放松 好好享受本次飞行吧 Just relax. Enjoy your flight.
拜托 我还想再跟您聊一分钟 Please, Captain. I'd like to talk to you for just a minute.
就一分钟 我还得马上回去工作呢 It can only be a minute, then I'll have to go back to work.
恐怕会让您难堪 I'm afraid I'm going to embarrass you.
我曾经在泛美航空预定处工作 I used to work in reservations for Pan American.
没关系 很高兴您决定搭乘我们的航班 That's fine. I'm glad you decided to try a flight with us.
这架飞机不是有两个出口吗 一个在前面... Aren't there two exits to this plane? One up forward...
你和其他机组人员专用的出口 where you and the rest of the crew leave?
是的 Yes.
我可以那样离开吗 和你还有其他机组人员一起 Could I leave the plane that way? With you and the crew?
拜托 那对我很重要 Please, it's very important to me.
不是你想的那样 旧金山有人等着我 It's not what you're thinking. I am going to be met in San Francisco...
但不是警察或其他会让您惹上麻烦的人 but not by the police or anybody else who could get you into trouble.
这样不行的 It just wouldn't work.
您很困惑 对吗 Confused, Captain?
怎么会 不 是你嘛 Why, no. That's you.
曾经是 八年前 It was me, eight years ago.
有个人在美国看到了那张照片 A fellow in the States saw that picture.
他给我写信 He wrote me.
我很孤独 所以回信了 I was lonely, so I answered.
我们互相写了很多信 There were a lot of letters...
美丽的信 beautiful letters.
上个月 我答应嫁给他 And then last month, I agreed to marry him.
我从没告诉他 那张照片是八年前的 I never got around to telling him the picture was eight years old.
我不想说我的麻烦事烦您 I don't want to bore you with my troubles...
但是那个梦帮助我保持清醒 很久很久 but that dream kept me sane for a long time.
我知道我是... I know I'm a...
一团糟 mess.
我比他想象得老得多 I'm so much older than he thinks I am.
但是... But...
如果我能见到他 if I could just see him...
偷偷看他一眼 然后就走 and then leave without meeting him.
请您理解 Please understand, Captain.
您的请求正是我的职责范围 What you're asking is not exactly in my line.
让我好好想想 我会告诉你的 Let me think it over. I'll let you know.
-报纸吗 -不了 谢谢 -Newspaper? -No, thanks.
-美国电话电报公司如何 -涨了一个点 -How's AT&T? -It's up a point.
希望你不要介意 我情不自禁地一直看您 I hope you don't mind, I couldn't help watching you.
你让我想起了我认识的一个男人 You remind me so much of a man I once knew.
我叫Ken Childs 我一点不介意 My name is Ken Childs and I don't mind at all.
落后了14分钟 机长 Fourteen minutes behind on the last fix, Skipper.
所以呢 So?
我们会赶上的 风似乎转向了 We should make it up. The wind seems to be shifting around.
很好 Good.
有一个Dan Roman这样的人在这儿挺好的 You know it's nice having a guy like Dan Roman up here.
变化一下 我感觉不再像是老爷爷了 For a change, I don't feel like a grandfather.
我那天还跟我妻子说... I was just saying to my wife the other day...
我从未感觉这么好 I never had it so good.
工作轻松 没有压力 Easy job, no strain...
还有一个Susie这么好的妻子 and I'm pretty lucky in having a girl like Susie.
一个人的妻子会使得一切都不同 It makes all the difference in the world what kind of a wife a guy has.
你不觉得吗 机长 Don't you think so, Skipper?
就比如我妻子Susie吧 Now, you take a girl like my Susie.
肯定有很多人以为那很滑稽 I guess a lot of people do think it's funny...
因为我做饭洗碗 because I do the dishes and the cooking, too...
但是他们忘了 Susie比我年轻多少 but they forget how much younger Susie is than I am.
至于偶尔多来一点马提尼 And as for an extra martini once in a while....
请允许我再问一个问题 And so you'll please forgive me another question, Captain.
