Claire Colburn (Kirsten Dunst), the haggard young stewardess introduced in the previous clip, returns to the passenger area of the plane, now mid-flight. She approaches Drew Baylor, the one and only passenger aboard, and offers him a free seat in first class. When Drew declines her offer, Claire informs him that this upgrade would save her a great deal of footwork.

Now in first class, Drew is once again approached by Claire and engaged in small talk. Claire coaches Drew on his pronunciation of "Louisville" and presents him with detailed directions to Elizabethtown. Additionally, Claire shares that she is a "student of names," offering her own insights on Bens, Mitches, and Phils. Claire is particularly horrified by Phils and Ellens, but deems Mitches "fun" and "full of life"; on the subject of his father, Drew lies and tells Claire that Mitch is fine. Claire offers to hang up Mitch's blue suit, which Drew clutches before eventually letting go.

Soon, Drew is nodding off in his seat. In a dream sequence, he flashes back to childhood, packing boxes and spinning in circles with his father. This warmly nostalgic moment is suddenly violated by flashes of Drew and his colleagues partying wildly, almost violently, in worship of the doomed Späsmotica, until Claire wakes Drew in the morning when the flight is over.

Claire does not allow Drew off the plane right away, instead offering him more jokes and life advice before chasing him into the terminal and shouting, "60B! Don't forget! 60B!" (referring to the freeway exit for Elizabethtown). Gazing after Drew as he departs, Claire heaves a great sigh and raises an imaginary camera to her eye. She mimes taking a photograph and finally disappears.

In this clip, containing the first and some of the only scenes shared by Drew and Claire alone, we learn most of what we need to know about each of them: Claire is quirky, Drew is passive. Claire is so quirky, in fact, that she does not mind waking her only passenger on a red-eye flight to request that he relocate, so she can save the extra trek of 20 feet if he needed anything during the flight, which he probably wouldn't. Drew, meanwhile, is so passive that he complies.

It is possible that Claire has entered the wrong profession, considering her aversion to any hike longer than the galley of an airplane; however, she surely finds it worthwhile to come into contact with so many interesting people every day. It must, therefore, have been quite devastating for her to enter coach and find it deserted save for Drew Baylor.

Claire's burning desire to annoy and socialize with anyone lacking the option to run away is nearly, but not quite matched by Drew's obvious desire to be left alone. In Claire's defense, Drew might have eliminated half the duration of this conversation by correctly pronouncing "Louisville" even once. On the other hand, it is entirely possible that this exchange reveals a true inability on Orlando Bloom's part, leading to its inclusion in the finished film as "comedy."

In many works of art, dream sequences are a subtextually rich avenue for imparting information about a main character, place, or theme. In Elizabethtown, perhaps all we can learn from Drew's nocturnal flashback is that he had a childhood, and although his father is now dead, he was apparently once alive. These powerful shreds of backstory cement Drew's status as a fully realized character. Even in the past, however, Drew cannot escape his demons, and these golden-hued memories are harshly disrupted by his present failure. Perhaps himself dreaming of an Academy Award nomination, Orlando Bloom signals displeasure at these images by wrinkling his brow.

As a sign that true horror resides not in dreams but in the real world, Drew's nightmare is abruptly cut off by a closeup of Claire's grinning face chirping, "Good morning!" In fact, our first introduction to Claire's eminent psychosis occurs in the first seconds of the clip, when she enters the cabin and registers distinct puzzlement on her face. While it may be possible that Claire simply didn't notice the plane was deserted while, for example, performing safety demonstrations before takeoff, several other possibilities are not out of the question:

• Everyone in the world but Claire and Drew is smart enough to know there is, in fact, no such thing as a direct flight from Portland to Louisville
• We are joining Claire just as she regains her senses after blacking out and exterminating what began as a cabin full of passengers
• Elizabethtown is actually a loose adaptation of Stephen King's "The Langoliers"

Also disquieting is her baffling (yet eerily confident) foray into onomatology , revealing a system of arbitrary reasoning that may just as easily convince her that a bagel instructed her to kill the President. If Claire's "studies" inform her that "Phils are almost as unpredictable as Bens," we can only speculate as to what they might reveal about Drews and Claires.

After the flight, when Claire seems to joke, "Better move quickly, lots of people behind you!", Drew turns and looks behind him as if he too did not notice the empty plane earlier. Turning back to Claire, he is greeted by her psychotic, giggling mug. Undoubtedly, the missing piece to this nonsensical interaction is the horde of pink elephants Claire so vividly perceives as she sincerely urges Drew to pick up the pace.
