Claudia, in a room someplace, they're talking about the possibility that the plane was sabotaged.
By screwing with the front wheel?
If the malfunction is because of a leak in the hydraulics, and they try to recycle the gear, the front end of the plane's gonna blow up.
No, you're right, I should definitely let you use the phones.
I thought my reflexes before, in the Press Room, were catlike.
The substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
I think what he's asking is why, on most other nights, do you think the world's going to hell in a hula hoop, but tonight...
