[edit] Alex Browning
- [After Carter asks who's next] You think it's gonna make it easier to know, Carter? [Everyone looks at him] It's not. It's gonna make it fuckin' harder.
- [yelling at Death] You tried to capitalize but I caught you, you fuck! Yeah, I can beat you. Not forever, but I've got this cabin rigged to beat you now!
- [Explaining about cheating death and it's design. ] The mortician said that Death has a design. Right? Now, what if you, me, Tod, Carter, Terry, Billy, Ms. Lewton messed up that design. For whatever reason, I, I saw Death's plan. We cheated him. But what if it was our time? What if we were not meant to get off that plane? What if it still is our time? If it is, then it's not finished, and we will die - now, not later - unless, unless we find the patterns and cheat It again.
- There's this pattern that's emerging.
- I saw it happen!
- Fuck you! I'll remove myself!
- I got this feeling... a weird feeling.
- I just can't believe we got on a plane again, you know what I'm saying?
[edit] Clear Rivers
- [defending Alex] He's not a witch.
- [on Death's design] That out of everyone on Flight 180 you, me and Carter were meant to live. Maybe that was the design all along.
- [on her family] Life became shit after that. My mom couldn't deal anymore. She married this asshole who my mom with my real dad would have crossed the street to avoid this guy.
- It depends on which one of us is next.
- I don't understand. Did you see Tod die? Did it happen again, like on the plane?
- [Turns toward Alex] Kinda like being able to see the future.
- [Remembering to her childhood] When I was a kid, like six or seven, I used to worry so much about my parents dying. Lying awake at night, just worrying.
[edit] Carter Horton
- We blow half a day in Paris, all because Browning had a bad fucking dream?
- I'm never gonna die!
- [before he was hit by a sign.] So who's next?
- What are you God now?
- What's your fuckin' problem?
- As far as I know, this shit can circle around and get us all again. But for right now, I'm the safest fucker in the world, because you're still NEXT.
- You have a responsibility to tell me!
[edit] Billy Hitchcock
- [Wondering who is next to die] Please tell me I'm gonna get to see the Jets win the Super Bowl!
- [Repeated Line] Carter, you dick!
- [[as he watches the plane take off and then explode] There they go, here we stay.
- I was in the bathroom. The lock was stuck. I didn't fight with anyone!
- I knew I shoulda hit on Tammy in the pool that time.
- You will be, YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD! and you ain't takin' me with you [Turns around and gets decapitated by a shrapnel, killing him]
- And I fucking hated French class!
[edit] Others
- Bludworth: In death, there are no accidents, no coincidences, no mishaps and no escapes.
- Bludworth: I'll see you soon.
- Tod Waggner: [Reading his memorial speech] We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast. But when we say this, we imagine that the hour is placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun, or that death could arrive this same afternoon — this afternoon which is so certain, and which has every hour filled in advance.
- Tod Waggner: You've been on a lot of planes that blew up?
- Terry Chaney: I'm moving on, Carter. And if you want to waste your life beating the shit out of Alex every time you see him then! You can just drop fucking dead. [Gets hit by a bus, killing her]
- George Waggner: That's a good sign. Younger, the better. It'd be a fucked up God to take down this plane.
- Hare Krishna: Death is not the end.
- Larry Murnau: I'll stay.
- Valerie Lewton : Don't talk to me, you scare the Hell out of me.
[edit] Dialogue
- Barbara Browning: Alex?
- [Barbara goes to the door, holding Alex's clothes.; She sees Alex and enters his room.]
- Barbara Browning: Tod and George's dad just called. He's picking you up at 3:30 tomorrow [puts Alex's clothes on Ken's suitcase.] and the bus leaves the high school for the airport around five.
- [Ken walks near the door.]
- Ken Browning: How's my suitcase working out for you?
- Tod Waggner: Let's go take a shit.
- Alex Browning: Why can't you go take a shit by yourself?
- Tod Waggner: Listen, okay? Listen. Say you're on the plane, all of a sudden your body wants that airplane food out. You go to torque a wicked cable and right after you walks in Christa or Blake. Now, do you want them to associate you with that watery sting in their eye, that reflective gag at the back of their throat?
- [Present]
- Christa Marsh: Alex?
- [Alex wakes up, horrified.]
- Christa Marsh: Could you trade seats so Blake and I could sit together?
- [Alex turns to Tod, who do the same actions in his premonition.]
- Christa Marsh: She asked Tod, but he had some medical thing.
- Blake Dreyer: Please?
- [Alex, horrified emerges out of his seat.; All the passengers were looking at him.; Alex rushes to Tod's seat.]
- Tod Waggner: What's up, dude?
- [Alex pulled out the loosed screw on the tray, from his premonition. He was horrified.; Christa and Blake take their seats, as a flight attendant stumbles Alex.]
- Flight Attendant: Is there a problem, sir?
