走廊起冲突又迎新生命：jump at one's own shadow
滞留的人累到极点，有人说 None of us have either, and we're jumping at our own shadows（我们也一样，连自己的影子都会吓一跳）。走廊里一句口音就引爆冲突，有人被赶「滚回你来的地方」，对方回一句 I'm Muslim, and I was born in Connecticut（我是穆斯林，而且我出生在康涅狄格）。想学压力、偏见和化解场面的说法，这段很扎心。
发生了什么
滞留者和当地人都快撑不住了：Some of the plane people haven't slept in three days（有些飞机上的人已经三天没睡了），一个个都在 jumping at their own shadows（被自己的影子吓到）。周四晚饭前后，走廊里因为口音爆发冲突，有人被质问 even celebrating，甚至被吼 Go back where you came from（滚回你来的地方），对方回一句 I'm Muslim, and I was born in Connecticut（我是穆斯林，而且我出生在康涅狄格）。飓风艾琳又逼近，克劳德把大家带去俱乐部喝一杯；也正是在那儿，有人终于想通：Nobody here knows me. I can be whoever I wanna be（这儿没人认识我，我可以当我想当的任何人）。想学高压下的偏见、反驳和喘息的说法，这段很有力量。
这场戏看什么
- 指责怎么先冲口音和面相
- 盯 I'm Muslim 只陈述不辩解
- 邦妮用 about to 把出生说成挡不住
