Come From Away the Musical - 28 Hours/ Wherever We Are Lyrics
BEVERLEY (spoken)
When you include the original flight,
We were on the plane for twelve...thirteen hours
MAN (spoken)
We were on there fifteen hours
MAN (spoken)
Twenty hours
MAN (spoken)
Twenty-eight hours.
We were on the plane for over an entire day
COMPANY
Twenty-eight hours
Over an entire day
There was one aisle in the middle
Everyone knew every inch of that plane
MAN (spoken)
We were allowed out of our seats, but not off the plane
MAN (spoken)
You never think about it,
but airplane doors are twenty feet in the air
MAN (spoken)
And even if you survived the jump,
they probably would have shot you
ADVERTISEMENT
MAN (spoken)
You can go up to first class. You can stretch in the aisles
MAN (spoken)
There are three seats on each side
and there was only one aisle in the middle
MAN (spoken)
Everyone knew every inch of that plane
WOMAN (spoken)
Our flight was full!
There were children sleeping on the floor
WOMAN (spoken)
We had no way to get information
MAN (spoken)
This is before most people had mobile phones.
And only a couple people got through
MAN (spoken)
Hello?
MAN (spoken)
Mom!
WOMAN (spoken)
Bonjour?
WOMAN (spoken)
Operator?
BEVERLEY
Tom?
Oh, thank God!
I finally got through
I borrowed a passenger's phone
How are you?
Are the kids okay?
No, I'm fine Tom
I'm fine
Safe and sound on the ground here in Newfoundland
We don't know much except for the BBC
Listen
I can't talk long
Can you do something for me?
MAN (spoken)
I'm okay
MAN (spoken)
I'm fine
WOMAN (spoken)
Vais bien
WOMAN (spoken)
Pick up!
BEVERLEY
Tell the kids I'm alright
Take them into the kitchen
And show them the map
That we used to put pins in
For each destination
That we flew together
Tell them that I'm fine
Put a pin here in Gander
NICK (spoken)
On our plane, someone has a cell phone
MAN (spoken)
But then the battery dies
MAN (spoken)
There are phones in the backs of the seats
WOMAN (spoken)
But they don't work!
WOMAN (spoken)
Half of the passengers on our plane don't speak English!
MAN (spoken)
Even if we knew what was happening,
We don't speak their language
MAN (spoken)
On our plane, we asked the flight attendants
WOMAN (spoken)
But the captain says not to say too much,
and that's when rumors start flying
WOMAN (spoken)
There's an accident
MAN (spoken)
An accident?
MAN (spoken)
The US airspace is closed
MAN (spoken)
For the first time in history
MAN (spoken)
Why won't she tell us what's happening?
MAN (spoken)
A helicopter crashed in Pennsylvania
WOMAN (spoken)
A helicopter crashed into a building
MAN (spoken)
Oh my god! It's World War III!
MAN
Meanwhile on our plane
MAN
We didn't have a clue
MAN
We were all going insane because
COMPANY
There wasn't squat to do
MAN
Then the captain starts apologizing
Says on behalf of the airline
He's giving each and everyone some
COMPANY
Complimentary booze!
Open the airplane doors
Wave at all the cars
Hello to whoever you are
Wherever we are
WOMAN (spoken)
The ground crews supplied whatever we needed
MAN (spoken)
Nicotine patches
MAN (spoken)
Medication
WOMAN (spoken)
Pampers
COMPANY
Something to drink!
MAN
So the flight attendants brought out
All the mini-bottles of liquor
And delivered them to everyone
COMPANY
Soon everyone got friendlier
MAN
I took a couple of pictures of the view there in my camera
We didn't know where we were
But we knew that we were hammered
COMPANY
Open the airplane doors
Wave at all the locals
Surely there's something better to do than park
Wherever we are
KEVIN JUNG (spoken)
We'd been sitting there for fourteen hours
when we pull out the Grey Goose
KEVIN TUERFF (spoken)
Kevin and I were kinda hiding it because...
