As the plane starts its descent, Kelly Hu - apparently moonlighting as a flight attendant -- tells the plane's "air marshal" that there is a problem. When he answers her, she sticks a hypodermic needle in his neck. As the rattlesnake sound effects announce the Brotherhood is here, Kelly and a Vin Diesel lookalike crony head toward Noah. Noah stands up and bonks his head on the overhead compartments, and Crony is not very impressed. Noah and Crony meet in the aisle, and when Noah sees Crony's snake tattoo, he becomes suspicious. When he notices that every other passenger on the plane is in league with the Brotherhood, he is even more suspicious. And when Crony punches him in the stomach, he is very, very suspicious. Kelly approaches Noah with a hypodermic needle, but before she can stick him, Adventure Music plays, and Gorgeous deals with all the bad guys with a series of swift kicks. She grabs Noah's hand and leads him to the plane's emergency door. "We're going out," she says, ripping the door open. Even though Gorgeous and Noah should be getting sucked out of the plane right now, both are able to stand firm on the plane with seemingly little effort. It's a miracle of science! While Noah spouts off some crap about the odds of his surviving a jump from a plane, which is totally not important right now, Gorgeous puts on the parachute she managed to sneak past airport security and then shoves Noah out the door.
Meanwhile, in another part of the airplane that somehow has no idea that anything strange is going on, despite there just having been a huge fistfight and an OPEN DOOR on the plane, passengers are too engrossed in their reading material or whatever else you do on planes to notice Noah flying by their windows. In a more realistic section of the plane, passengers are freaking out and putting their oxygen masks on as Kelly and Vin run towards Gorgeous. She jumps out of the plane, very narrowly missing its engine. Kelly and Vin reach the open door and watch. "He brilliantly lowers our expectations and then jumps without a chute!" Kelly says. "Remarkable!" ["Sounds like Noah's almost as good a Librarian as Homer Simpson was a union rep." -- Wing Chun]
What's even more remarkable is that even though the time between their jumps was, like, minutes long, Gorgeous is able to catch up with Noah in the air and deploy her paracute. They glide over the Amazon in some bad special effects.
Upon landing on the ground, which is no easy feat when you consider that they just landed on a rainforest canopy of trees, Noah demands to know who Gorgeous is. She says she was sent by Bob Newhart, but Noah says that Bob told him to trust "no one." Gorgeous tosses Noah her Metropolitan Public Library ID card and we see that she is, in fact, "no one." Her name is Nicole Noone, and that is more clever than I would have given this movie credit for. And it's not that clever.
