Some people spend their days crammed inside shoulder to shoulder with nothing to do but watch the news and wait for something to happen
[COMPANY]
On the edge
[BEULAH, spoken]
We've got the TV's going 24/7 in the cafeteria. The more they watch the more scared and angry they get
[COMPANY]
On the edge of the-
[OZ, spoken]
Some of the Plane People haven't slept in 3 days. None of us have either, and we're jumping at our own shadows
[COMPANY]
On the edge of the world
[BEULAH, spoken]
Around suppertime on Thursday, people are waiting to use the phones and there's a fight in the hallway
[ALI speaking in Arabic on the phone]
[PASSENGER 11, spoken]
Hey, hey! What the hell you sayin'?
[Ali, spoken]
I beg your pardon?
[Passenger 11, spoken]
You celebrating this? You praying for your friends?
[ALI speaking in Arabic on the phone]
[PASSENGER 11, spoken]
Why doesn't he speak English?
[ALI, spoken]
Excuse me?
[PASSENGER 8, spoken]
You telling your Muslim friends where to bomb next?
[ALI, spoken]
This was not all Muslims! And I was not-
[PASSENGER 11, spoken]
Go back where you came from!
[WOMAN, spoken]
I'm Muslim and I was born in Connecticut. I'm an American citizen!
[PASSENGER 11, spoken]
You don't look American!
[WOMAN, spoken]
What does that even mean?!
[All scream randomly]
[COMPANY]
On the edge of the world or wherever we are
We are, we are, we are on the edge
Is there something, I need to do something
To keep me from thinking of all those scenes on the tube
I need something to do, cause I can't watch the news
No I can't watch the news anymore
On the edge
[CLAUDE, spoken]
FAA keeps delaying opening the airspace, and here on the ground we're dealing with a whole mess of other problems

[BEVERLEY, spoken]
Some of the planes are parked on a runway where the surface is all torn up. That debris gets into an engine and they'll never leave
[COMPANY]
On the edge of the world
[CLAUDE, spoken]
One of the big planes, a triple 7, is sinking into the asphalt
If we don't do something, she'll be stuck here forever
[COMPANY]
On the edge of the world or wherever we are
We are, we are, we are on
We are, we are, we are, we are on the edge!
[JANICE, spoken]
I interview a woman from Queens, a mother. Her son's a firefighter and they still can't account for him. She starts crying, and I start crying too, and I can't stop shaking. I don't want to do this anymore.
[BEVERLEY, spoken]
I check in with air traffic control again and it's more bad news: not only is the airspace still closed, but there's a storm headed for Newfoundland. Hurricane Erin is making landfall tomorrow or the day after. If we don't get these planes in the air soon, no one's going anywhere
[OZ, spoken]
Claude, people are starting to crack
[CLAUDE, spoken]
Let's get everyone down to the Legion
[KEVIN T, spoken]
Everyone's going down to the Legion for a drink
[KEVIN J, spoken]
Hi, have you seen my boyfriend? His name is Kevin. He's about this tall and he's lost his mind.
[KEVIN T, spoken]
I just want to go out!
[KEVIN J, spoken]
Well, I don't
[KEVIN T, spoken]
Well, I'm not going without you
[KEVIN J, spoken]
Well, I'm not staying for a long time
[KEVIN T, spoken]
One drink?
[KEVIN J, spoken]
One drink
[BEULAH, spoken]
Hannah, everyone's going out tonight.
[HANNAH, spoken]
You go on without me, Beulah. I need to wait by the phone.
[BEULAH, spoken]
...I'll wait with you.
[BEVERLEY, spoken]
I keep waiting to hear from the airline, so I'll just be here by the phone, Tom, if the kids want to speak with me.
[DOUG, spoken]
Bonnie, I know you're not leaving the animals, so I brought you some chili. But I really think that tonight you should come home and get some sleep.
[BONNIE, spoken]
Doug! Oh my, get in here! We are about to have the first rare bonobo chimpanzee born in Newfoundland!
[CLAUDE, spoken]
Beulah, they need some food down at the Legion, if you can spare any.
[ALI, spoken]
Miss Beulah, please let me help with the food!
[BEULAH, spoken]
No, m'love, you’re a guest!
[ALI, spoken]
Please! I am a master chef for an international hotel chain. I oversee restaurants around the world. I would like to help with the food!
[BEULAH, spoken]
Get in there!
[DIANE, spoken]
Everyone's going out to the bar, and Nick is going...
[NICK, spoken]
I'm going if Diane is going
[DIANE, spoken]
And I think, nobody here knows me! I can be whoever I want to be!
[BOB, spoken]
I'm not worried about my wallet
I'm not worried about getting shot
I am a little worried about how much Irish whiskey I'm drinking...
