FLY BY NIGHT AIRLINES STEWARDESS by Mikey J
INT. AEROPLANE. NIGHT.
A STEWARDESS APPEARS, COMPLETE WITH THE USUAL OVERDONE SMILE.
STEWARDESS:
Good evening, passengers. Welcome to Fly By Night Airlines. We are very sorry, but you won't be flying with us tonight as, just like lots of other small airlines, we've gone bust.
STEWARDESS POINTS UPWARDS.
STEWARDESS:
In a moment, oxygen masks will fall down from above you for those of you who are now starting to panic.
STEWARDESS POINTS FORWARDS.
STEWARDESS:
If you look straight ahead of you, you will find the purchase contact between you as us, stating in very, very, very small print that you cannot hold us responsible for any unforeseen circumstances… such as our company going under, and that you agree you will not try to claim any refunds.
(a pause)
You will find emergency exits here and here…
STEWARDESS POINTS LEFT AND THEN RIGHT AS SHE SPEAKS.
STEWARDESS:
…where you can get off the plane, return to the airport and attempt to book alternative flights. The next available flight probably won't be until next week, but the chairs in the terminal are very comfortable to sleep on… well, at least they are for the first five minutes or so.
(a pause)
Thank you for not flying with Fly By Night Airlines.
STEWARDESS GIVES A SICKLY SMILE.
END.