- Carter Horton: What's your fucking problem?
- Larry Murnau: [stumbles to Alex.] Alex? Qu'est-ce que c'est?
- Alex Browning: [emerges out of the seat.] "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" The fucking plane's gonna explode!
- Carter Horton: Shut up, Browning.
- Terry Chaney: [stands up] You're so not funny!
- Flight Attendant: If this is your joke,---
- Alex Browning: [panicked] It's not a joke! It's not a joke!
- Co-Pilot: No one gets back onboard. That's my call!
- Valerie Lewton: Wait please!... I've got 40 students going to Paris please? Please?
- Co-Pilot: Look, you must understand my position.
- [The flight attendant returns to the plane as Clear goes to the terminal.]
- Valerie Lewton: I do, I understand and I apologize for Alex, but one of us needs to be on that plane. I cannot let students go to Paris for ten days.
- ...
- [While the co-pilot and Ms. Lewton are talking, Carter attempts to attack Alex again.]
- Larry Murnau: Carter no!
- Terry Chaney: Carter!
- Tod Waggner: Sit the fuck down, Carter!
- [The plane begins to depart as Carter, Terry and Billy are watching.]
- Terry Chaney: We should be going.
- ...
- Valerie Lewton: Alex talk to me. Tell me what happened?
- Alex Browning: I saw it. Like, I don't know, I just saw it. I saw it on the runway, I saw it take off. [Carter turns to Alex.] I saw out my window. I saw the ground...
- [Carter begins walking to Alex.]
- Terry Chaney: Uh, Carter. [follows Carter.]
- Alex Browning: ...and the cabin starts to shake, right? And the left side blows up and the whole plane just explodes! And it was so real, just how everything happens, you know?
- Tod Waggner: You've been on a lot of planes that blew up?
- Valerie Lewton: You must have fallen asleep.
- Carter Horton: Wh-whoa, we get thrown off the plane, We blow what? A half a day in Paris, all because Browning has a bad fucking dream? But wait, [mocks Alex] "The plane!, it's gonna blow up!, it's gonna blow up!"
- ...
- Carter Horton: You're paying for my trip, Browning...!
- Alex Browning: I wish you were on that plane!,... Damn you, You fucking prick!---
- [The plane explodes, just like in Alex's premonition.]
- Billy Hitchcock: Oh shit!
- [Billy ducks as the force of the explosion breaks all the windows, startling the survivors when they witness the plane explode.]
- Security Guard #2: Call it in!
- Food Clerk: Security!
- [The guards run outside and call some back-up. Carter, Tod, Ms. Lewton, Terry and Clear look at Alex in horror as the plane's wreckage falls from the sky.]
- Carter Horton: I hope you don't think Browning, because my name ain't on this wall that I owe you anything.
- Alex Browning: I don't.
- Carter Horton: All I owe these people [turns to Alex.] is to live my life to the fullest.
- Alex Browning: Then maybe you should lay off the J.D. then, Huh Carter?
- Carter Horton: [enraged; grabs Alex's arm] Listen!, Don't you ever fucking tell me what to do, alright?! [Terry rushes to him and Alex.] I control my life, not you!
- Terry Chaney: Carter!
- [Carter releases Alex's arm and turns to Terry. Then turns back to Alex.]
- Carter Horton: I'm never going to die.
- [Carter walks off.; Terry turns to Alex and gently comforts him.]
- Alex Browning: Ms. Lewton--—
- Valerie Lewton: Don't talk to me, you scare the hell out of me.
- [In the morgue]
- Clear Rivers: This gives me a rush!
- Alex Browning: What? This place?
- Clear Rivers: Doing something I'm not supposed to.
- Clear Rivers: Almost autumn.
- Alex Browning: It's only the end of June.
- Clear Rivers: Yeah, but everything's always in transition. If you focus, even now, just one week into summer, you can almost feel autumn coming. [turns toward Alex] Kinda like being able to see the future.
- Terry Chaney: Enough!, both of you! They died, and we lived. Get over it.
- [She turns to Carter.]
- Terry Chaney: I will not let this plane crash be the most important thing in [hits Carter twice.] My life! [hits him again.] God! I'm moving on, Carter...
- [begins walking off.]
- Terry Chaney: [while walking backwards to the road.] ...and if you want to waste your life beating the shit out of Alex every time you see him, then you can just drop fucking dead!
- [A bus comes speeding down on Terry and hits her.]
- Carter Horton: It ain't my time. [starts his car, but it doesn't.]
- [Carter tried starting his car again, but with no avail.; He turns around and see a train coming towards him.]
- Carter Horton: Shit.
- Alex Browning: [turns to Carter.] Carter listen to me. This isn't the way. Get out of the car, Carter.
- Clear Rivers: Carter, get out of the car!
- [Carter see a shadow of Death looms over his car.]
- Alex Browning: Come on! Get out!
