" Bob and Marianne Taylor." "Yep." "They're regulars." "Yeah, well, I think I sort of erased their reservation." "I was never checked out on this system." "Did I mention I had a confirmed reservation?" "This is my receipt." "I downloaded it off the Internet myself." " l know, Mrs. Taylor, calm down." " Don't say that." "No..." " Calm down?" " She told me to calm down." "Don't tell us to calm down." "We've been very calm right up until now." " l'm so sorry." "Lisa?" " Cynthia, tell them one more minute," " they'll be happy, you promise."

" Your room hasn't been touched." " No, Dad." "Please, go nuts, make it into a gym or a putting green." "You know I can't do that." "You never know when you mightjust wanna spend a few nights back here." "You know?" "Make an escape from the day-to-day." "Day-to-day, it's where l thrive." "You know that." "Right." "So," " how's your mom holding' up?" " As good as can be expected." "You?" "What about you?" "You all right?" " Yep, I'm fine." " You sure?" "Everything's fine, Dad." "You're gonna have to start takin' my word for it." "Look, I gotta go. I gotta check in." "You sure you don't need a pickup?" " l thought you lost your wallet." " Leese, it's just five minutes."

"You're letting them go, but we've been standing for an hour?" "How does that happen?" "If we don't re-book, they miss their flight." "It doesn't matter that you canceled my flight then rerouted?" " l understand." " Get your boss." "This is ridiculous!" "Don't make her do that." "She's doing the best she can." "I don't think I was talking to you" " l realize that..." " l'm trying..." "Please, sir." "She is the one standing between us getting out and anarchy." " Yeah, but she's not the one in..." " She's exhausted, worked 18 hours, and she suspects we all hate her just as much as you do." "What do you say we give her a break?"

"No." "My grandmother died." "It's OK." "She was 91 ." " Ninety-one." " Yeah." "That's respectable." "What was her secret?" "Grape-Nuts." "And a guy named Duke." "Excuse me?" "Yeah, she said the Grape-Nuts kept her arteries clean and Duke helped with the rest." "Wow." "A dynamic woman." "Nothing fazed her, you know?" "She was so optimistic." ""Always look forward."" "That's what she'd say" " There ya go." " Thanks." "...heightened security measures are now in place." " That taste OK?" " lt's fine." "You sure?" "'Cause we can always get you that sea breeze."

" You OK?" " Yeah." " You sure?" "OK." " Yeah." "I'm not normally such a lightweight." "Those were strong bay breezes." "Well, I'm cutting you off anyways, all right?" "So..." "What are the odds?" "Yeah, I know." "Wait a minute." "You're not stalking me, are you?" "No." " You got me." " l'm sorry." " Oh, jeez." " You all right?" "If I say yes, are you gonna ask me if I'm sure?"

