116 : Going Down
Characters:
Woman
Boy
Girlfriend
Setting:
Airplane; Evening
A Boy sits next to Woman riding on a plan; the third seat next to Boy empty. As he writes in a notebook and she reads from a book, turbulence begins to set in. It remains for a while and the two look at each other but say nothing.
Pilot (v.o.): It appears we’ve lost power to the engines. Please remain calm. I’m sorry everyone.
Turbulence gets even worse and the two look at each other again and they grab each other and kiss. They continue to make out as the turbulence continues.
The plane slowly levels out as the two continue to kiss. Eventually, the plane stabilizes as Girlfriend walks in from the bathroom behind Boy. She clears her throat and Boy immediately stops kissing the Woman. He slowly looks up behind him and smiles nervously at his Girlfriend.
Boy: I know what you’re thinking, but… I totally thought we were going to die.
GF: Oh, you’re going to die alright.
Girlfriend sits down in her seat.
Boy: Believe me love when I say that I wish it were you I was kissing to my death.
Girlfriend puts her headphones on and closes her eyes.
Boy: Damnit.
Turbulence starts to kick up again.