你难道就没有害怕的时候吗 Aren't you sometimes a little afraid?
...烈酒 她曾经叫我... ...it's spirit. You know, she once called me....
你是吗 Are you?
你知道吗 毫无缘由的 Are you now, for no reason at all...
等你看到她是怎么对待我卖给她的那块硬木的 You wait till you see what she does with that hardwood tray I bought her.
...将近两百万英里之后... ...after almost 2 million miles...
...也许是在她买的那个吧台旁... ...maybe beside the little bar she bought...
...怕吗 ...afraid?
...我不在的时候 帮助她排遣寂寞 ...to keep herself company while I'm away.
她会向拜访的人们展示 She'll show it to everyone who drops in...
他们在我离开的时候陪伴她 to keep her company when I'm away.
但它就在那里 But it's there.
就像是你腹部捆着重物 It's like a heavy bundle in your belly.
你甚至都能摸到 You can almost touch it.
她大部分时间都开着它... She spent most of her time riding around in it...
这样她就不会太寂寞 so she wouldn't get too lonesome.
可能她开得有点快了 Guess she drove a little too fast....
它曾经临到很多人 现在也临到你 毫无因由的 It's come like it has to so many others for no reason at all...
而且... And besides....
...也许除了那两百万英里的劳累和眼泪 ...except maybe the wear and tear of those 2 million miles.
...因为车子看起来看起来超速了 ...because they look like they're going faster than they really are.
就像去年12月那个酒保告诉我的... Like what the bartender told me last December...
她被发现喝醉了... when she was picked up for being drunk in and about....
他们会给你一张证书的 They'll give you a certificate for those
让你把那两百万英里挂在家里墙上 2 million miles to hang on a wall at home.
只是 那张证书并不值得那些劳累和眼泪 Only, the certificate doesn't add up to the wear and tear.
...用词不对 但是她有那种精神* ...but the wrong word. It's spirit she's got.
Dan知道的 Dan knows about it.
老前辈会说那只是暂时的... All the old timers say it's only temporary...
就像慢慢增长的痛苦 like growing pains.
就像她上次留给我的便条 Like this note she left me on my last trip.
现在 毫无因由的 And now, it's here for no reason at all...
你要与之抗争 and you've got to fight it...
独自一人 all alone.
欢迎回家 "Welcome home, fatso.
我太累了 等不了了 你自己打车吧 "Got sleepy and couldn't wait so you take a taxi.
回到家进厨房的时候 "Don't make any racket when you
别闹出太多声响 come home banging around the kitchen...
早上不要叫醒我 爱你的 Susie "and don't wake me up in the morning. Love, Susie."
多幽默啊 What a sense of humor.
终有一天 他们会发明一种适合驾驶员的椅子 Someday, they're going to invent a stool for navigators...
符合人体结构的好椅子 that'll come somewhere near fitting the human frame.
问问Hobie 看看能不能让螺旋桨更和谐 Ask Hobie if he can't synchronize the props a little better.
我不知道是一号还是三号 I don't know whether it's Number 1 or Number 3...
但肯定有一个有问题 烦到我了 but one of them keeps slipping out. It's getting on my nerves.
好的 Okay.
机长说 你们什么毛病 Skipper says, "What's the matter with you?
都不能让螺旋桨协调统一吗 Can't you keep the props together?"
已经协调好了啊 They are together.
机长说有问题 Skipper says they're out of phase.
一号二号没有一点问题 One and 2 are as smooth as silk.
-三号四号也是 -好吧 -So are 3 and 4. -So be it.
飞行员说没有任何问题 The boys say the props couldn't be smoother.
是吗 Yeah?
有事不对劲 Well, there's something haywire.
您没事吧 Briscoe先生 Are you all right, Mr. Briscoe?
没事 All right?
小姑娘 我现在极其不安* Little girl, I'm getting along like $10 million.
您想喝点什么吗 Can I get you something?
也许一杯茶会帮助您缓解紧张 Perhaps a cup of tea would taste good to you.
-那是什么 -五点了 -What was that? -It's 5:00.
