Loading...

[claude, spoken]
some people spend their days crammed inside shoulder to shoulder with nothing to do but watch the news and wait for something to happen

[company]
on the edge

[beulah, spoken]
we’ve got the tvs going 24/7 in the cafeteria and the more they watch the more scared and angry they get

[company]
on the edge of the –

[oz, spoken]
some of the plane people haven’t slept in three days
none of us have either
and we’re jumping at our own shadows

[company]
on the edge of the world

[beulah, spoken]
around suppertime on thursday, people are waiting to use the phones and there’s a fight in the hallway

(ali is speaking in arabic on the phone to his mother)

[ali, spoken]
ana kwyiss alhamduliallah. el aakl hena helw awi. hagga faw’a el w-ssif. lekin, fee ness, fee na-ss kateera hena, be-yeboosooly
akiny irtakept gereema

[p-ssenger 11, spoken]
hey, hey! what the hell you sayin’?

[ali, spoken]
i beg your pardon?

[p-ssenger 11, spoken]
you celebrating this? you praying for your friends?

[ali, spoken]
maama, laazim ‘afil el sikha delwaa’ty — salaam bahibik —

[p-ssenger 11, spoken]
why doesn’t he speak english?

[ali, spoken]
excuse me?

[p-ssenger 8, spoken]
you telling your muslim friends where to bomb next?

[ali, spoken]
this was not all muslims! and i was not –

[p-ssenger 11, spoken]
go back where you came from!

[p-ssenger 2, spoken]
i’m muslim and i was born in connecticut. i’m an american citizen!

[p-ssenger 11, spoken]
you don’t look american!

[p-ssenger 2, spoken]
what does that even mean?!

(an argument ensues)

[company]
on the edge of the world or wherever we are
we are – we are – we are on the edge
is there something – i need to do something
to keep me from thinking of all those scenes on the tube
i need something to do – ’cause i can’t watch the news
no, i can’t watch the news anymore
on the edge

[claude, spoken]
faa keeps delaying opening the airspace – and here on the ground, we’re dealing with a whole mess of other problems

[company]
on the edge of the –

[beverley, spoken]
some of the planes are parked on a runway where the surface is all torn up. that debris gets into an engine and they’ll never leave

[company]
on the edge of the world

[claude, spoken]
one of the big planes, a triple-7, is sinking into the asphalt
if we don’t do something, she’ll be stuck here forever

[company]
on the edge of the world or wherever we are
we are – we are – we are on
we are – we are – we are – we are on the edge!

[janice, spoken]
i interview a woman from queens – a mother
her son’s a firefighter and they still can’t account for him
she starts crying, and i start crying too, and i can’t stop shaking
i don’t want to do this anymore

[beverley, spoken]
i check in with air traffic control again and it’s more bad news
not only is the airspace still closed, but there’s a storm headed for newfoundland!
hurricane erin is making landfall tomorrow or the day after
if we don’t get these planes in the air soon, no one’s going anywhere!

[oz, spoken]
claude, people are starting to crack

[claude, spoken]
let’s get everyone down to the legion

[kevin t, spoken]
everyone’s going down to the legion for a drink

[kevin j, spoken]
hi, have you seen my boyfriend? his name is kevin. he’s about this tall and he’s lost his mind

[kevin t, spoken]
i just want to go out!

[kevin j, spoken]
well, i don’t

[kevin t, spoken]
well, i’m not going without you

[kevin j, spoken]
well, i’m not staying for a long time

[kevin t, spoken]
one drink?

[kevin j, spoken]
one drink

[beulah, spoken]
hannah, everyone’s going out tonight

[hannah, spoken]
you go on without me, beulah. i need to wait by the phone

[beulah, spoken]
i’ll wait with you

[beverley, spoken]
i keep waiting to hear from the airline, so i’ll just be here by the phone, tom, if the kids want to speak with me

[doug, spoken]
bonnie, i know you’re not leaving the animals, so i brought you some chilli. but i really think that tonight, you should come home and get some sleep –

[bonnie, spoken]
doug! oh my, get in here! we are about to have the first rare bonobo chimpanzee born in newfoundland!

[claude, spoken]
beulah, they need some food down at the legion, if you can spare any

[ali, spoken]
miss beulah, please let me help with the food!

[beulah, spoken]
no, love, you’re a guest!

[ali, spoken]
please! i am a master chef for an international hotel chain. i oversee restaurants around the world – i would like to help with the food!

[beulah, spoken]
get in there!

[diane, spoken]
everyone’s going out to the bar, and nick is going –

[nick, spoken]
i’m going if diane is going

[diane, spoken]
and i think – nobody here knows me! i can be whoever i wanna be!

[bob, spoken]
i’m not worried about my wallet
i’m not worried about getting shot –
i am a little worried about how much irish whiskey i’m drinking!
