Nedd help. Sentence correction

Hi teachers,

Are these sentences correct?

Information to consider: A tiger has escaped from the zoo.

a) Perhaps if i catch the tiger, they will reward me. Well, how come, if I can even catch a fly.

b) The planes rarely get into my city on time. (I guess 'get into' is unappropriate here)

c) A: I want the weekend to arrive soon.

B: So do I.

Thanks in advance

a) Perhaps if I catch the tiger, they will reward me. Well, how come, if I can even catch a fly. (The underlined sentence makes no sense to me, particularly in relation to the previous sentence.)

b) Flights rarely arrive at my city on time. (I guess 'get into' is inappropriate
