289. - Call the Airport Police. - He's on his way.

290. Excuse me.

291. - You got it. There we go. - Ah!

292. He's got to get a running start, I guess. Come on. Just leave.

293. Just leave. Leave. Leave.

294. What are you doing? Why is he kneeling? Is he praying?

295. No. He's tying his shoelace.

296. Come on, leave. Get the cameras.

360. Next.

361. Let me ask you something, Mr. Navorski.

362. Why do you wait here every day when there's nothing I can do for you?

474. So, Mr. Navorski, I have some very good news for you.

475. What?

476. I've figured out a way to get you out of this airport.

477. How?

478. Well, we have laws here that protect aliens

479. who have a credible fear of returning to their own country.

480. If we can establish this fear with you,

481. then the CBP will be forced to begin Expedited Removal Procedures,

482. to bring you to an immigration judge and let you plead your case for asylum.

483. Asylum.

484. Unfortunately, the courts are so backed up with asylum cases

485. that the soonest you'd get before a judge would be six months from now.

486. Yes, and we would have no choice

487. but to let you go for those six months. It's the law. You'd be released.

488. You would be free to wait in New York until your court date.

489. But, believe it or not, most people never show up before the judge.

490. - So I go New York City? - Uh-huh.

491. You can go to New York City tonight.

492. But you only get to go if we can establish a credible fear.

493. - Fear? - Mmm-hmm. Fear.

494. - From what? - That's the best part.

495. It doesn't matter what you're afraid of. It's all the same to Uncle Sam.

496. So I'm going to ask you one question.

497. If you give me the correct answer, I can get you out of this airport tonight.

498. So, I answer one question.

499. Go to New York City. Tonight.

500. - Tonight. - Tonight.

501. - Okay. - Okay.

502. Okay.

503. Do you, at this time, have any fear of returning to your own country?

504. No.

505. Okay. Let me try it again.

506. - Your country's at war. - Yes. War.

507. There are men in the streets with guns. Political persecution.

508. - Yes. It's terrible. - Yeah, it's horrible.

509. And God only knows what could happen.

510. Innocent people are torn from their beds.

511. On Tuesdays. I hate Tuesdays.

512. So you're afraid.

513. - From what? - Krakozhia.

514. - You're afraid of Krakozhia. - Krakozhia?

515. No, I am not afraid from Krakozhia.

516. I'm a little afraid of this room.

517. I'm talking about bombs. I'm talking about human dignity.

518. Human rights.

519. Viktor, please don't be afraid to tell me you're afraid of Krakozhia.

520. Is home. I am not afraid from my home.

521. So? I go to New York City now?

522. - No. - No?

523. Okay.

524. - I'm afraid from ghosts. - Thanks very much.

525. - I'm afraid from Dracula. - Thanks a lot.

526. I'm afraid from Wolfmens, afraid from sharks.

527. Thanks a lot.

528. - Why you do this? - Nobody read the sign in America.

529. This is the only fun I have.

530. A barbecue? That's why I'm not going to see you?

531. Let me get this straight. I change my schedule to meet you.

532. I take four back-to-back flights,

533. fly 27 hours straight literally around the world,

534. and now you tell me you're going to spend July 4th with your wife?

535. The woman hates fireworks.

536. Don't lie to me, okay?

537. I know for a fact you took her to Rome last weekend.

538. Because you flew United, Max.

539. You make a habit out of listening to other people's conversations?

540. No, I try to call home.

541. So then...

542. - You know why men are such assholes? - No.

543. Because they're all liars.

544. Wait.

545. Wet floor.

546. Please. Don't be hurt.

547. How can I not be? He's married.

548. One man. Two womens. Crowded.

549. You want to know what the worst part is?

550. I never asked him to leave his wife. I encouraged him to get counseling.

551. What kind of sick person am I?

552. I'm rooting for the home team.

553. I just wish the sex wasn't so amazing.

554. - So amazing. - Bye-bye.

