Jessica gets up and heads for the bathroom, Reese turns to watch her go and is startled to see Noah sitting in Jessica's seat.
"Can I ask you something?" Noah asks.
"Uhh, no." Reese says nervously.
"Samantha and I, we're watching My Giant, and I was thinking, 'I'm never gonna be as good an actor as that giant.' Do you think I'm just wasting my life with this acting thing?" Noah asks.
"No."Reese says.
"I mean, the giant is like three years younger than me, you know, you think I'll ever get there?"
"Yes."
"Thanks man." Noah says.
"Okay man." Reese says as he starts to get up.
"But what about how much taller he is that me?" Noah asks.

Reese has just finished his third bottle of booze and Noah is still talking.
"I mean, there's no way I can make myself taller now, y'know? And who knows what science will come up with in the future, but Reese, what if I die an unsuccessful, regular-sized man?" Noah asks as Jessica returns, "Hey, Jess, wow you've been in the bathroom for like a half hour."
"I know!" Jessica says through gritted teeth.
"Had the beef-tips, huh?" Noah asks.

Miguel is sitting at the airport waiting for Charity to go on their honeymoon and sees Kay walking past.
"Kay! Kay!" Miguel calls out.
Kay stops and turns to face Miguel, "Hi!"
"Hi! What are you, what are you doing here?" Miguel asks her.
"Well, I've been on Standby for a flight home for hours." She explains.
"Oh."
"Ohh, so no sign of Charity, huh?" Kay asks.
"Not yet."
"So umm, what time are you supposed to leave?"
"This is the last call for Flight 1066 to Athens. The last call." The gate agent says over the PA.
"Pretty soon I guess."
"Yeah, I'm sorry." Kay says.
"I just, I don't understand, I mean, how-how can she do this? Y'know, what, am I, am I like a complete idiot for thinking that she'd actually show up?" Miguel asks.
"No, you're not an idiot, Miguel. You're a guy very much in love."
"Same difference."
"All ticketed passengers for Flight 1066 to Athens should now be on board." The ticket agent says over the PA.
"I get it!" Miguel yells, "Well, that's that."
"No, you know what, I think you should go."
"What?" Miguel asks.
"Yeah, I do. I think you should go, by yourself, get some distance, clear your head, I think it's be really good." Kay explains.
"Oh, I don't, I don't, I don't know..."
"Oh, come on Miguel! I think it would be really good for you!"
"I could, yeah, I can do that."
"Yeah."
"I can't, I can't even believe her! No, y'know what, I am, I am gonna go!" He calls out.
"Good!"
"I know, why not?" He says.
"Right!"
"Right?"
"Right!"
"Y'know-thanks!" Miguel hugs her.
"Okay, I'll see you back at home, if I ever get a flight out of here."Kay says.
"Yeah, well..." Miguel starts, "Nah."
"What? Wait, what?"
"Why don't you come, I mean, I-I have two tickets, why not?" Miguel asks.
"Well-well, I don't know Miguel-really?"
"Yeah, yeah, it'll be great! You can, you can lay on the beach and I can cry over my failed marriage." Kay chuckles, "See-see how I make jokes?"
"Uh-huh."
"No really, I mean, I mean, God, I could use a friend." Miguel explains.
"Oh wow, uh okay, uh maybe. Umm, yes, I can do that!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Cool!"
"All right!"
"Come on!" They go to the jetway and Miguel hands the tickets to the gate agent, "Here."
"Oh, okay, we're going. Yeah." Kay says.
