      You're only human. You got it bad. I heard some of the conversation you two sparked up on the bus. It was magical. I love those moments. Don't you?

      THE GUY SMILES.

      CLARISSA

      What's your name?

      BUS GUY

      Stanley.

      CLARISSA

      What flight are you getting, Stan? Can I call you that?

      BUS GUY

      Yes. Sure. US 12. To JFK.

      CLARISSA

      Excellent. Me too. My name's Clarissa. You have to check-in, yeah?

      THE GUY STANDS UP. CLARISSA RISES ALSO.

      BUS GUY

      Oh God! I forgot! Am I too late?

      CLARISSA

      We'll make it. Let's go. It's terminal one.

      CLARISSA AND STANLEY RUSH OFF. THE CAMERA RUNS ALONGSIDE THEM, TRYING HARD TO STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY.

      BUS GUY

      Her ticket! I forgot to give it to her!

      CLARISSA

      Your girlfriend? Your ex?

      BUS GUY

      Yeah . . . but I don't really want to see her . . . I'm not chasing her . . .

      CLARISSA

      No. You're running with me. This is serendipity Stanley. You and I were meant to meet. And those two girls were meant to lose their seats on this flight because Emily - my friend - and I . . . we need them. God works in mysterious ways.

      BUS GUY

      Really? You haven't got tickets yet?

      CLARISSA

      We will. We're paying double.

      BUS GUY

      Thank you Clarissa. Wait - here's one . . .

      HE HANDS CLARISSA HIS EX'S TICKET.

      CLARISSA

      Keep it for now. In case she turns up.

      CLARISSA HOLDS STANLEY'S HAND.

      CLARISSA

      But if she doesn't then you're riding with us. That cool?

      BUS GUY

      That's amazing. You're amazing.

      THE CAMERA SPINS AROUND. IT SURVEYS THE SCENE; LEFT, THEN RIGHT, SEARCHING FOR EMILY OR THE GUY WHO SHOULD BE BRINGING THE PIZZA. IT'S MINUS 5 NOW.

      THE CAMERA TRIES TO RUN TOWARD CONCOURSE BUT STUMBLES AND FALLS.

      HECTIC.

      (EMILY, RUNNER)

      EMILY LEAVES A NEWSAGENT, JUST IN TIME TO LOCK EYES WITH THE RUNNER - THE "PIZZA-DELIVERY BOY" WHO CLARISSA ASKED TO RETRIEVE A PIZZA. SHE SMILES. HE STOPS.

      EMILY

      She likes things done fast.

      RUNNER

      Oh. Hey. You're one of the girls I need to get this to.

      EMILY

      Well, no. You gotta get it to the other one - Clarissa. And now . . .

      EMILY WINKS.

      EMILY

      You're gonna have to beat me if you want an extra ten bucks.

      RUNNER

      Really?

      EMILY TAKES OFF TOWARD TERMINAL ONE.

      RUNNER

      You got it.

      "PIZZA BOY" STARTS RUNNING. THE CAMERA APPEARS TO NOD. IT GLANCES UP AND THEN DOWN LIKE IT'S A HORSE WAITING TO RUN. IT APPEARS TO SHRUG AND THEN TAKES OFF AFTER THE RUNNER, EMILY HELD FIRMLY IN ITS PERIPHERAL GAZE.

      INT. SALT LAKE CITY - AIRPORT - DAY

      (CLARISSA, KATY)

      KATY - THE WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER - HANDS CLARISSA HER TWO BOARDING PASSES.

      CLARISSA

      Thank you so much, Katy. Have a great day.

      KATY

      It was a pleasure meeting you Clarissa. You and your friend have a safe flight. She'll be here in a minute, right? I certainly can't ask them to hold the flight.

      CLARISSA

      She'll be here. So will my pizza.

      CLARISSA TURNS TO STANLEY - THE BUS GUY.

      CLARISSA

      How exciting. It's minus one minute. We're waiting for Emily and the boy with my pizza. Any second now they'll appear. Now, we're hoping Emily arrives first because I haven't got any spare notes to give the guy for . . . and I promised him an extra twenty.

      THE CAMERA APPEARS TO JUMP UP AND DOWN WITH EXCITEMENT. IT'S VERY RESTLESS, AND MOVING ABOUT, ANXIOUS. IT PEERS LEFT, THEN RIGHT . . . WE NOTICE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DROP OF SWEAT RUNNING DOWN THE LENS. IT WANTS TO MOVE BUT IT CAN'T - IT NEEDS TO STAY BY CLARISSA'S SIDE.
