there who would absolutely love to have a child. It's like - if we think of ourselves as one big family and we just share things . . . then that would be so nice.
EMILY
Yeah - and if we're getting political here then think about our carbon footprint. All those in power need to tread lightly because sooner or later the little people - or little feet so to speak - may accuse them - rightly - of legal negligence and take them to court [2.] [3.]. Because those in power should be doing something right now . . . but fuck all was achieved at the climate talks in Durban [4.]. But we're all entangled so the little feet can tap away and justice will be served. Ha ha.
ROBYN
And if people work together . . . we can make it to Mars. We need hundreds of billions of dollars [8.] . . . but if people worked for free . . . or something other than cash . . .
CLARISSA
Such as . . . love. Who doesn't want love?
EMILY
So simple. Why doesn't daddy let you run the world, Clarissa?
CLARISSA
Women in positions of power. That's pretty much unheard of . . . in Utah at least. Maybe one day.
BUS GUY
Wait. Who is your dad anyway? Someone special.
CLARISSA
Not yet. He will be. Maybe.
A FLIGHT ATTENDANT IS PUSHING A CART DOWN THE AISLE. SHE STOPS IN BETWEEN ROBYN AND THE REST OF THE GANG.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Can I get you all anything to drink?
CLARISSA
Anything that tastes like honey?
EMILY LAUGHS.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
No. Sorry.
CLARISSA
Then I'll have water please.
EMILY
Me too.
CLARISSA
You don't have any anchovies on the plane, do you?
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
No. I'm afraid not.
CLARISSA
Worth a try.
CLARISSA AND EMILY TAKE THEIR GLASSES.
CLARISSA HOLDS HERS UP.
CLARISSA
To honeybee.
EMILY SMILES AND DOES THE SAME, THEN TOUCHES HER GLASS TO CLARISSA'S.
EMILY
To honeybee.

INT. US 12 FLIGHT 453 - DAY
(CLARISSA, EMILY, ROBYN, BUS GUY)
STILL IN THE SEATS, WE'RE SEEING THE FOUR MATES CHATTING. EMILY HAS HER TRAY DOWN. IN HER HAND IS A LEAD PENCIL AND SHE'S SKETCHING SOMETHING WE CAN'T QUITE SEE. CLARISSA GLANCES AT STANLEY'S BAG.
CLARISSA
What? You've got a guitar in there?
BUS GUY
A small one. Yeah.
ROBYN
How did you fit a guitar in there?
CLARISSA
Well, you're playing it. Now.
BUS GUY
No. I'm not good. I don't sing. I just play . . . but I'm really not good.
CLARISSA
What's your favorite song to play? Think quick. Best song.
BUS GUY
Um . . .
STANLEY LOOKS AROUND.
BUS GUY
Can I play on the plane?
CLARISSA
What song? Come on.
BUS GUY
I like "I'm Yours [2.]" by Jason Mraz. Have you heard of it?
CLARISSA
Who hasn't? Beautiful. And I just happen to know the lyrics. Go on.
BUS GUY
Really?
CLARISSA LOOKS AROUND.
CLARISSA
Is there anyone here who doesn't love "I'm Yours [2.]" by Jason Mraz?
A FEW PEOPLE CLAP.
CLARISSA NODS.
CLARISSA
Then all is good. Get the guitar out of that bag.
STANLEY SMILES. HE UNZIPS A SMALL SATCHEL AND PULLS OUT A TINY GUITAR - NO MORE THAN A METER IN LENGTH.
HE LOOKS AROUND.
CLARISSA PLACES A HAND ON STANLEY'S BACK.
HE BEGINS TO STRUM; "I'M YOURS [2.]", HITTING THE CHORDS JUST RIGHT.
AND CLARISSA BEGINS TO SING, PITCH PERFECT.
EMILY SMILES AND CONTINUES
