The story so far
Everything you need before watchingGander is putting stranded passengers on buses. A local driver sells the island on the ride: its odd time zone, the airport that once hosted Sinatra and the Beatles, a moose that owns the road. Nick slides in beside Diane and overshares about heart pills; she will not discuss the husband still flying. At a Salvation Army camp they freeze in their seats until he opens a Bible they cannot read—and points to a verse number both sides share.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageFinally, out of the darkness, my bus arrives at the Salvation Army camp. We pass through a large gate, and the bus pulls to a stop. And through the windows, out there in the darkness, we see all these people coming out of the buildings. Now, we rarely use 'em, but everyone's dusted off their Salvation Army uniforms to welcome these people. There are soldiers everywhere. The man at the front opens the door. I say, "Here you are. Out you go." But he's not moving. None of 'em are. But then I notice his wife, well, she's clutching a Bible. Now, obviously, I can't read it. But their Bible, it'll have the same number system ours does. So I ask… to see it. And I'm searching for something here. And that's how we started speaking the same language.
终于,从黑暗里钻出来,我的巴士到了救世军营地。 我们穿过一扇大门,巴士停住了。 透过车窗,外面那片黑暗里, 我们看见这些人从楼里走出来。 其实我们很少穿这身, 但大家都把救世军制服翻出来掸了掸灰 来迎接这些人。 到处都是士兵。 最前面那个男人打开了车门。 我说:「到了。下车吧。」 可他不动。他们谁都不动。 然后我注意到他妻子,她怀里攥着一本圣经。 很显然,我读不懂。 但他们的圣经,编号系统和我们的是一样的。 于是我开口……借来看看。 我在这里面找一段话。 我们就这样开始说同一种语言。