555. You know, sometimes in the mornings,

556. I just stare at him over room service.

557. Watch him do the crossword puzzle.

558. I start to think that maybe, maybe this could happen.

559. That we belong together.

560. This man has you.

561. Why he need puzzle?

562. This is my problem.

563. I always see men the way I want to see them.

564. Do I know you from someplace?

565. Sensible heels. Payless Shoes. Second floor.

566. You headed for home?

567. No, no. I am...

568. I am delayed a long time.

570. Oh, I go from one building to another building.

571. I have beeper.

572. Oh, contractors. You guys travel as much as we do.

573. Ah.

656. He could be recording everything we say. A wire in his shirt.

657. A microphone up in his ass.

658. - I'm not going to lose my job. - Fine.

659. - What if we x-rayed him? - Yes.

669. Wait.

670. We have a question for you, Viktor.

671. Yeah, we're just curious.

672. What is in the can?

673. - What? This? - Yeah, we saw the x-ray.

674. We know there's no nuts in there.

675. What is in there?

676. This is jazz.

677. - Jazz? - Jazz, yes.

678. - Jazz? - Yes.

679. You sure it's jazz in there? It might be the blues.

682. For tonight's grand prize, we have...

683. Show them, Gupta.

684. I found this upstairs.

685. Virgin Air, first class lounge.

686. There you go.

687. And they belong to?

688. - Cher. - Cher?

689. - As in Cher? - Yeah. Cher.

690. I checked it out. There were witnesses.

691. Those are Cher's panties.

692. - Ready? - Hurry up

693. So, will we share the panties?

694. - No, no, no. - Not if I win.

695. - Come on. - Wait a second.

696. Flight number 801 to Narita

697. is now announcing final boarding...

698. "You can't. That is mine."

699. "You can get so confused."

700. Viktor? Well, hi.

701. Please.

702. - How are you? - Good.

703. I am so sorry about what happened last time, asking you out like that.

704. I'm so used to guys trying to grab my ass at 30,000 feet

705. that when I meet somebody that doesn't, I don't know how to react.

706. - Let's just start over. - Yes, okay.

707. - Are you coming or going? - I don't know. Both.

708. - Tell me about it. - Napoleon?

709. Yeah. I read a lot of history books. They're long and cheap

710. and usually about men killing each other.

711. Like 1,200 pages for $9.99. You can't beat that.

712. - But Napoleon? - Yeah. He's one of my favorites.

713. - You know what saved Napoleon's life? - No.

714. - His ego. - Ego?

715. Yes.

716. After he loses the Battle of Waterloo,

717. Napoleon isolates himself on the tiny island of Saint Helena.

718. No one knows exactly what happens next,

719. but the version I like goes like this.

720. He's very depressed and decides to take his own life.

721. But Napoleon believes himself to be of such superhuman strength

722. that he takes six times the amount of poison needed to do the job.

723. His stomach is so full up with poison that his body rejects it,

724. and he doesn't die.

725. See? Ego. Saved his life.

726. Maybe he need glasses.

727. - Glasses? - Yes. To read words on bottle.

728. Poison.

729. It's funny you should say that.

730. Rumor has it that Napoleon was farsighted.

731. - There you go. - There you go.

732. - There you go. - And there you go.

733. I think we're rewriting history right here.

734. Why don't we talk about it over lunch?

735. I can't believe it. I just asked you out again.

736. I just did it again.

737. I'm so... Just stay away from me, Viktor, okay?

738. I'm sick. I don't have the ability to be alone for five seconds.

739. Okay.

740. - Okay, what? - Okay.

741. Lunch with you.

742. - You'll have lunch with me? - Yes.

743. You're not running for a flight or...

744. I wait.

745. - It's me. - You. Yes.

746. I'm sorry. I just got paged.

747. - You work? - No.

748. Ah.

749. Three of you. Crowded.

750. Stay away from me, Viktor.

751. I'm... I have a serious problem. I'm as bad as Napoleon.

752. I just keep ingesting these poisonous men until I make myself sick.

753. You're not sick, Amelia. No.

754. No. You're farsighted.

755. - I have to go. - I have to stay.

756. - Story of my life. - Oh! Me, too.

