Pilot Light

INT. PLANE NIGHT

SAM, having just woke up,begins to rub his sore neck and
try to clear the sleep from his eyes. Looking around the
plane he is shocked to find only one passenger remains. The
passenger, a CHILD dressed in a black suit, is standing in
the isle and staring at him.

SAM
Where the hell is everyone?

The CHILD studies him for a moment and then answers in a
calm and confident manor. The child voice portrays no child
like qualities.

CHILD
Do you always address children with
such harsh language?

SAM
That's not important, just tell me
what happened.

CHILD
Everyone has gone their separate
ways.

SAM
What the hell is does that mean?

CHILD
Look around, what does it mean to
you.

SAM
Well obviously it means everyone
has gotten off the plane. Why
didn't anyone wake me?

CHILD
There was no reason to.

SAM
No Reason! I would have liked to
get off the plane with everyone
else, that's a good reason. Move
aside!

SAM gets up and opens the compartment above him to get his
baggage but there is nothing there. He searches through some
of the near by compartments which are all also empty. The
CHILD only observes him.

SAM
Great, someone took my bag. This
airline is not going to hear the
end of this.

CHILD
No one took your bag.

SAM
What! Where is it then.

CHILD
Right where you left it.

SAM
Funny kid, I don't have time for
jokes.

CHILD
I have no reason to joke.

SAM
Screw it I'll deal with that later.

SAM jogs to the front of the plane with a sense of
frustration. He finds the door closed and attempts to open
it but cannot. The child calmly walks to the door.

CHILD
Try reading the directions. They're
printed above the door.

SAM
I shouldn't need directions to open
a damn door!

CHILD
You're right, they wouldn't help
you anyway.

SAM
What is that suppose to mean?

CHILD
Well what would you do if you did
get the door open.

SAM
Get the hell of this plane.

CHILD
Would you?

SAM paueuses and looks at the child. He appears to think for
a second then goes to the nearest window and looks outside.
It is dark outside but it is apparent that the plane is
still flying. SAM seems to be puzzled.

SAM
I thought you said everyone got off
the plane?

CHILD
That's what you said.

SAM
Why doesn't if feel like the plane
is moving?

CHILD
Are you sure you can feel anything?

SAM
(Angry again)
What kind of question is that, of
course I can.

CHILD
Really?

SAM
This doesn't make any sense.

SAM walks to the pilot's cabin and knocks on the door. His
knock opens the door slightly and after a pause he walks in.
The equipment is all operating but there is no one there.
SAM sits down in the pilot's seat and the CHILD seats next
to him.

CHILD
Quite the site isn't it.

SAM
(Off in his own world)
What?

CHILD
Sitting here gives you a different
sense of the sky. As though you
have power, yet there is also so
much uncertainty.

SAM does not respond, only looks out the window as if he is
trying to figure out what is going on.

CHILD
You have control of the plane and
where you are going, but how do you
really know? How can you trust that
all this equipment works as
intended?

SAM
They test it. It wouldn't be on the
market if it failed testing.

CHILD
True... at least you hope. You put
faith in the idea. You believe that
they would.

SAM
What are you trying to say?

The CHILD says nothing and gets up and walks back to SAM's
original seat. Once there he turns around and looks back at
SAM as if waiting for him. SAM takes another look out the
window of the sky and walks back to his seat, sitting down
once there.

SAM
We left during the day but the sun
is just coming up now, this was
only suppose to be a 3 hour flight.

CHILD
The flight you got on was only a
three hours long.

SAM
Why can't I remember getting off
and changing planes then?

CHILD
This flight required no plane
change.

SAM
My boss is going to kill me for
missing my meeting....I knew it was
a bad idea to take a nap on the
plane.

CHILD
Your boss won't concern himself
with that.

SAM
You don't know my boss. I may be
our company's key employee but he
still gives me no lee-way. We had
so much riding on that meeting.

CHILD
The work you have done for your
company will influence the world.

SAM
Not without funding.

The CHILD does not respond but only studies SAM. SAM lays
his head back in the seat and attempts to go to sleep.

SAM
Well, I guess I'm stuck, I may as
well get some more rest.

The CHILD still does not respond. After a moment SAM opens
his eyes and gives up trying to sleep.

SAM
I don't seem to be tired at all.

CHILD
Being tired is something people
feel.

SAM studies the CHILD for a moment and then appears to
appears to come to grips with the truth. In the window
behind him we see the sun just being to rise on the horizon.

CHILD
Don't worry, it takes everyone a
while.

SAM
(After a moment)
I have so many questions.

CHILD
They will all be answered, but for
now just sit back and relax.

SAM sits back in his chair and the child stands next to him.
The CHILD looks straight forward emotionless as SAM turns
his head to look out the window at the rising sun.
