The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe doors finally open. Crew tell everyone to take only carry-ons, plus the blankets and pillows; checked bags stay in the hold. Nobody knows where they are being taken. Inside, Gander airport looks frozen in the Cold War: soldiers, forms, Citizenship, Purpose of your trip, Destination. One man is pulled aside. Pay phones overflow until staff fake an out-of-order sign to load the buses. Then the road is pitch-dark, and a pilot who has flown this sky a hundred times realizes how remote this island is.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageI'm looking out the window, trying to see where we are, but it is pitch-dark. Now, I have flown over this area hundreds and hundreds of times, and it is just darkness, hardly any lights anywhere. And now here I am. Oh, my God. This is just so remote!
我往窗外看,想弄清我们在哪儿, 可外面漆黑一片。 我飞过这片上空成百上千次了, 就是一片黑,几乎看不见灯。 可现在我人就在这儿。 我的天。这儿也太偏了!
