Costume Party [Kevin T, Hannah, Diane & Kevin J]

[Janice]

3: 45 A.M. overnight, the community's population has gone

From approximately 9, 000 to 16, 000

I'm sure barely any of us have slept tonight. We're hopeful

That our visitors will be back in the air come morning

[Kevin T]

I woke up from this dream which I can't quite remember

But there was this music in it that I'd heard somewhere before

[Kevin J]

I woke up from a dream that we were stuck in some backwater Canadian town

And that my air mattress deflated

[Bob]

I woke up to the smell of

Freshly baked bread?

[Annette]

4am in Newfoundland is breakfast time in Germany

And we got a lot of passengers here from Frankfurt

So breakfast starts at 4am and we start scrambling eggs

[Bob]

Poached eggs, scrambled eggs, omelettes

[Diane]

Fried Bologna

[Nick]

Something called toutons

[Kevin T]

I saw a casserole dish I don't think I could lift

[Bob]

They made enough food to feed 7, 000 people

It's like they never slept

[Beulah]

There's this one man from the Middle East

Well, we don't really know

Hasn't said a word to a soul

And some of the other passengers seem a bit wary of him

So it's a little odd to find him poking around the kitchen

[Ali]

Hello

[Beulah]

Hello

Can I help you with something?

[Ali]

I would like to be of assistance

With the food

[Beulah]

Oh, no. That's not necessary

[Ali]

But I am

[Beulah]

Really?

You go out there and sit down

[Claude]

I've been going all night, but I can't stop

None of us can

I splash some cold water on my face and just keep going

We've got 7, 000 scared and angry people who don't want to be here

And they're about to wake up

[Diane]

In a crowded room

Filled with strangers sleeping

[Kevin T]

An airplane blanket

And pillow on the floor

[Diane]

The Sun comes streaming

Through the window

[Kevin T and Diane]

And I can't sleep anymore

[Kevin J]

Staring at these strangers

Waking up around me

[Hannah]

Sitting in a crowd of people

Waiting for the phone

[Kevin J]

And in a town that's suddenly

Doubled population

[Kevin T, Hannah, Diane and Kevin J]

I feel so alone

[Kevin J]

It's like any of us could have died

On Tuesday

[Kevin T]

And like we're dared to see things

Differently today

[Diane]

I'm feeling different

[Hannah]

Distant

[Kevin J]

Strange

[Kevin T]

Who are these people here?

[Hannah]

Where am I?

[Diane]

No one knows me here

[Kevin T, Hannah, Diane and Kevin J]

Who am I if I don't feel like

The me from yesterday

[Nick]

I wake up in a crowded room full of people sleeping on the floor

And I see Diane and ask, are we leaving?

[Diane]

Any time now

[Nick]

Is your hair different? I mean

You look good

I like it

[Diane]

Hm! Thank you

No shampoo for three days

[Kevin T]

They start handing out clothes to anyone who needs them

[Kevin J]

I haven't changed my clothes in thirty-nine hours

[Bob]

I wanted to burn my socks

[Kevin J]

Kevin puts on this plaid thing

He says he's incognito and that he's going to blend in with the natives

But he just looks like a gay lumberjack

[Diane]

Changing into another woman's

Donated set of clothes

[Kevin T]

Looking different

Feeling kind of different too

[Diane]

I can't quite explain

[Kevin T]

But when I woke

[Diane]

When David wasn't on that plane

[Kevin T and Diane]

It's like I changed into somebody else

But who?

And it's somehow like we're at a costume party

[Kevin T]

And for a second you are not yourself

[Diane]

You are not yourself

[Kevin T]

And you look around

And blink your eyes

[Diane]

And barely even recognize

[Kevin T and Diane]

The person in the mirror who's

Turned into someone else

[Kevin J]

Hey Little Sister -

Yeah, still here where they eat rainbows for breakfast

Are you taking care of mom?

No, I just wish I was home

No, not LA., Brooklyn

Shut up

You're such a brat

No, I just needed to hear your voice

[Beulah]

Excuse me?

Are you Hannah?

[Hannah]

Yeah, that's me

[Beulah]

My name's Beulah, someone told me your son's a firefighter

Yeah, mine is too

Here in town

And I know Gander's not New York but

Is there anything I can do?

[Hannah]

No, I just need to hear from my son

[Beulah]

I understand

[Hannah]

Praying for a phone call

[Kevin J]

Praying for a way home

[Hannah and Kevin J]

Asking questions

[Kevin J]

Asking can I get back on that Godforsaken plane?

[Hannah]

And all around me, people chat

[Kevin J]

And people snack

[Hannah and Kevin J]

Like nothing's happened

And I need to hear we're going back

Before I go insane

[Beverley]

Good morning

I'm Captain Bass

I've just heard from the airline

Now I know this is going to be hard to hear

But the American airspace remains closed

I can't tell you how long we'll be on the ground

But, we are gonna be here for some time

[Diane]

Here for some time

[Kevin J]

Here for some time

[Hannah]

Here for too long

[Kevin T]

Here for how long

[Kevin J]

When will we know

[Actors 4, 5, 6, 7, 11]

When will we know

[Company]

How much longer?

[Hannah]

Beulah, wait

Can you help me find a Catholic church?

[Diane]

I can't sit here

I need to get some air

[Kevin T]

Let's go see where we are

The Sun's out

It'll do you good

[Kevin J]

Seriously? You know what, go get lost in the woods

I'm going to be ready when we leave

[Hannah and Kevin J]

And it's somehow like we're stuck

Here at a messed up costume party

[Diane and Kevin J]

And there's nothing here familiar

[Hannah and Kevin J]

Far away from those you care for

[Kevin T, Hannah, Diane and Kevin J]

On an isolated island in between

There and here

[All]

There and here
