

about a nasty habit

flight attendants

pick up on the job?

No.

We learn to always keep smiling.

Even when we're out

of Bloody Mary mix.

[ Exhales deeply ]

Do you remember that guy

I was telling you about? Ted.

Of course.

Oh, I just really miss him.

That's all.

Well, what's the problem?

Go fly and see him.

Well, I can't.

I took your advice,

and we broke up.

My advice?

Well, sort of.

In your book, you say,

"Don't ever let anything get

in the way of your destiny."

Darling, I don't think

you read carefully enough.

What I also said was that

every pilot needs a copilot.

And it is awful nice

to have someone

sitting there beside you.

Especially when you hit

some bumpy air.

Oh, I just really miss him.

I just wish

I could get him back.

The last time I checked,

you were a girl

who could make things happen.

So stop feeling sorry

for yourself.

And stop worrying

about what he'll say.

You're right.

I'm gonna do it.

All right.

But we have to move fast.

There is a 9:
00 p.m. direct

from Paris to Chicago.

If you got the last connection

out of O'Hare,

that would put you

into Cleveland in...

BOTH:

Who am I gonna get

to cover my shift?

Are you kidding?

I still give

the best oxygen-mask demo

in the business.

Get going.

Pierre, I need a uniform

tout de suite.

Welcome to New York, where

the local time is 7:13 a.m.

I'd like to personally thank you

for flying with us today

and remind you that the last one

off the plane has to clean it.

Lying in my bed

I hear the clock tick

And think of you

Caught up in circles

Confusion is nothing new

You say go slow

I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

If you're lost, you can look

and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall,

I will catch you

I'll be waiting

Time after time

[ Doorbell rings ]

Hello?

Ted?

Hi, Mrs. Stewart.

I'm Donna.

I don't know if you remember me.

I'm Ted's friend.

We got you that little

clicker thing for the TV.

Remember?

Is Ted here?

[ Exhales deeply ]

I messed up.

I really did.

I thought

that I was getting everything

that I wanted, and...

I thought Paris and...

first class

would make me happy.

But...it didn't.

'Cause...

if you don't have that person

to come home to,

then going away is just...

I love him.

[ Sniffles ]

And I just wanted to tell him

that he made me happy.

Who are you?

You haven't heard a single word

I've said, have you?

I did.

I love you.

And I want to stay.

I do.

Are you sure?

And you're gonna be happy?

Yep.

In Cleveland?

How are you gonna be happy

in Cleveland?

'Cause you're in Cleveland.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Sally had said

that life is a series

of arrivals and departures.

But I learned

there is more than one way

to spread your wings.

DONNA:

Ladies and gentlemen...

welcome to Cleveland

Hopkins lnternational Airport.

Keep your seat belts fastened

until we reach the gate.

We know you have a choice

when you travel.

We thank you for choosing

Royalty Express.

If this is just

a stopover for you,

we wish you a safe, pleasant

continuation of your journey.

If Cleveland

is your final destination...

welcome home.

Don't stop believin'

Mark.

Mark.

[ Sighs ]

That is bull S.

You want to know what's bull S?

Eye exams!

You can't keep laughing at that.

That's evil.

I'll get it.

[ Muffled shouting ]

MAN:
Cut!

Infinity flight

two-niner-niner-zero,

you are cleared for takeoff

on runway six.

Nine!

D'oh!

[ Bell ringing ]

I am a kitten.

I am a kitten.

I'm okay.

Got to take off.

Don't I wish.

I can't do it.

I can't hear you!

ALL:
Before helping

the people who love you,

put it on yourself.

This ain't your mama's house!

Questions?

None.

Got to take off.

Don't I wish.

[ Laughter ]

I am Sally Weston.

Muffin! [ Sighs ]

How long do dogs live?

I love being a turtle!

Like the Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Okay.

What did we learn?

Okay. Let me try it again.

[ Whistle blows ]

Okay, class,

what did Randy forget?

-Mary?

-Christine.

No.

Donna?

I know this.

Randy?

I forgot to buy him a drink?

[ Laughter ]

[ Whistle blows ]

And that is procedure.

Oh.

We are Royalty

as can be

We are Royalty

Safety is our policy

There's an oxygen mask

up above you

On a hidden shelf

Before helping the people

who love you

Put it on yourself

Use your seat belts,

Make it nice and tight

Take a look at the exits

They're up ahead

To your left and right

We are Royalty

Flying just as high

as can be

We are Royalty
