when they're waiting to pick someone
14:07
coming out of the airport finally tom
14:08
hanks come down the escalator and they
14:11
chose him as a decoy because he had one
14:14
red shoe hence the name
14:16
man with one red shoe but i always think
14:18
of that airport scene for whatever
14:19
reason
14:20
has nothing to do
14:22
with a comic-con
14:23