-它还会响 -你听到了 -You mean it chimes? -You heard it.
有意思 只有这一样东西 Funny thing. It happens to be the last possession...
我没有过户给别人 I haven't signed over to someone else.
希望它能再次响 I wish it would chime again.
这种计时方法真有趣 What a wonderful way to keep track of the time.
如果我有这样一块表 我会迫不及待地盼望下一小时的来临 If I had a watch like this, I couldn't wait for the next hour to come...
还有再下一小时 and then the next one.
知道吗 我曾经也是这种感觉 You know something? I used to feel the same way.
但是现在 我可不着急让时间赶快过去 But right now I'm in no hurry for the hours to pass.
不 表是你的了 我想送给你 No, the watch is yours. I want you to have it.
-这我可不能接受 -拿着吧 -I couldn't think of accepting it. -Please.
我不需要表 A watch is the last thing I'm going to need.
它能让时间变得有趣 I'd like to think of it marking the kind of hours...
一个年轻姑娘 only a young girl can have...
她的时间才有趣 exciting hours.
如果你接受 我会很开心 You'll make me very happy if you'll accept it.
好吧 您都这么说了 Well, if you put it that way.
太谢谢您了 I can't thank you.
我从未遇到过您这样的人 I've never met anyone like you...
我会永远记住您的 yet I shall remember you for the rest of my life.
我倒希望你只把这当做一个物件 I'd rather you remember it's only a possession...
不值太多钱的 and so, not worth very much.
我会的 I will, always.
我们可以再次听到它响 需要核对时间 We can hear it chime together again, it needs setting, you know.
-现在是旧金山七点 -当然 我忘记了 -It's 7:00 in San Francisco. -Sure. I forgot.
真的是七点吗 姑娘 Is it really 7:00, little girl?
就这架飞机来说 是的 As far as this airplane is concerned.
那你知道吗 我不想要茶或咖啡 Then you know something? I don't want tea or coffee.
-来杯水吗 -水是用来泡澡的 -A glass of water? -Water is for bathing...
如果你能加点威士忌进去 我会很喜欢 but if you can put some Scotch in it, I'll feel cleaner.
好的 先生 Yes, sir.
-现在已经过了我的鸡尾酒时间 -马上送来 -It's way past my cocktail time. -Right now.
我的这位朋友呢 你想和我一起喝一杯吗 先生 How about my friend over there? Will you join me for a drink, mister?
好 非常感谢 Yes, thank you very much.
那音乐太好听了 That's awful nice music.
我们提前了四分钟 机长 We picked up four minutes, Skipper.
看来风终于转过来了 Looks like that wind is finally swinging around now.
很好 Good.
我可能要见证奇迹了 准时到达旧金山 I may pass a miracle and hit San Francisco right on time.
-要火吗 -不了 谢谢 -Have a Lifesaver, Skipper? -No, thanks.
过了不归点*告诉我一声 好吗 Let me know, will you, when we pass the point of no return?
当然 Naturally.
Lydia 如果你生完气了 Lydia, if you're through pouting...

就是为了当领导 让自己感觉很重要 ...just to make yourself feel important, the big operator.
用我的钱 Operating on my money.
我只是希望早上醒来 感觉自己所得的一切 I just want to get up in the morning with the feeling that anything I accomplish that day...
是因为自己的努力 is due to my own efforts.
而不是因为我妻子是个富有的继承人 Not because my wife happened to inherit a business.
三年之内 我会连本带利地还给你 In three years I should be able to pay you back. Every penny.
在荒郊野岭待三年 我会变成真正的乡巴佬 Three years in the wilderness and I'd be a genuine country bumpkin...

一切都是极好的 everything with you is hunky-dory.
麻烦缠身的人总是这么说 That's the first thing a fella in trouble always says.
疯人院里的人也都这么跟自己说 The booby hatches are full of people that keep things to themselves...
不管他们是害怕 不敢说出真相 either because they're scared to tell them the truth...

演讲台上 有一块巨大的毛巾 Over the speaker's desk, they've got a great big towel...