757. Your CBP inspection's in three days.

758. The FBI and Homeland Security will tour the airport,

759. spend two hours observing these offices before your interview process begins.

760. How much does Navorski make?

761. Sir?

762. How much does he make? How much are they paying him?

763. They're paying him cash under the table.

764. I know that. How much?

765. $19 an hour.

766. Unbelievable. Do you know that's more than I make?

767. That's New York City construction.

768. One of my own men came up to me the other day.

769. Asked me if I wanted to join the big pool.

770. Look at him.

771. Place a bet on when Navorski's going to leave this airport.

772. Have you heard about this?

773. I have January 3rd.

774. Bring him in.

775. Jake, he has no nationality. Okay? No country.

776. He's a national security risk, according to my interpretation of Section 2.12.

777. I want you to put him in a detention center and run a clearance on him.

778. That's all I want.

779. Well, what about a federal prison?

780. Well, what about another airport?

781. Hello? Hello?

782. We're detaining so many people, there's no room anywhere.

783. - Did you try the FBI? - I tried everybody. Nobody'll take him.

784. You want me to bring him back to the terminal?

785. No. From now on, Navorski lives here.

786. The people who are coming here today

787. will be observing me, inspecting me.

788. But most of all they will be looking at the way that this airport is run.

789. So let's show them why this is

790. the number one airport in the United States.

791. We process about 600 planes a day,

792. with a processing time of 37 minutes per plane,

793. about 60 seconds per passenger...

794. to be brought into the country.

795. We keep it as clean as possible.

796. - What do you import? - Computer software.

797. That's a lot of walnuts.

798. Yeah. My mother-in-law loves these things.

799. Every time I go to Brazil, I bring her back a bag.

800. - Your mother-in-law? - Yeah.

801. Mind if I try one?

802. How did you know those weren't for his mother-in-law?

803. If he's married, where's his ring?

804. And if he's divorced, who still talks to their mother-in-law?

805. I'm sorry, but really. No offense to mother-in-laws, but...

806. - Sir. - Yeah.

807. Sir, we have a situation upstairs.

808. - It'll have to wait. - No. This won't wait.

809. When the 9:12 from Toronto landed,

810. they found four prescriptions without an MPL.

811. They tried to take the pills away, and he went nuts.

812. There he is. We think they're for his father.

813. Sir, sir, calm down. Put your weapons down.

814. Everybody keep your weapons... All right. We're here to help you.

815. We're here to help you, sir. All right. Give me the knife.

816. - Where's he from? - Russia.

817. The only interpreter we got is in Newark.

818. - We have to get someone to talk to him. - I have an idea, sir.

819. Viktor.

820. Viktor.

821. I need your help.

822. His name is Milodragovich. He lives near you.

823. He may not speak your dialect,

824. but I need you to translate and help me out.

825. - I help you? Why? - I don't want anybody to get hurt.

826. This guy's very upset.

827. Just calm him down, and I'll let you back in the terminal.

828. No. New York. No red stamp. Green. I green.

829. - New York. - Okay, yes.

830. - You say yes? - Yes.

831. We have somebody here to talk to you. Somebody to talk to you. Go ahead.

832. Stay out.

833. So?

834. Okay, tell him in order to export medicines from this country,

835. he needs to have the proper form,

836. he needs to have a Medicinal Purchase License.

837. Okay? You understand me, Viktor?

838. He say he bring the medicine for his father.

839. This why he go to Canada. Medicine for father.

840. It doesn't matter.

841. His plane landed in the U.S. He needs to have the right form.

842. He did not know he need this document.

843. No one say to him he need document form.

844. I'm saying it to him.

845. He needs to have the form signed by the hospital who is treating his father.

846. These medicines have to stay in the United States.

847. They have to stay here.

848. - He's begging you. - I know. I can see that he's begging.

849. I'm sorry, sir.

850. You'll have to take a flight in the morning. The medicine stays here.

851. I'm sorry.

852. Send him down.

853. Thank you, Viktor. Good job. Let's go.

854. Oh, oh, oh, hey. Uh...

855. Goat.

856. - What? - Goat. Medicine is for goat.

