Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: [New York late at night and both men can't sleep so they decide to go for a walk. It's cold outside and both are bundled up] It's all so unreal. I guess I'm just having a little trouble separating reality from whatever the hell this is.
Jeff Skiles: This is two men freezing their asses off.
[They both laugh]
Jeff Skiles: Sully
[pause]
Jeff Skiles: don't worry. You did a great thing and it's going to be remembered for a very long time.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Funny thing is, I've delivered a million passengers over 40 years in the air and in the end I'll be judged on 208 seconds.
Jeff Skiles: Come on. Tomorrow's going to be a good day. Computer SIMS will prove you were right and we can all put our wings back on.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Do you want to run?
[Both men go jogging on down the street]