上面绣着"大声哭泣吧" with the letters "For Crying Out Loud" embroidered on it.
每个人都有自己的哭泣毛巾 明白吗 And every member has his own crying towel, get it?
当他们遇到坏事时 一些友好的邻居 When they bring in a bad case, a couple of the Good Neighbors...
就会帮他拿着毛巾 让他尽情哭泣 hold the towel for the fella so he can concentrate on weeping...
那样他就不用再麻烦自己 and then don't have to exert himself in any other way.
那种聚会虽然老式 但是个不错的恢复精力的方法 It turns out to be a good old-fashioned revival meeting...
而在场没有什么担心的人 and the fella who has no particular worries at the time...
会觉得有点格格不入 he sort of feels left out of things.
就算他没有大笑出来 And if this fella don't actually wind up laughing at himself...
至少也是感觉好多了 at least he feels better.
最主要的是 每个人都感觉好多了 The main thing is, everybody does...
因为百分之九十的情况下 because nine times out of 10...

你们聚会结束时唱什么歌呢 What do you sing at the end of your meetings?
把烦恼装进旧行囊 Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag?

或是他妻子撞烂了车 or his wife just smashed up the car...
或是他的新房子地基处有裂缝 or his new house shows cracks along the foundation...
他们内心会感觉很悲伤 they've got an organ that plays real sad music.
那很伤人 It's a kick.
看出来了 I can see how it might be.
当然 人从来不会遇到... Of course, a fella never comes in...
真正的麻烦 with real troubles.
比如... You know, like...
一个人的妻子快死了 the guy's wife dying...
或是生意快破产了 or his business really going broke.
他们只是坦白一些小麻烦 They just confess little problems...
比如他们让谁剪草坪 like who are they gonna get to mow the lawn...
谁的高尔夫打得好 or will they ever break 100 on the golf course?
都是相关的 It's all relative, see.
在小麻烦来临的时候 You get the habit of laughing at little problems...

当真正的严重的问题来临时 and then you don't blow your top...
你就不用太难过 你就知道如何应对 明白吗 when the genuine, serious things happen. Get it?

Ed Joseph 我是卖家具的 Ed Joseph. I sell furniture.
回到你刚刚的情况 如果我哭泣一下 Getting back to your case, maybe it'd make you feel better...
可能会让你感觉好一些 if I cried some.
那你就明白友好的邻居的意思了 Then you'd understand what the Good Neighbor means.
想象你自己拿着一块毛巾 Imagine yourself with a towel.
准备好了吗 Ready?
四年多来 我和妻子缩衣节食 The wife and I scrimped for over four years...
想去夏威夷 to take a trip to Hawaii.
棕榈树 阳光 沙滩... You know, palm trees, sunshine, sand...
就是家乡没有的东西 things we ain't got at home.
我们梦想着出发的那一天 We dreamed of the day that we were to leave.
我妻子说服一个女人帮我们照看四个孩子 So, the wife persuades a woman to take care of our children...
一天十美元 for $10 a day...
那比我在结婚最开始的五年挣得还多 which is more than I made the first five years we were married.
我们放好了行李 心情激动 We got all unpacked and were really living...
可是船根本没开 罢工什么的 but the ship don't sail. Strike or something.
但是没关系 我们很幸运 我们买到了最后两张飞机票 But all right, we're lucky. We get the last two tickets on an airplane...
虽然我们无法带上全部的行李 and although we can't take all our luggage...
但我们到达了梦想之地 we're in the land of our dreams.
我们住上了符合预算的小酒店 At the little hotel that fits our budget...
预定时有一点小误会 there's a mix-up in the reservations.
还有另一对来自密尔沃基的跟我们同名的夫妇 Another couple named Joseph from Milwaukee.
我们想着可能他们也梦想着这次旅行 So we figure maybe they've had a dream, too.
所以我们就让给了他们 So we don't start any arguments.
我们最终住上了一家远超过我们预算的酒店 We finally wind up at a hotel which is way beyond our budget.