857. - Goat? - Yes. Medicine is for goat. Goat.

858. - He said that? - Yes.

859. He say...

860. We not understand. I not understand "goat."

861. Why? What are you saying? You misunderstood him?

862. - It's not for his dying father? - No. No.

863. The... Krakozhia... The name for "father"

864. sound like "goat."

865. I make mistake.

866. Why are you doing this, Viktor?

867. Medicine is for goat.

868. - No, it's not. - Yes.

869. You read the blue immigration form.

870. - Blue? - Yes. Blue.

871. - Blue? - Blue. The blue form.

872. The one that says if it's an animal, he doesn't need the license.

873. Then he can bring the drugs in. That's good, Viktor. That's very good.

874. Why are you doing this? Huh?

875. You don't know him. You don't know the rules.

876. Look at me.

877. I was going to help you.

878. Now I want you to ask him... No, not you.

879. I want you to ask him. I want to hear him say it.

880. I want to hear him say who the medicine is for.

881. Please. Who the medicine is for.

882. Answer him, Mr. Milodragovich. Who are the pills for?

883. Okay. The pills stay. He goes. That's it.

884. Goat.

885. Please. For goat.

886. Medicine for goat.

887. Medicine for goat.

888. Medicine for goat.

889. Give him the pills.

890. Medicine for goat.

891. Medicine...

892. He love that goat.

893. Do you think I need an excuse to put you back in that cell

894. to keep you there for five years?

895. You go to war with me, and you go to war with the United States.

896. Then you'll know why Krakozhians wait in line for cheap toilet paper

897. while Uncle Sam wipes his ass with Charmin two-ply.

898. There was a 20 man.

899. Immigration gun was drawn.

900. The Dixon was ready to fire.

901. To kill the little man with the pills.

902. But then someone walks into the room and stand in front of this little man.

903. "Put the guns away," the man say.

904. "Nobody will die today."

905. Who?

906. - Who was it that saved him? - Yeah, tell us. Who was it?

907. Who was this man?

908. Navorski. Viktor "The Goat" Navorski.

909. - It doesn't look good, Frank. - I was just following the rules.

910. Sometimes you have to ignore the rules and concentrate on the people.

911. The people, I know.

912. The people, compassion. That's the foundation of this country.

913. You could learn something from Navorski.

914. Cheer up. It's not over yet.

915. - Is that for me? - Yes. Yes.

916. Is Virgin Isle sailfish.

917. For you.

923. Promise.

924. - A promise in the can? - Yes. A promise.

925. Let me make you a promise, Viktor.

926. And this is a promise that comes from a man who is stuck here.

927. A man who may be stuck here for the next ten years.

928. From now on, you and I are partners.

929. If I stay, you stay.

930. You will not set one foot in New York City.

931. Not a single toe in the United States of America.

932. Do you understand what I am saying to you?

933. Yes.

934. You don't like fish.

935. Do you ever feel like you're just living in an airport?

936. We don't have to do this, Viktor. I can ship you out in a crate.

937. I can mail you anywhere in the U.S.

938. What about my food cart? He can hide inside, and we'll drive out.

939. - No. I can't do this. - You said you wanted us to help you.

940. - I do. - What's her name?

941. Amelia Warren.

942. I thought we were looking for a way out, not a way in.

943. Be careful. Those flight attendants ain't like regular women.

944. Flying back and forth between time zones

945. messes with their biological clock.

946. - They're always ready for sex. - Okay, I found something.

947. I am leaving. They will come for us.

948. Gupta, will you relax? Just watch the door.

949. You go in jail. Not me.

950. For... You know what? Forget it.

951. - Keep looking. - Warren, right?

952. - Yes. Yes. - Warren.

953. Amelia Jane Warren?

954. - Jane? - Yeah.

955. Way to go, Viktor. First class.

956. - When she come back? - Three weeks.

