Jersey: Yeah , Thanks...

 

Man: Hurry up, take my hand this place is tearing apart!

 

(They started to run to the nearest stairs to go down, but they saw that the stairs were getting too crowded ,so they run to the “Fast Food” section to get under one of those tables to get protected, once the earthquake had finished, and they stoped to try to protect themselves Jersey looked up the the mistery man to thank him)

Matt: It wasn’t that much, what its important now its to know if we can get out of here ok? What we’ll do will be this...I’ll go over the stairs to see if its safe for us to get down, and you’ll stay here ok?

David on the phone: Where are you?

 

Matt: Trapped on a mall, with the earthquake the stairs fell and Im trapped here...I dont have enough battery to call 911 so, please try to do something ok?

 

David on the phone: Ok...its the JCP Mall right?

 

Matt: Yes...please...you have to do something fast...

 

(He hangs up the phone)

 

Jer: So he will help us?

 

Matt: As far as I know he will

 

(Another earthquake hits the mall, this time less strong than the other one, but this time the ceiling that was made of glass starts to fall down so Matt takes his jackes and covers Jersey and himself with it...After its over...)

 

Jer: Oh...dear God...please tell me they’ll get us out of here...

 

Matt: They’ll ,they’ll...

 

(The sound of a helicopter makes them get out from the table and look up into the now broken ceiling, they are saved!! A rescue team, helps them to get into the helicopter)

 

[SCENE:ON THE HELICOPTER ,MATT AND JERSEY ARE THERE]

 

 

Matt: I told you we’ll be ok

 

Jersey: Wow...I can’t beleive I survived a terrible earthquake and I’m sitting here with...with ...one of the persons I admire the most...

 

Matt: You are so sweet

 

Jersey: With you who wouldn’t?

 

(Matt leanes forward to kiss her while the Rembrandts “I’ll be there for you” is as background music;but suddenly the scene changes suddenly to Jersey’s bedroom, as she wokes up and watches that FRIENDS is starting on TV...)