所以只能缩短行程 So we have to cut our trip short.
好吧 一天晚上... Okay? Comes evening...
我妻子穿上她仅带的一件裙子 the wife gets into the one evening dress she could bring along...
我穿上了十年未穿的礼服 and I get into a tux I haven't had on in 10 years.
妈妈 Mommy!
我们准备好开开心心地玩儿了 We were ready for the light fantastic.
我妻子穿着新高跟鞋 The wife was wearing new shoes with heels
比她平常穿的高很多 much higher than she was used to and....
我的背 My back.
医生说我妻子扭到了骶骨关节 The house doctor says the wife has twisted her sacroiliac...
跳舞也就此终止 which ends the dancing for the trip.
一切就那么过去了 So everything passes.
几天后 我妻子好多了 可以去海边了 In a couple of days the wife is well enough to hobble down to the beach.
可是却连下三天大雨 It rains bullfrogs for three straight days.
我们只能闲坐着 往家里寄送明信片 All we got to do is sit around and write postcards back home...
给他们说我们过得多开心 about what a wonderful time we're having.
我们只剩三天了 然后我们遇到了威尔逊夫妇 Three days we got left, then we meet the Wilsons.
旅途的乐趣之一就是旅途中所见的人 对吗 One of the pleasures of any trip should be the people you meet, right?
威尔逊夫妇有自己对乐趣的看法 The Wilsons had their own ideas of what was fun.
他觉得我妻子是他的菜 他妻子觉得我是克拉克 盖博 He thought my wife was his dish, and she thought I was Clark Gable.
我妻子因为扭伤 没办法快走 The wife can't run very fast on account of her sacroiliac.
我也有自己的麻烦 I'm having my own track meet.
除非是被那家伙的妻子 Fella, you have never lived...
在棕榈树旁追赶过 否则就不算是见过怪事 until you've been chased around the palm tree by that guy's wife.
所以我们的梦想之旅最后几天 是在酒店吃东西 So we spend the rest of our dream trip eating away from the hotel...
避免遇见他们 也就不用躲避他们 so we don't run into these people and have to play post office all the time.
最后一天 太阳出来了 But the last day the sun comes out.
怎么能不晒得黑黑的再回家呢 Whoever heard of coming home from a dream trip without a tan?
我们极度渴望 我们整天都待在大太阳下 We're desperate, see? We really soaked up that sun, all day.
我妻子肩部都是三级烫伤 The wife has a third-degree burn on her shoulders.
我都不敢让肩膀承受任何重量 I don't dare put any weight on my back.
回到家 我还得从银行贷款 I'm gonna have to borrow money from the bank...
支付下个月的食物费 如果我们能回到家的话 to pay next month's food bill, if we ever do get home.
听了我们的故事 如果你还觉得自己有麻烦... If you still think you got troubles, mister....
你和太太能否赏脸和我共饮一杯呢 Wonder if you and Mrs. Joseph would care to join me in a drink?
你现在可以把哭泣毛巾拿回去了 You can have your towel back now.
Dan 你休息会儿 我来开 Take a breather, Dan. I'll turn the knobs awhile.
好的 我正想眯一会儿 Good, I could use a little shuteye.
四个引擎隆隆作响 人还能睡得着 Funny thing how a fella can sleep with four big engines hollering in his ears...
醒来的时候 它们已经不响了 only wake up when they stop hollering.
想象一下 在家里安静地醒来 Imagine silence waking you up at home?
没人会受得了的 No human being should have to put up with such an arrangement.
旧金山 2930 San Francisco tollsman, 2930.

我有情况告诉你们 我们已经过了不归点 I got news for you guys. We just passed the point of no return.
-您丢什么东西了吗 Agnew先生 -我的打火机没气了 -Have you lost something, Mr. Agnew? -My lighter is out of fluid.
也许他以为他在船上... Maybe he thinks he's aboard ship...
活动活动 为晚餐开胃 and is trying to work up an appetite for dinner.
我曾见过一个疯子这么做 不怎么妙 I seen a crazy man act like that once. It ain't so nice.
