The first 200 lines.
Come on, everybody!
The museum is closing!
Buses hit the road in five minutes!
You too, Chloe.
Yeah, be right there.
Hello?
Mr. Halligan?
Hello, I'm still in here.
Hello?
Is anybody in here?
I'm locked in!
Do you realize this will be the first Christmas
I haven't been alone since mom and dad died?
I just wish your job didn't make you move so far away.
In all fairness, I did ask the baby to come
before the holiday rush.
What do you know, the little guy's stubborn.
Takes after his momma.
Takes after his aunt is more like it.
Now what time are you getting here?
You mean if I get there.
What are you talking about?
Haven't you seen the weather reports?
They're calling it the biggest blizzard
in the past five years.
Oh, please!
Everything's the biggest everything these days.
Don't you know the news makes their money on gloom and doom?
Well, I just got to the airport.
Travel safe, okay?
I'm sure he'll wait until you get here.
He better, or else he can forget about
any Christmas presents from Auntie Aubrey.
Love you, sis.
Love you.
Santa will be delivering presents
to all those good boys and girls tonight.
She'll make it.
It's best that you just stay at home.
Will you help me with this please?
- Mm-hmm. - Thank you.
Welcome.
Welcome aboard.
Hi.
Excuse me, would you mind?
Oh, no, of course not.
Here.
Move.
Move.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I know I packed too much.
My husband tells me so all the time.
I don't quite know what to pack for.
I guess this time I should've packed for snow.
Did you know that they said this is supposed
to be the biggest blizzard in five years?
Uh-huh.
I was afraid that they would cancel the flights.
Then what?
Mm, that's what I get for trying to fly on Christmas Eve.
Flight attendants, please prepare for takeoff.
At least I have someone to talk to the whole flight.
I mean, there is nothing more dreadful
than being stuck in one of these things
with no one to talk to.
Mm-hmm.
My, I can talk all the way to Chicago.
I've never been crazy about flying
ever since I was a little girl.
I don't know if it's the height
or the fact that I'm putting my life
in the hands of some pilot I didn't know.
Aubrey, it's perfectly reasonable
to find flying uncomfortable.
I was suppose to be with my parents that Christmas.
All I had to do was fly to Denver,
a two-and-a-half hour flight,
but I couldn't even do that.
It was an accident.
Nothing about you being there
would've made any difference.
You don't know that.
There's no guarantee the outcome
would've been any different.
"Nothing would've changed.
"There's no guarantee the outcome"
"would've been different."
Get a hold of yourself.
This is your captain speaking.
We're approaching a pretty big storm system up ahead,
so we're going to ask everyone to return to their seats.
Perfect.
Um, ma'am, can I have you get...
Sit down, I know.
I'm going. I'm going.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please return all arm rests and tray tables
to their upright position.
Come on.
Don't like kids?
Don't like flying.
One day you'll be a mother.
You'll understand.
What was that?
Sir, can you get in your seat belt please?
Thank you. - Ladies and gentlemen,
due to severe weather conditions across the Midwest,
we will be diverting and taking an early landing.
We apologize for any inconvenience,
and we'll do our utmost to ensure
you reach your final destination
as soon as it is safe.
You hear that.
It'll all be over soon and everything will be okay.
You'll see.
The winter storm warning
we've been tracking across the Midwestern United States
is now in full swing, and unfortunately...
Excuse me.
Continue to worsen.
That Christmas travel is taking a huge hit.
Whoops, excuse me.
Flight cancellations
from Wisconsin to Nebraska.
We're getting word that still accumulations
are now up to six to eight inches per hour.
- Watch it! - I'm so sorry.
I'm...
Ba humbug to you too.
We've been waiting forever.
How much longer?
There's nothing you can do?
The whole Midwest has been grounded.
Please, it's very important we get out of here tonight.
It's Christmas Eve.
A lot of people would love
to be getting out of here tonight,
but the airline doesn't control the weather.
Sir, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop that.
I apologize for my husband.
Will you at least get us a room?
I'm sorry, we don't have enough hotel rooms
for everybody, and the crews take priority.
I'm sorry.
We'd like to speak to your supervisor.
This is a regional airport.
I'm the only one working this late at night,
and your flight was the last one we're expecting.
Hey!
I'm sorry.
Hey, you broke my phone!
Hey, I'm talking you!
Ma'am! Ma'am!
Something wrong?
Yeah, that guy broke my phone.
You're saying he took the phone
out of your hand and smashed it?
No, he bumped into me, and it fell.
So it was an accident.
Excuse me.
You dropped it.
Because he bumped into me.
Ma'am, it's Christmas Eve.
How about a little
personal responsibility, hmm?
Just forget it.
Excellent idea.
Jerk.
When it rains, it pours, huh?
Sure hope I can help you.
My sister's due like any minute,
and I need to get to Chicago
as soon as possible.
I'm sure you've heard everything's been grounded
because of the storm.
I know.
I guess, I'm hoping there's something you can do.
I have a 6:30 a.m. to O'Hare with one seat left?
Yes, please.
Just let me make a quick adjustment.
Your new boarding pass.
Your flight boards at six from Gate A3.
And did I hear there are no more rooms?
I wish I could help, really.
But,
I can offer you a free meal voucher.
What I really need is a new phone.
There's a store in the terminal.
I'm sure they'll be able to help.
Great. Thanks.
By the way, congratulations.
You'll be a great aunt.
Merry Christmas.
You stuck here?
What's that?
I said "stuck here?"
Yeah.
Which one of these is supposed to be good?
None of them.
