• Tod Waggner : Alex. Let's go take a shit.

  Alex Browning : Take a shit by yourself.

  Tod Waggner : No, dude. Listen okay. Listen. Take some knowledge. We're about to board a seven hour flight. The toilets in coach are barely ventilated closets. Alright, if that. Now lets say half way through the flight, right, your body wants that airplane food out. You got to go torque a wicked cable. Then directly after you, walks in Christa or Blake.

  [Alex and Tod look at Christa and Blake, who are sitting down reading magazines] 

  Tod Waggner : You want them to associate you with that watery sting in their eye? That reflexive gag at the back of their throat?

• Clear Rivers : This gives me a rush!

  Alex Browning : What? This place?

  Clear Rivers : Doing something I'm not supposed to.

• Alex Browning : [describing his premonition]  I saw it. Like, I don't know I just saw it. I saw it on the runway, I saw it take off. I saw out my window. I saw the ground. And the cabin starts to shake, right? And the left side blows up and the whole plane just explodes! And it was so real, just how everything happens, you know?

  Tod Waggner : You've been on a lot of planes that blew up?

  Val Lewton : You must have fallen asleep.

• Alex Browning : [in the Carter's car with him, Clear, and Billy]  You think it's gonna make it easier to know, Carter?

  [Everyone looks at him] 

  Alex Browning : It's not. It's gonna make it fuckin' harder.

• Alex Browning : Ms. Lewton, I...

  Val Lewton : [interrupts]  Don't talk to me, you scare the Hell outta me.

• Alex Browning : You should be fucking dead!

  Carter : Well, you're the fucking devil!

• Carter : [mocking Alex]  The plane, it's gonna blow up. It's gonna blow up!

  Tod Waggner : Hey, fuck you, Horton, okay? Fuck you!

  Val Lewton : Tod!

  Alex Browning : The only trip you're taking is to the fucking *hospital*!

  [He attacks Carter and they start to fight] 

• Alex Browning : [looking at Tod in the funeral home]  Is that him?

  Clear Rivers : I think so. Why did they make him look like Michael Jackson?

• [Having just been jolted out of his premonition, Alex is wild-eyed and hyperventilating as he verifies that the tray table latch is broken, which means his vision was real] 

  Flight Attendant : Is there a a problem, sir?

  Carter : What's your fuckin' problem?

  Mr. Larry Murnau : [Speaking in French]  What is it?

  Alex Browning : [screaming]  This fuckin' plane's gonna explode!

• Clear Rivers : When I was a kid, like six or seven, I used to worry so much about my parents dying. Lying awake at night, just worrying.

  Alex Browning : Most kids do, I guess.

  Clear Rivers : Most kids never have it happen.

• Alex Browning : There's this pattern that's emerging.

• Alex Browning : We're all on the same list.

• Clear Rivers : Almost autumn.

  Alex Browning : It's only the end of June.

  Clear Rivers : Yeah, but everything's always in transition. If you focus, even now, just one week into summer, you can almost feel autumn coming.

  Clear Rivers : [turns toward Alex] 

  Clear Rivers : Kinda like being able to see the future.

• Clear Rivers : [gesturing toward artwork]  Do you know what this is?

  Alex Browning : This is... this is springy head guy.

  Clear Rivers : It's you Alex, and how you make me feel.

  Alex Browning : I'm sorry.

• Alex Browning : [yelling at Death]  You tried to capitalize but I caught you, you fuck! Yeah, I can beat you. Not forever, but I've got this cabin rigged to beat you now!

• Carter : Well, we made it.

  Clear Rivers : Paris, I can't believe it.

  Alex Browning : I just can't believe we got on a plane again, you know what I'm saying?

• Alex Browning : I got this feeling... a weird feeling.

• Alex Browning : I won't let it happen, okay?

• Flight Attendant : We will remove you from this aircraft!

  Alex Browning : Fuck you! I'll remove myself!

• Alex Browning : I saw it happen!

• Carter : [Alex and Carter are fighting in the airport boarding area]  You're paying for my trip, Browning.

  Alex Browning : I wish you were on that plane!

  Billy Hitchcock : [In the distance, the plane has exploded and the shock wave shatters the glass in the boarding area]  OH SHIT!

• [With cups of coffee, Alex and Clear sit down at a Espresso shop corner table] 

  Alex Browning : The mortician said that Death has a design. Okay. I'm talking about omens. How do we know that just by sitting here - by, by sipping this coffee, or breathing the air, or even crossing the intersection - that we haven't even started in motion the events that will some day lead to our death: forty years from now, ten years from now, tomorrow. We don't. Unless we open ourselves up...

  Alex Browning : [as Clear glances nervously at the intersection, Alex draws from his pocket the tiny slice of paper that reads "Tod" and slides it across the table to her] 

  Alex Browning : ...to the signs that It's willing to show us?

  Clear Rivers : I don't understand. Did you see Tod die? Did it happen again, like on the plane?

  Alex Browning : [shaking his head]  No. No, it didn't, but, I mean, it might as well have. This is a message from something, Clear, or someone - hinting at a design.

  Clear Rivers : Total bullshit. I mean, you can find death omens anywhere you want to.

  [Alex glances at the window of the Espresso shop and sees the ghostly reflection of a bus passing by. As she continues to talk, ominous music rises and Alex glances worriedly around the streets] 

  Clear Rivers : Coffee. Starts with a C and ends with an E. So does the word "choke." So, what, we're going to choke to death? I wanna hear you.

  [Alex glances anxiously over his shoulder again] 

  Clear Rivers : We'll go nuts if you start with this shit.

  Alex Browning : The mortician said that Death has a design. Right? Now, what if you, me, Tod, Carter, Terry, Billy, Ms. Lewton messed up that design. For whatever reason, I saw Death's plan. We cheated him. But what if it was our time? What if we were not meant to get off that plane? What if it still is our time? If it is, then it's not finished, and we will die - now, not later - unless, unless we find the patterns and cheat It again.

  [Behind Alex's back, Carter drives his car up to the intersection and waits for the light. Terry is sitting next to him. Carter glances over to see Alex and Clear; he scowls. Terry smiles at Carter, then sees them too, and her smile fades, as though fearful of a confrontation] 

  Clear Rivers : After hearing you, I, I do believe...

  [Alex smiles] 

  Clear Rivers : ...that Tod killed himself.

  [Alex's face turns serious] 

• Alex Browning : What if there is a design?