他在找麻烦 He's looking for trouble.
你是Kenneth Childs 对吗 那不是你的名字吗 You're Kenneth Childs, aren't you? Well, isn't that your name?
是 怎么了 我们好像没见过 Yeah. Why? I don't think we've met before.
是 我们没见过 因为没人想让我们见面 No. We've not met because no one wanted us to.
您有什么事 What can I do for you?
我的名字是Humphrey Agnew My name is Humphrey Agnew.
想起什么吗 Well, does that mean anything to you?
-Agnew 你是Martha的丈夫 -是的 -Agnew. You're Martha's husband. -I am.
我没听到你说很高兴见到我 I didn't hear you say you were pleased to meet me.
-当然... -当然不了 -Of course-- -Of course not!
听着 Agnew先生 我和这位女士想安静地喝一杯 Look, Mr. Agnew, this lady and I are having a quiet drink together.
你看起来似乎被某事所烦 You seem to be disturbed about something.
也许我们可以一会儿再聊 请... Perhaps we can talk later. If you'll excuse--
不 你不能就这样打发我走 No, you don't just snap your fingers and send me on my way.
Agnew先生 我不知道你有什么烦心事 而且 我也不在乎 Mr. Agnew, I don't know what's eating you, and frankly, I don't care.
回你的座位去 好好待着 Why don't you go back wherever you came from and sit down.
-亲爱的 -这个家伙太烦人了 -Now, honey. -This man's a nuisance.
我不怀疑 我很烦人 I've no doubt I'm a nuisance.
你和我妻子算计着 I must have been an even greater nuisance...
不在火奴鲁鲁遇见我时 when you and my wife were scheming to avoid me in Honolulu...
-我肯定更烦人 -你疯了 -so you could be alone. -You're right out of your head.
我两次请你妻子吃午餐 是因为她人很好 I took your wife to lunch twice because she was a very nice girl.
很久以前 她曾为我工作 And a long time ago she happened to work for me.
她犯下的最恶劣的行径 也就是跟我握手 The worst crime she is guilty of is shaking my hand.
别侮辱她了 也别自己出丑了 走开 Now stop insulting her and making a fool of yourself. Beat it.
我就知道你会有冠冕堂皇的解释 I knew you'd have some fancy explanation.
我不像你们想象得那么笨 But I'm not such a fool as you and my wife think I am.
好好想想我会做什么吧 I'm going to let you wonder what I'm going to do.
好好想想 就像我一直在做的那样 Wonder and think and think, as I've been doing.
我听你的名字听了很多年 听到你的名字就厌烦 I've heard about you for years and I'm sick of the sound your name.
你对女人很有一套 不是吗 You're quite a conqueror with the ladies, aren't you?
你会感兴趣的 女士 That should interest you, madam.
-够了 -你们干什么 -I've had enough of this. -What's the matter with you guys?

我的眼 My aching eyes!
This might well be my last show and not a laugh in it.
我不该尖叫 但是我太害怕了 I shouldn't have screamed, but I was so scared.
我的心都要跳出来了 My own heart is just returning from the ceiling.
有麻烦 等我告诉我的有好的邻居 Troubles? Wait till I tell the Good Neighbors about this.
我刚才都快睡着了 却有人拔开了香槟瓶塞 I was almost asleep when someone pulled the champagne cork.
有意思 This could become interesting.
这事发生之前 事情还挺有意思的 Things were pretty interesting before this happened.
Two apes were trying to kill each other.
Why don't you be a good boy and go back and sit down.
I'm sure everything will be all right.
They'll come back from the flight deck and explain in a minute.
I'm just gonna keep this for you till we make San Francisco.
You can get in plenty trouble with them things.
I'll get coffee for everyone.
-Did you know space guns don't kill you?
-No.
They just make you stiff.
You know, the funny part of all this...
is that for the first time in my whole life, I'm innocent.
What I told him was the truth, so help me.
This is gonna cost the taxpayers a lot of money.
What would you have them do? Swim home?
No Alameda, this is the Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Center.