- [Carter, panicked opens the car door, but it locked.; He tries to unbuckle his sea tbelt, but with no avail.]
- Carter Horton: [panicked and scared.] I c..., I can..., I can't get out!
- [Alex runs to the car.]
- Clear Rivers: Alex!
- [Alex attempts to help Carter.]
- Clear Rivers: No!
- [Alex tried to unbuckle the seat belt, but in vain and decides to pull Carter out of the car, before the train speeds toward them.]
- Billy Hitchcock: Man, he really is next.
- Alex Browning: I saw it! I saw the belt.
- Clear Rivers: [to Carter.] You scared now?
- Carter Horton: It broke!
- Clear Rivers: [to Carter.] Bullshit! He saved your life again.
- [Billy walks to Carter, Alex and Clear.]
- Billy Hitchcock: That's right!
- [Carter turns to Billy.]
- Billy Hitchcock: You're next Carter! I'm staying the fuck away from you!
- Carter Horton: Shut up Billy!
- Clear Rivers: Billy, We don't need this shit right now.
- Billy Hitchcock: I don't need it ever. [to Alex and Clear.] What are you doing? Get away from him, he's next!
- Carter Horton: Hey, fuck you Billy. I'm not dead!
- Billy Hitchcock: Oh you will be. You're dead, you're dead!... And you ain't taking me with you!
- [A shrapnel was knocked over by the train and flies out. Billy turns around as the shrapnel flies and decapitates him from the jawline.]
- Alex Browning: You should've been next, You should've been next after Lewton. That's the plan! That's the design! [turns to Carter.] You should be fucking dead!
- Carter Horton: Well you're the fucking devil!
- Alex Browning: [turns to Clear.] I saw the seat belt! I knew it would rip!
- [The sound of a police car is approaching.]
- Alex Browning: That's how I saved him. Just like the plane. Just like the explosion, I saw it!
- Clear Rivers: The police are coming.
- Alex Browning: Fuck! I saved him! And because I saved him, [points to Carter.] it skipped Carter [points to Billy's corpse.] and went to the next in the path of the explosion, Billy. I have to see it. And if I see it, then I intervene. And if I intervene, I cheat the design.
- Carter Horton: What intervene? What are you, God now?!
- Alex Browning: Gods aren't afraid to die. Gods don't die, We do! You know?---
- [Clear walks to Alex.]
- Clear Rivers: Baby you're losing it! okay? The police will be here. We have to get you to my cabin. Well, You can hide and get your head together.
- Alex Browning: Okay after Billy, I'm next. [turns to Clear.] I'm next.
- Clear Rivers: And then me.
- Alex Browning: Hey, hey, hey, hey, Hey Listen, I'm not gonna let it happen okay? [Clear doesn't respond.] Listen to me, all right?---
- Carter Horton: Hey, hey, hey!
- [Alex and Clear turns to Carter.]
- Carter Horton: Why don't you two just get the fuck out of here.
- [Clear and Alex escape as Carter was left in the road.]
- Clear Rivers: That out of everyone on Flight 180 you, me and Carter were meant to live... Maybe that was the design all along.
- Carter Horton: [points to Alex] Or you could still be next.
- Clear Rivers: Shut up, Carter.
- Carter Horton: What? I didn't make up the rules. I mean, somebody's gotta intervene before death can skip them. Alex proved that 3 times. On the plane, me, you. For all I know, it could circle back and get us all again. But I am the safest fucker in the world, because you're still [points to the sketch of Alex's seat.] next.
- [While Clear and Carter are talking, Alex begins seeing omens everywhere around him.; Clear's wine spills on the sketch, Alex frightened, jumps out of his seat.]
- Alex Browning: I'm gonna meet you guys back at the hotel, okay?
- Clear Rivers: Just wait. I'll go with you.--- [Clear begins picking up her stuff.]
- Alex Browning: No-No, j-just just stay here okay? Clear, just stay here. All right?
- [Alex begins walking off.]
- Carter Horton: [to Alex.] See? It's true. I told you you were next, man.
- Clear Rivers: Stop it, Carter. Alex wait.
- [Alex stops and turns to Clear.]
- Alex Browning: No Clear, stay there. Okay? Stay away.
- [While Alex walks away, Clear looks at the bus reflection at the window and realizes this.; Clear turns to Alex.]
- Clear Rivers: Alex!
- [Alex sees the bus and moves away. The bus loses control and hits the street light, which cuts off the bar of the sign. The part of the sign begins falling apart and begins swinging onto Alex.]
- Clear Rivers: Alex!!
- [Carter pushes Alex away from the sign, which misses him.; Carter gets up.]
- Carter Horton: I told you were next!
- Alex Browning: Then it just skipped me.
- Carter Horton: So who's next?
- [Alex look up, as the sign swings back onto Carter and kills him. The screen fades to black.]
