The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLocals take stranded passengers home for showers and spare rooms. Some guests flinch: are the "free" showers billed, or is this Norman Bates? Even at the mayor's house, a visitor wonders where to leave his wallet. An officer maps a two-to-three-day route of taxis, buses, and ferries. Beverley says planes cannot sit still. On a walk, Diane and Kevin trade details while staying wary; she then refuses a bar with three men she just met.

把陌生人请进家门说得像问要不要茶,礼貌到离谱。

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageWell… you take a taxi to the Goose. There's a bus there to Port aux Basques, leaves once a day. That's about six hours. Once you're there, you take the ferry across the gulf, right? That's eight hours or so. Then you catch another bus. Not sure how often they leave, but it's another eight hours to Yarmouth, where you can get another ferry to the US border. That's another four hours or so. And from Bar Harbor you should be able to grab a Greyhound to wherever you need to go. It's about two or three days' travel, but it's sure a nice view.
嗯……你打车去鹅湾。 那儿有巴士去巴斯克港,一天一班。大概六小时。 到了那儿,你坐轮渡过海峡,对吧? 大概八小时左右。 然后再赶上一班巴士。 不确定他们多久一班,但到雅茅斯还要八小时, 在那儿你可以再坐轮渡到美国边境。 大概再四小时左右。 从巴港你应该能搭上灰狗巴士 去你要去的任何地方。 大概要走两三天,不过风景绝对好看。
Planes aren't made to just sit on the tarmac. Planes are made to be in constant motion. They arrive, you switch crew, you switch passengers, you empty the Honey Buckets, and the plane keeps going. When they sit still for too long, well, it's not good for 'em. They start to break down.
飞机不是造来停在停机坪上的。 飞机是造来不停地飞的。 它们抵达,你换机组,换旅客, 倒掉马桶污水箱,飞机继续走。 它们要是停太久,嗯,对它们可不好。 它们就会开始出故障。
