Ben Stone : Mom's not wrong. Jared's not gonna wait around forever.
Michaela Stone : [sarcastic] Great marriage pep talk. Thank you.
Ben Stone : Why are you fighting this when all it's gonna do is make you happy? It's all we want for you.
Michaela Stone : That was really sweet of you. You must be drunk.
Ben Stone : Definitely. Say yes to Jared. Have a wedding and a honeymoon. Turn the page. It's time. And, yes, you deserve it. Truly.
-
Michaela Stone : [after the passengers are requested to de-plane on the tarmac] When do they ever do this?
Ben Stone : Never. Something's happening.
-
Grace Stone : [reunited with Ben and Cal] I don't understand. How are you exactly the same? You... haven't aged a day.
Ben Stone : [recognizing his now teenage daughter] Olive.
-
Grandma Karen : Michaela Beth, even people that have made mistakes deserve happiness. You know my favorite verse: "All things work together for good."
Michaela Stone : I don't believe that anymore, mom. How can I?
[voiceover]
Michaela Stone : Which is why, when I got the chance to stay away from home for even a few more hours, I jumped at it.
Airport Official : All passengers for Flight 537 to New York, John F. Kennedy Airport, your attention please. This flight is oversold. We are offering travel vouchers in the amount of $400 for anyone willing to take a later flight.
Michaela Stone : Yes. That's me.
Grace Stone : No.
Ben Stone : It's $400 per person. That's our next trip down to the Mayo Clinic.
Cal Stone : I'll stay with dad.
Ben Stone : [high-fiving] There you go. Man time.
Michaela Stone : [voiceover] So Grace and Olive and my folks took the first flight home, while Ben and Cal and I waited for Flight 828. Funny how one little decision can ruin your life. But also save it.

Dr. Williams : His cell count is exactly the same. We're right where we were. It's amazing. It's truly amazing.
Ben Stone : So we pick up with the same regimen, right where we left off?
Dr. Williams : Well, that would be our backup plan, but there's a new treatment protcol for pediatric cases within Cal's profile. It's a game changer.
Ben Stone : Game changer how?
Dr. Williams : Well, it's still in the phase 3 trial, so we have to apply for him to join the patient group, which I'll do right now. If we get him admitted and we get a jump on the treatment, the odds are excellent.
Ben Stone : Uh, can we manage some expectations here? You said six months. You implied it would take a miracle.
Grace Stone : Earth to Ben. You all came back to us. You are sitting here right now, baby. A miracle just happened.
-
Ben Stone : I need a job. If we luck into this treatment, chances are it's gonna cost a fortune, and work insurance won't pay for it.
Grace Stone : We don't know that. It pays for Olive's therapy.
Ben Stone : She goes to therapy?
Grace Stone : Yeah. Twice a week. For years now. Early on, she didn't even want to leave the house, let alone ride in a car or go to school. She couldn't have sleepovers 'cause of the nightmares. I mean, most of that's gone now, thank god.
Ben Stone : She grew up too fast.
Grace Stone : She had no choice.
-
Michaela Stone : What are you doing here?
Ben Stone : Setting them free. I've been hearing it ever since I drove by here this afternoon.
Michaela Stone : You said I was losing my mind, Ben! Why'd you lie to me?
Ben Stone : Because maybe I don't want to be a circus freak! I don't have the time for it. I got to help Cal, find a god damn job, get to know my daughter, reclaim my life!
Michaela Stone : Do you think I am any happier about this? Who would want to reclaim my life, Ben? Part of me wishes we hadn't come back at all, but here we are.
-
Ben Stone : [about to break into private property] To be clear, this is a felony.
Michaela Stone : Yeah, I'm a police officer. I'm pretty sure I know what a felony is.
[the guard dogs begin barking]
Michaela Stone : Hey, what if they attack us?
Ben Stone : They'd be doing their job.
Michaela Stone : [when they open the fence, the dogs simply run away] That was bizarre.
Ben Stone : You think?
Michaela Stone : Now what?
Ben Stone : I don't know. But hearing a voice in your head one time is a fluke. Twice? Now happening to the both of us?
Michaela Stone : Not a fluke.
-
Olive Stone : Dad. What are you doing here?
Ben Stone : Checking out the team. You guys look good.
Olive Stone : Thanks. Parents don't usually show up to practice.
Ben Stone : Well, this parent's got some catching up to do.
-
Ben Stone : I... I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for... everything.
Olive Stone : Dad, you don't have to apologize for something that happened to you.
Ben Stone : I made the choice to stay behind.
Olive Stone : It was a long time ago, dad.
Ben Stone : Not for me. Here you've been all this time, stuck picking up the pieces. Even before I got on that plane, I'd been so caught up with trying to help Cal get better so he could live a long life. I... I lost sight of your life. And now you probably feel like you don't know me. But we're gonna fix that. I'm not going anywhere.
-
Ben Stone : You okay?
Grace Stone : Yeah.
Ben Stone : Usually you're the optimist. I'm doom and gloom, remember?
Grace Stone : I am optimistic. And so grateful.
Ben Stone : Said the woman looking like she's about to toss her cookies.
-
Grace Stone : I have so much to apologize to you for.
Ben Stone : We don't have to get into this now.
Grace Stone : No, I know. I just... I have spent every day of the last five years blaming you. Not only for taking that later flight, but for making Cal so desperate for your attention that he wanted to stay with you. I had maybe, what, six months left with him? And even that you took away from me. But the thing is... I realize now that... for Cal to be here with us today... for Olive to have her twin alive, to maybe grow up beside her... Cal had to be on that plane. He had to.
Ben Stone : [giving her a comforting hug] Oh, what you've both been through. The only reason we were on that trip in the first place was because you insisted... and bribed me with sex.
[they share a laugh]
Ben Stone : So if anyone saved Cal... I'm pretty sure it was you.
Grace Stone : No. This is bigger than us.

[last lines]
Ben Stone : You saved those girls.
Michaela Stone : We saved those girls. How'd you know I was here?
Ben Stone : I just... knew.
Michaela Stone : What is this? What is happening? How about this? There were a lot of people on that plane. Why you and me? What makes two head cases like us so special?
Ben Stone : What's the probability it's just you and me?
Michaela Stone : [over a montage of other passengers experience similiar headaches] And, of course, it wasn't just the two of us.
[they all arrive at an airfield and see the plane on the tarmac]
Michaela Stone : Ben and I didn't know any of these people yet. But soon, we'd know them as well as we know ourselves. As for whatever force brought us all here...
[the plane inexplicably explodes]
Michaela Stone : ...it had no interest in being investigated. And as for the group of us? This was just the beginning.
-
Ben Stone : You all right?
Michaela Stone : Is your mind messing with you?
Ben Stone : [wry snicker] Where to begin?
Michaela Stone : Ben, I'm serious. Earlier today, I heard a voice in my head.
Ben Stone : What do mean, voice? Whose voice?
Michaela Stone : It was my voice, but it was talking to me.
Ben Stone : So, like a psychotic voice?
Michaela Stone : Can you not diagnose me right now and just listen? Look, normally, I'd go to mom about all this, but now I'm stuck with you.
Ben Stone : I lost my mom, too.
Michaela Stone : I didn't mean that.
Ben Stone : I know. Sorry. You want to know what I think? I think it sounds like you're losing your mind.
Michaela Stone : Yeah, of course you do.
Ben Stone : No, I'm not being glib. Keep it to yourself before you end up in a psych ward having exploratory brain surgery. What do you think, the government just sent us home and forgot about us? Who knows what they'll try in order to find out what happened? And I don't want anything to happen to you. That's what I think.
