- S: What would you like to drink?
- Banal Airplane Conversation
- 13B: Just water, thanks.
- 13C: Same.
- S: And for you?
- 13C: I'm missing a knitting needle. Have you seen one?
- 13B: ...
- 13B: No, sorry.
- 13C commences to search beneath the seats and eye 13B suspiciously.
- 13B: DId you find it?
- 13C gives up.
- 13C: No. I had it this morning.
- 13B: What are you making?
- 13C: A sock. I need a fourth needle to work on it though. The other one is finished.
- 13B: Maybe you should carry an extra one for times like these.
- 13C: Maybe. But I've never lost one before.
- As the flight approached O'Hare, the conversation did not pick up again. Strangers took naps. 13C scribbled a lawyer's to-do list. 13B listened to an iPod and read.