"He's got a lot of time on his hands so he makes phone calls." "OK." "He's filling all his work time with..." "Worry time." "Does he have reason to worry about you?" "Well, even if he does, I mean, he's just gotta get used to the fact that life changes and sometimes things happen." "I know what you mean." "Usually when things are going perfectly, you're back on track, everything's going to plan, and then one day, outta nowhere, somebody forgets to bolt the engine to the wing." "Yeah." "This is your captain." "We're through the worst of it, so you can relax." "Keep your seat belt fastened while seated, as we may hit more turbulence." "Thank you." " Thanks for distracting me." " Well, it's not really what I'm doing." "What are you doing?" "Just keeping the focus on you and your father." "Why?" "Part of my job." "Are you a shrink?" "No." "Manager." " Better not say of a hotel." " No." " That would..." " Cause you to buy a self-help book." "So, what do you do?" "Government overthrows, flashy high-profile assassinations." "The usual." " You're a spy. I should've known." " No, I'm not a spy." " A hit man." " l'm a lousy shot." "Right." "You work for the ClA." "Well, if I did, I couldn't say, could I?" " But, no." " The Mafia?" "The money's shit." "OK, well, that's kinda weird." " Why don't you tell me what you do?" " l did." "OK." "OK, I'm sorry, I... lt's..." "Whatever you do, that's your own business." "Just as long as you're not..." "What?" "Hijacking the plane." "No." "No, I'm not suicidal." "That's good." "You're right." "Most days it is my own business." "But right now, as fate would have it, my business is all about you." " l'm sorry, about me?" " That's right." "OK, I'm not sure where you're going with this." "Charles Keefe." "One of your regular VlPs." "Ring a bell?" " No, should it?" " Yes, it should." "He's on his way to your hotel and that's why you need to listen." "No." "No, I don't think..." " l don't have to do that." " Yes, you do, if you want your dad to live." " What did you say?" " You heard me." "Yeah." "Suit yourself." "You might wanna take a look at this." "JR." "Joe Reisert." "Your father?" "Yes?" " Where did you get that?" " l didn't get it." "My associate grabbed it off your dad's desk." "Apparently next to your graduation picture." "JR." "Definitely Dad's wallet." "His initials." "But gee, mine too." "Jack Rippner." "Credit card, license." ""For some reason, Miss Stewardess, this unstable, inebriated girl, whom I've never met before tonight, suddenly went crazy when I took it out of my pocket."" "You tell the flight attendant and your dad dies." "Sit down." "You might wanna buckle up." " Any luck?" " Our pensions go, then our coffeepots." "18-G's flashing." "Do you want me to...?" "I'll take care of it." "She probably just wants another drink." "Maybe I'll join her." " Hi." " Hi." " What can I do for ya?" " Leese, did you need another pillow or anything?" "No, I don't need anything." "She's just had a really rough day." "A death in the family." " l'm so sorry." " Yeah." " l'll get you water and some tissues." " Thanks." " Be right back." " Thank you." "That was great, Leese." "Keep doing the right thing." "Just bottle the emotions a little more, OK?" "Have you done something to my father?" "No." "And it'll stay that way as long as you keep playing along." "What do you want from me?" "Now, I wanna wait for your Kleenex and water." "And once we have our privacy, we can get back to business." " Here you go." " Thank you so much." " Sure." "Feel better, hon." " Thank you." "I need you to call your hotel." "It's very simple." "Just use your managerial pull to move Keefe from 3825 to suite 4080." "I'll leave the details to you." "You just sell it." "You've got the wrong person." "I don't have the authority to do that." "Well, I happen to know that you do." "You're the only voice that can get this done by the time I need it done." " You need me to write it down?" " No." "Well, then what's the delay?" "So by changing Keefe's room, does that make it easier?" "Lisa, whatever female-driven, emotion-based dilemma you're dealing with right now, you have my sympathy." "But for the sake of time and sanity, let's break this down into a little male-driven, fact-based logic." "One simple phone call saves your dad's life." "And it has to be made soon." "You're gonna kill Keefe, aren't you?" "You really need to start worrying more about your dad, Leese." "How am I supposed to know if he's OK?" "How do I know you haven't hurt him?" " He's fine." " Why am I supposed to believe?" "The last call I got said he was sitting in the TV room eating leftover lasagna and watching the comedy marathon." "Relax, Leese." "By now my guy is probably back in his silver Beemer, parked outside 9321 Blossom Palms Lane." "He's sitting in the dark, listening to a little smooth jazz, while he sharpens his 12-inch KA-BAR." "That's a knife, Leese." " l wanna talk to my dad." " Sure." "After you make the call." "No. I wanna know he's OK right now or I don't call anybody." "Your dime." "Credit card?" "Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned off the fasten seat belt sign." "You're free to move about the cabin." "Stay tuned for more of the comedy marathon following these messages." "I'm comin', I'm comin'!" "God." " Hello?" " Dad?" "Leese?" "Are you already home?" "No, I'm on the air phone on the plane." "We were late taking off and..." "Honey, I know you don't like it when I ask, but are you all right?" "You sound upset." "Leese?" "Leese?" "Are you still there?" "Did he sound healthy to you?" "I hope that's a yes, because that's the best I can do." "Now let's get this over with." "Excuse me. I'm sorry." "Can you help me again?" "Last time, I promise." "Sure." "Don't get cute." " You're so sweet." " Hello, again." "You know, I didn't think that this book would be so much work." "There's all these surveys about yourself before you can go on to the rest..." "Could you wait one second?" " Sure." " My nails." "Know what?" "Don't worry about the surveys. I'll just..." " l'll just highlight my favorite part." " Wonderful." " Got it." " Great." " You are a lifesaver." " Yep." "Would you gimme your address too?" "I wanna return the favor." "I'm always breaking my nails on these things." "I'm gonna need you to help me put it back up." " Clear the aisle." " We're on a collision course." " l'll come back for that later." " No." "Here you go." " Last time?" " Thank you." "OK." " Sorry I'm..." "I'm blocking your seat." " Not at all." " Excuse us, ma'am." " l'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." ""l 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 favor, 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." " l'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 backup 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." "So, what happens if they don't start working?" "You bury your dad in a closed casket." "Well, gang, brace yourselves, 'cause 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." "And 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." " l 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 communiques." "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 favor 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 fucking sea breeze." "I can't breathe. I can't breathe." "I never lied to you, Leese." "Know why?" "'Cause it doesn't serve me." "We're both professional." "We have the will and the means to follow through." "'Cause when we don't, our customers aren't happy." "And when they're not, we suffer and our lives go to shit." "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."

"And then I walk outta your life." "Once I'm outta your line of sight, I'll call off Mr. Killer from outside Dad's and then you're free." "Free to yell and scream, call your dad, tell him to run to the neighbor's." "Sound good?" "Whatever you say." "What, no questions?" "What good have they done me so far?"