KEVIN JUNG (spoken)
...Because we didn't want to share it. Anyway, this woman,
this hot mess behind us, kept completely freaking out
WOMAN (spoken)
I don't understand why they can't let us off.
I mean, just to stretch our legs?!
I mean, really? I need to get some air!
Oh, my God, I need to get off this plane!
KEVIN TUERFF (spoken)
And my boyfriend Kevin. We're both named Kevin.
It was cute for a while.
Anyway, Kevin was not dealing with it well
KEVIN (spoken)
I'm going to kill her
WOMAN (spoken)
Excuse me?! I would like to get off the plane.
I am claustrophobic!
KEVIN (spoken)
Excuse me, would you like some Xanax?
Because you are freaking out and
it is freaking me out and we are all freaking the fuck out
COMPANY
Open the airplane doors
Let a little air in here
Cause I could use a shower or a bar
(Or a bar)
Open the airplane doors
Look at all the planes out there
There must be a convention it's bizarre
Wherever we are
Twenty-eight hours
(Twenty-eight hours)
Out of the window
Twenty-eight hours
(Twenty-eight hours)
Nothing but darkness
Twenty-eight hours
(Twenty-eight hours)
Darkness and headlights
Twenty-eight hours
(Twenty-eight hours)
Nothing to see
WOMAN (spoken)
The flight attendants keep telling us nothing's wrong.
When, I've got kids, and I've got grandkids,
I know when someone's hiding something.
And when parents need their kids to stop asking questions,
They start playing movies
WOMAN (spoken)
We ran through every movie we had:
Legally Blonde, Doctor Doolittle 2, and...Titanic
WOMAN
Near, far, wherever you
COMPANY
Nothing to do
Nothing to see
Thank god we stopped at the duty-free
Wherever we are
NICK (spoken)
Do you mind if I sit? I need to get to work
and there's some drunk people at the back of the plane singing
at the top of their lungs
DIANE (spoken)
No, of course. I'm Diane
NICK (spoken)
Nick. How are you doing?
DIANE (spoken)
I'm...worried about someone. He was flying today.
I just wish there was some way to tell him where I am
NICK (spoken)
Newfoundland. Oh, no, you know that.
You just can't tell him. Right. I'm hoping
you're one of those people who laughs
when English people say awkward things
DIANE (spoken)
I just wish we knew what was happening
WOMAN (spoken)
What's happening?
WOMAN (spoken)
What's happening?
COMPANY
Somewhere in between
DIANE (spoken)
Your life
NICK (spoken)
And your work
COMPANY
When the world may be falling apart
And you think
DIANE
I'm alone
NICK
I'm alone
NICK & DIANE
And I'm so damn helpless
COMPANY
There's nothing left to do but drink
WOMAN
We open the airplane doors
Flash all the cars
Wooh!
I've never done that before
COMPANY
Twenty-eight hours
God! Over an entire day
Running out of things to say
And if there's someone
Going to clue us in
Tell us all what's happening
Because the sun is setting
And we're sitting in the dark
Wherever we are
MAN (spoken)
Later that night,
I'm up in the cockpit with some of the other passengers
when the pilot puts the radio on over the intercom,
and the whole plane goes silent when the president gives his speech
GEORGE W. BUSH (spoken)
I ask the American people to join me in saying thanks for all the folks
who've been fighting hard to rescue our fellow citizens
and to join me in saying a prayer for the victims and their families.
The resolve of our great nation is being tested, but, make no mistake,
we will show the world that we will pass this test. God bless
BEVERLEY
You got through to the airline
Tom, I'm okay
Tell me what's happening out there
How bad is it?
Tom, tell me everything
Tom, who was in the air?
No, no I wouldn't have known them
No, no one on that airline
Charles?! Are you sure?
No, I'm fine Tom
I'm fine
