One of my favorite movies is Up in the Air, George Clooney (Ryan) is the star and his character travels 300 + days a year. He is intent on hitting platinum status or 20 million miles. The day he finally reaches the goal, he has a surprise visit from the chief pilot:
PILOT
You're the youngest yet to hit
twenty mil. Don't know where you
found the time...
(REMEMBERS)
Oh right, here you go.
Maynard pulls out a MEMBERSHIP CARD. It's actually been
stamped from platinum.
PILOT (CONT'D)
Seventh card we've made. Small club.
We really appreciate your loyalty.
It has a pair of wings around "Member Number 7". Ryan holds
it between his fingertips... Catches his own reflection.
RYAN
You know how many times I've
thought about this moment? Played
out the conversation I'd have with
you right here.
PILOT
Really? What did you want to say?
A long beat.
RYAN
You know, I... I can't remember.
I don’t know what to say about any awards, because I don’t expect to receive them for doing my job. My job is to continue to educate and mentor our kids so they can be prepared for the workforce and life.