-New position, Skipper! -Name it!
To the coast, 5 hours, 47 minutes, if we can hold this air speed.
-How's our fuel? -Enough. Just.
We'll only need about 1,150 gallons, we've 1,300 according to my graph.
-It's pinching things close-- -You can throw your graph away.
-Because we haven't got 1,300 gallons. -How do you figure that?
The Number 1 tank. It read 200 gallons when we lost our prop.
My guess is that when the prop left us...
it kicked holes in the wing. Ruptured the tank.
We just can't make it this way. I'll figure it up again, but the winds...
-maybe they'll change some. -We're going into the drink.
It's just a question of when and where.
We've got plenty of time. Let's not rush off
into the heat of the day about this.
Let's hold on a while and see what the wind does.
-We'll be closer to the coast. -Water will be colder there.
And probably rougher, but I still think
we should stretch it out as long as we can.
I'll go along with you on that.
It'll give us more time to get squared away.
I want you up here with me when we really start down.
Meantime get everything you can overboard.
Thousand pounds or so will make a difference in our speed.
You want me to tell them they're going into the drink?
Use your own judgment.
I guess I don't have to tell you people that we've had a little trouble.
Maybe if I explain exactly what has happened...
you'll feel better all around.
I'm not gonna minimize it...
nor will I make it any tougher than it really is.
We've lost our Number 1 propeller.
This is just one of those things that never happens but does...
once in a billion flying miles.
We've extinguished the fire with the carbon dioxide...
so there's no further danger from that.
But our speed has been considerably slowed down...
because the Number 1 motor is partially twisted in its mountings...
causing a severe drag...
sort of like dragging your feet in a rowboat.
I can't blame you if you are a little scared, I am, too.
I've been flying since 1917...
and I don't like this sort of thing any better than you do.
However, with all that flying, you'll notice that...
I'm still very much alive.
Now comes the hard part.
-Can you take it? -Please, tell us everything.
I think we all want to know.
We're really very lucky. That propeller
could have done a great deal more damage.
Anyway, there are several holes in the wing, that's where our fuel is stored.
Which means that we can't quite make the California coast.
Can't we go back to Honolulu?
We'd already past the point of no return when it happened.
We will probably have to ditch this plane in the sea.
We'll all be killed.
There's just a chance that you'll only be in the water a few minutes.
There's a rescue plane already on its way to intercept us.
Before we actually have to go in there'll probably be several more.
Some of which can land on water.
And surface vessels will be directed toward us.
Airplanes have gone into the water before...
and no one received the slightest injury, except maybe a little dampening.
Casualties come from panic.
So you must not hurry.
Miss Spalding and our second officer, Mr. Wheeler, will be back here with you.
Do exactly as they tell you.
Airplanes have been known to float for so long that...
they became a menace to navigation and had to be sunk by gunfire.
They've been known to sink in a few minutes, too.
This is an inflatable life raft.
It's really a wonderful gadget.
It's got everything in it but T-bone steaks.
It will hold all of you very comfortably.
Mr. Wheeler, our second officer, will be in charge.
He will tell you when to take off your shoes.
We don't want anybody kicking holes in this raft.
Miss Spalding will show you where the emergency rations are...
when you get hungry.
How're we gonna get hungry if we're only
gonna be in the raft a few minutes?
Aren't you giving us a lot of malarkey?
Maybe a little, but we just don't want bad things said...
about the service and cuisine on this airline.
No doubt there'll be caviar.
It would be most arduous if there were no caviar.
I'll speak to the emergency chef.
I don't think this is anything to joke about.
You're wrong. The more jokes, the better.
When you get in that raft, you might even try singing.
I was once a fair-to-middling bass.
I can't carry a tune in a basket, but I'm sure loud.
Now, this is very important.
When we actually go in, there will be two shocks.
If you know about them in advance, they won't frighten you.
The first will be hardly noticeable, like a normal landing.
But the second may be quite severe, so brace yourselves.
Soon after that, the lights will go out...
but Miss Spalding and Mr. Wheeler both have flashlights.
