2 Across

by Jerry Mayer

Directed by Barbara Gertzog

Two strangers, a man and a woman, board a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 a.m. They’re alone in the car, both are doing the New York Times crossword. She’s an organized, sensible psychologist. He’s a free-spirited, unemployed ad exec. She is a crossword pro. He always quits. When he tosses his puzzle away, she urges him not to give up, explaining, “Crosswords are a metaphor for life, those who finish, succeed, those who don’t, fail.” This starts an eighty-minute ride filled with hilarious, witty, and romantic banter.  As the train ride ends, it’s obvious each has solved more than a crossword together.
