Director John Kahrs on his inspiration behind Paperman. That’s the core idea of it – what if two people were really perfect for each other, and they had that chance meeting? And what if they were separated – how would those two people get back together again?

The picture disappears but the paper still is in the credits before it flies off. As the credits roll, they are seen chatting happily with each other at a restaurant table with the lipstick marked paper between them. They're finally brought together when both of their trains stop at the same station George still covered in paper airplanes and Meg holding his lipstick-marked paper airplane. Recognizing the lipstick-marked paper, she chases the airplane to another train station and aboard a different train. Meanwhile, the lipstick-marked paper airplane sets off in pursuit of Meg, finding her at a flower stand. A cloud of paper airplanes forces him toward a nearby train station and onto a train, much to his confusion. It turns out many of the paper airplanes have collected in a nearby alley, and when the lipstick-marked paper airplane lands among them, they begin to stir and fly from the ground, seeming to come alive, and set off in pursuit of George. Angered, he throws it hard and it soars into the sky. Rushing across a street of busy traffic, he fails to see which way she went, and only finds the final lipstick-marked paper airplane. Meg then leaves the office, and George, rebuffing his boss, dashes from his desk. In desperation, having used all of the paper on his desk to no success, he uses the lipstick-marked paper, although this fails as well when a gust of wind tugs it from his hands.

After failing to get her attention by waving his arms, much to the annoyance of his boss, George begins folding airplanes from a stack of papers on his desk, throwing them out the window one by one in an attempt to get her to notice him. He looks out the window and is surprised to find Meg in the building across the street, working in an office with an open window. George arrives at work, despondent, gazing at the lipstick-marked paper on his desk. He is entranced by the lipstick mark and Meg's beauty, and therefore misses her boarding the departing train. The same thing happens to George when a subsequent gust of wind from another incoming train dislodges one of the papers from his folder and blows it into Meg's face, leaving a lipstick-smudged kiss imprinted on the paper, much to his amusement when George retrieves it. The paper is chased by a young woman named Meg who lost it to a gust of wind from a passing train.