957. Amelia, would you like to get eat to bite?

958. Bite to eat? Cantaloni?

959. Bite to eat?

960. Bite to eat?

961. Eat to bite? Eat to bite.

962. Bite to eat. Bite to eat. Bite to eat.

963. Gupta, you been ever married?

964. - What did you say? - You been ever married?

965. I had a wife and two kids in India. I left them there 23 years ago.

966. Why?

967. I had a small tobacco shop in Madras.

968. Made just enough money to survive.

969. One day this policeman comes in and tells me I owe him some tax.

970. I said okay. This is common. So I pay him.

971. The next day, the same policeman come and keep coming and keep coming.

972. And I am paying, and I'm paying him, and I'm paying him, and I'm paying him.

973. And finally, on the fifth day, I take a knife and I stab him in his chest.

1027. - No, never mind. It's a dumb story. - No, please.

1028. I'm sorry, Viktor.

1037. I'm 39.

1038. So? I was 39 once.

1039. I was 18 years old when I started working for the airlines.

1040. I've been doing this over 20 years.

1041. And now there's no more pretending.

1042. This is it.

1043. It's why my address book is by city, and my pager goes off during dinner.

1044. You can switch off pager.

1045. I wish I could.

1046. I've been waiting for a phone call for seven years.

1047. I know it's coming, Viktor. That's why I can't break it off.

1048. That's why I live out of hotels and have my little suitcase packed, ready to go,

1049. just in case he wants to meet me for the weekend.

1050. Yeah.

1051. I've been waiting my whole life.

1052. Just don't know what the hell for.

1056. Gate 67.

1057. - You live at the airport? - Yes. Day and night.

1058. This home, like you. They tell me to wait.

1059. So I wait.

1060. All frequent fliers feel the same way you do, Viktor.

1061. Everybody's waiting. Everybody.

1062. - For a flight, for a meeting... - I don't wait for flight or meeting.

1063. Then what are you waiting for?

1064. Is okay. I understand.

1065. I have an idea.

1066. - Come here. - What you do?

1067. - You sure? - More than anything, I'm sure of this.

1068. Ready?

1069. So, when do you come back?

1070. 13 days. How about you?

1071. I will be here.

1081. If I ask him, I look like an idiot.

1082. I'm sorry. Sorry. You got to do this for me.

1083. You'll get really fat with all the food I'm going to give you.

1084. But, please, do this for me. It will be the last thing I ask you to do.

1085. He waits for you to answer at Sbarro.

1086. - I have to work. - He will wait.

1087. - How was your flight? - Good.

1090. You're kidding. I come through here twice a month.

1091. Please follow me.

1092. I'm supposed to be meeting somebody.

1093. In my line of work, there are three things that matter.

1094. The person, the document and the story.

1095. Find the truth of one, and you find the truth of all three.

1096. I need your help finding the truth.

1097. Do you know a man named Viktor Navorski?

1098. Yes.

1099. Do you know why he's here and where he's from?

1100. No. We're just friends.

1101. Have you noticed that he hides a can

1102. of dry roasted peanuts in his bag?

1103. - So? - What do you make of that?

1104. I'd make peanut butter, I guess.

1105. We know that he's planning to go to the Ramada Inn on Lexington.

1106. - Has he told you why he's in New York? - No.

1107. - Has he told you where he lives? - No. We just met at the airport.

1108. All I know is that he's a building contractor, living out of a suitcase.

1109. That's it.

1110. - He's a contractor? - Yeah.

1111. That's what he said?

1112. Amelia. I'm just curious.

1113. You are the kind of woman who can get any guy she wants.

1114. Why Viktor Navorski?

1115. That's something a guy like you could never understand.

1116. I guess you missed your flight again. Or maybe you have a bad travel agent.

1117. Please. Sit.

1118. It's okay, Viktor. All men lie.

1119. - At least you're not very good at it. - I did not lie.

1120. You told me you were delayed. You never said it was for nine months.

1121. Maybe you see the man the way you want see the man.

1122. So, what am I seeing? Who are you?

1124. Yes. Yes.

1125. You want to hear the funny part?

1126. I broke up with him.

1127. I was coming here to tell you he's out of my life.
