Step Back, Doors Closing

Is everything all right?

I was hoping to see a food menu.

There it is.

You must be awful sick of that.

Mm-hmm.

"I first appreciated the mix of traditional and modern elements

in my father's whaling cottage when I was five years old.

Ever since, I knew I was destined to design mid-century

modern homes with a flair for Scandinavian--"

Would you like to purchase something?

Have you ever tried the Mediterranean sampler?

I have not, but I have heard very good things.

Huh.

Kinda wish you tried it.

Can I have an extra pillow?

Uh-huh.

Excuse me.

I'm just gonna go to the restroom.

Oh this guy's sleeping.

They don't go back very far.

I wonder if there's a-- like a, trick to it?

Please don't die.

Please don't die.

Oh, shit.

Hello?

Hey, man.

How you doing?

Hey, man. I'm good.

How are you?

God, it's been, like--

what, three, four years?

Just about.

You ready to make up for some lost time?

Yeah. Uh...

Well I thought I was.

But your flight got in kind of late.

Yeah.

There was some-- ugh, some security something.

It held us up for a few hours.

Yeah.

Look, I hate to do this man, but I

think I gotta stay in with my girlfriend tonight.

Hello?

Ry, you there?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm here.

I'm really sorry, man.

It's just-- I got this thing in the morning--

No, no.

No apologies. You're good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I understand.

Cool, man.

But I'd love to hang out soon and catch up,

hear what you've been up to.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

All right, man.

You, uh-- good luck with your thing in the morning.

Tell your girlfriend some random dude said hi.

Yeah. Yeah, man.

Thanks. You have fun tonight.

-All right? -Thanks.

Talk to you later.

Cool. See ya.

-Oh! Oh, oh! -

Hi. You've reached the voicemail of Clyde--

What up? Leave a message.

Hi. This is Kesang's cell phone.

I'm unavailable right now, but if you

leave your name and number--

Still open.

Yep.

You want some help?

Not unless you're a medium that specializes in cell phones.

Where are you trying to go?

Um, my friend's apartment.

The location of which is on this malfunctioning gizmo, so.

You wanna borrow mine?

I don't know her number.

You can message her on Instagram--

I have two-step verification.

What's her name?

You can use mine.

I don't care.

It's Sierra Baderra.

Sierra, underscore-- here, can I?

Yeah. Go for it.

-Thank you. -

Do you have any sense of what neighborhood or area

she lives in?

Um, I think she's downtown.

I don't know.

I'm not 100% sure.

Hey, we have a mutual friend.

-Really? - Yeah. Jamaan Mills.

That's awesome.

How do you know Jamaan?

Boys and Girls Club.

You?

Temp assignment.

We had to do these PowerPoints for some healthcare company.

Small world.

Yeah. Really small.

- Thank you. -Of course.

Where are you from?

Los Angeles.

LA. Nice.

Are you actually from there, or is

it like when people from Virginia say they're from DC?

Yeah, no.

I-- that's where I'm actually from.

I'm halfway between downtown and the beach.

What about you?

Maryland, but I was born in DC.

-Oh, congratulations. -Thank you.

Step back.

Doors closing.

- -Please step to the side

to allow customers to exit.

If there's one thing about DC, it's

that the metro is about as reliable as the weather.

How long are we underground for?

Depends where you're going.

How did you survive a six-hour plane ride?

I can do flying. I can't do underground.

Is it because of the mole people?

They have every right to be here as we do.

Please stop talking.

Why are we stopped?

Track work directly ahead of us.

Train'll be moving shortly.

They always plan this stuff on the weekend.

It's nothing. We're good.

Are we under attack?

Are we-- no. No.

Is this a terrorist attack?

No.

Oh, I need to get off this train.

I need to get off this train.

No, you don't. No, you don't.

Listen, listen.

I need to get off--

You just gotta take a deep breath.
