Stewardess: Another cookie, sir?
Brick: Oh, I shouldn't... But I will.
Sue: Okay, Brick. Mom says it's my turn to be rich now.
Brick: But I finally have something to read. I need to read, or I'm not gonna make it.
Sue: I'm not gonna make it if I have to spend another minute next to Axl. Come on. [to the businessman next to her] Hi. What you typing?

Frankie: Axl, is that Sue's diary? Give me that right now. These are Sue's personal and innermost thoughts and feelings. It says it right on the cover!
Axl: God. There's nothing to do here!

Pilot: [over PA] Sorry about that, folks. A winter storm is moving down from Canada and causing quite a bit of turbulence. We're gonna take this baby higher, see if we can't avoid that.
Mike: That's good. We're shaking apart, so let's go higher.

Frankie: Oh, I think I see it. Mike, it's New York! Kids, look, we're here, and it's snowing. New York in the snow. How lucky are we? This is gonna be the best trip ever!
Pilot: [over PA] Sorry, folks. Looks like the entire Eastern seaboard is socked in by the snowstorm. We're gonna be circling till they dig out the runway and give us clearance to land. Shouldn't be more than a couple hours.
Mike: [groans]
Frankie: Okay, Mike, try not to think about it. Just put your seat back and relax.
Mike: [seat barely budges] Oh, yeah. That's better.

Mike: Frankie. Frankie.
Frankie: Huh?
Mike: I lost Brick.

Frankie: It sounded like you said you lost Brick.
Mike: Yeah, I did.
Frankie: You lost Brick?
Mike: He's not in his seat, and he's not in the bathroom. I don't know where he is.
Frankie: Did you look everywhere?
Mike: Yes, I looked everywhere.
Frankie: Did you move stuff around?
Mike: Are you gonna help me or not?
Frankie: All right, but he better not be on this plane, 'cause if I go back there and find him, you are in big trouble!

Pilot: [over PA] Folks, I appreciate your patience. If you'll take your seats, I have an announcement about our landing.
Frankie: Oh, finally! New York, here we come! Okay. I know we've been off to a rocky start. We've all been a little cranky, but whoo-hoo! Our vacation is about to begin.
Pilot: [over PA] Due to this nasty weather, we're being diverted to the closest airport that's not snowed in. Pittsburgh. Which, coincidentally, is our featured city in this month's Horizons.

Mike: Great. It took us four times as long to get halfway where we needed to be.
Gate Attendant: [over PA] Attention passengers of flight 216. Unfortunately, no further flights will be leaving for Laguardia today. We do, however, have chartered buses standing by outside to drive you to the greater New York area.
Frankie: Did you hear that? How lucky are we? Come on. Let's go!
[Sue stops to fill in a "Win a Car" contest form]
Frankie: Sue, not now!
Sue: Darn!

Mike: Frankie, wait a minute.
Frankie: What are we doing? What do you mean? We're going to New York. Let's hurry, so we can get seats together.
Mike: Yeah, hold on. Hold on. We're closer to Indiana at this point. Maybe we should just go home.
Frankie: What? Why?
Mike: Because this trip so far has been a disaster, and I don't feel like driving for nine hours on a bus into a snowstorm.
Frankie: Well, you have to. You know, we're lucky. We were sitting on a couch, wishing for something exciting to happen, and it did! We won this trip! And now you just want to throw in the towel? You wanna just go back home, go back to that couch? There's a whole big world out there, Mike, and you are missing it!
Mike: I circled over it for eight hours. I've seen enough.

Axl: I'm with Dad. This trip blows. We should just go home. I'm drained from being nice to Sue.
Brick: Yes. Let's go home. All my books are there.
Sue: So that's it? I win a contest, probably the biggest thing to happen to me in my life... And now we're just gonna... gonna go home? Wow. Even when I win, I lose.
Axl: Do you know what? I kinda want to go to New York.
Sue: Really? Oh, Axl. You were actually nice to me!
Axl: Touch me, and the deal is off.
Sue: Oh. Brick?
Brick: Horizons says they have a library there.
Frankie: Mike?
Mike: Well, driving into a storm sounds like something we would do. Let's go to New York!
