Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій

Narrator: December 20th is the worst day of the year to travel through John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Narrator: Over 193,000 passengers arrive and depart that day, causing, on average, 23-minute delays at check-in and a peak wait time of 117 minutes at security.

Narrator: But of all the passengers inconvenienced on this inconvenient day, it is the story of only one that matters. Because today, that passenger is late.

Hadley: Excuse me.

Man: Whoa, whoa.

Hadley: Oh. Sorry. Sorry!

Narrator: Hadley Sullivan is about to miss her flight to London by four minutes.

Hadley: Wait! Please, I'm here.

Agent: Uh, sorry, miss. You're too late.

Narrator: There are 367 souls aboard flight TA-5120. 412 pieces of luggage, 344 personal items, 4 emotional support animals, and 62 neck pillows.

Narrator: Together, these passengers will travel for 6 hours and 47 minutes, all without Hadley.

Narrator: Some might say it's bad luck to miss one's flight by four minutes. Or you might prefer to think that everything happens for a reason.

Narrator: But for Hadley, those four minutes won't be unlucky at all. Because very soon, a girl and a boy will meet, and it will change everything.


Narrator: The girl is Hadley Ella Sullivan. Twenty years old, 65 inches tall. She's late 21% of the time, which is coincidentally the average battery life of her cell phone.

Agent: The best thing we can do is get you on the next flight. There are two seats left, both in business.

Hadley: When does that leave?

Agent: Hour and a half. Arrives in London at 9:55 a.m.

Hadley: My dad's wedding is at noon.

Agent: Do you need to think about it?

Hadley: Okay, yeah. One business-class ticket to London, please. Thank you. Thanks. Sorry.

Girl: Oh. It's dead. So that's why it's open.

Hadley: Of course it is. Never mind. Nothing. Thank you.

P.A.: Boarding announcement for flight AI-3670

Oliver: You can borrow mine if you want.
