RIGGAN: The last time I flew here from LA, George Clooney was sitting two seats in front of me. With those cuff links and that f***ing chin. We ended up flying through this really, really horrible storm. I mean, plane was like rattling, shaking, and all the people on board crying. I mean, crying, and praying, right. I just sat there—they're crying; I sit there. And I'm thinking, oh boy, the next morning when Sam looks at the paper it's going to be Clooney's face on the front page, not mine. You know? Boom…how do you… [A beat.] Did you know that Farrah Fawcett died the exact same day as Michael Jackson?
This is right after Sylvia is trying to talk to him about Sam and their house and their marriage. All of these things are of little concern to Riggan, whose only worry is that he'll be remembered.