So unfasten your seat belts and wait for his call.
And keep calm.
Now, is there anything you don't understand?
Could we send a radio message to our families?
They were gonna meet us at the airport. They will be standing.
I'm sorry, our radio is extremely busy...
giving our position and contacting the rescue plane.
I've some important papers in my briefcase, many years of work.
Can I take them with me?
Not unless you can stuff them in your pockets.
No baggage of any kind.
Come to think about it...
the bottom of the sea is the best place for them.
And one thing more. Now, don't get your hopes up.
There is one chance in a thousand that we can make the coast.
This isn't possible unless there is a marked change in the wind.
And according to our forecast, it just couldn't happen.
But it could. And the one thing we can do right now to help matters...
is to lighten ship. That way we'll use slightly less fuel.
If any of you gentlemen have ever had an urge to throw things out of windows...
this is your chance of a lifetime.
What about us girls? I love to throw things.
Good, go back and help Miss Spalding.
I'd better stick with the wife. She's awfully worried about our children.
Please, let me help.
I'll sue the airline for this, I'm not supposed to exert myself.
-The doctor says my heart-- -Your heart is breaking my heart.
We can get rid of some of this baggage if you gentlemen will come with me...
and the rest of you form a line clear back to the door.
My new Mainbocher frock is in here.
The insurance company isn't gonna like this.
What a wonderful excuse to get a new wardrobe.
Be kind of nice if he came through all this...
and didn't know a thing about it.
I need a big man.
Interested?
-Fascinated. -Grab me around the waist.
I'll start kicking things out, but be careful.
Keep behind me, it's lonesome out there.
That does it.
Now all we have to do is wait.
Excuse me.
My kids, they like to hear me play this.
-Aren't you coming back to our seat? -I'm staying here.
I can't stand that crying townie.
Hobie, give me 2,250 rpm.
Crack the cowl flaps. Watch those head temperatures.
Give me another inch of boost!
Look at the fuel, Skipper, the flow meters, we're pouring it in.
I can't help it. This turbulence is slowing us
down and we can't climb out of it!
Have a cup of coffee.
-I'm plenty hot enough now. -Then it will cool you off.
Of course you're worried, Mrs. Joseph.
But I'm quite certain we'll get out of this all right.
By tomorrow we can look back on it as an interesting experience.
By the by, how old are your children?
Jennifer is six and Edward is four.
Jennifer is such a delightful name, Mrs. Joseph. How fortunate you are.
Jennifer has always brought to me the suggestion of the Scottish moor...
heather, great peace...
and visions of little villages nestled against the hills.
That sort of thing.
Is your Jennifer anything like that?
I don't know exactly what you mean, but she's always been a quiet child.
Precisely.
Somehow I knew your Jennifer would be like that.
And Edward, I've no doubt, is growing so fast you can't buy shoes for him.
Every three weeks.
Why don't you try to rest now?
Later I'd like to hear a great deal more about your children.
I thought you hated the mere mention of children.
I do.
But that poor woman is terrified. I think I helped her.
For 10 years you've said that love was a word in the dictionary...
and children were monsters.
And you would never go two inches out of your way to help anybody.
What goes, Gustave?
I've never seen you this way.
You've forgotten yourself for a whole hour.
You've been magnificent.
Exaggeration is a foolish indulgence.
You told that woman we'd get out of this all right.
-Do you really believe that? -No.
In spite of what that pilot said, I think we're batting at a very sticky wicket.
-And yet you're not afraid? -Yes and no.
I'm not sure just how I feel.
If I were openly afraid now, some of the others might become so.
I was guilty of the cheapest theatrics right after the fire...
and now it seems, I'm stuck with it.
I just want to know one thing.
What happened to the biggest baby in the world?
The child-man who was afraid to sleep with the lights off.
You used to burst into tears if the laundry put starch in your shirts...
or the crepe suzette was underdone.
I don't understand you, Gustave. I guess I never will.
Maybe it isn't important to understand you...
like the other women you've always managed to keep around.
I've tried to tell myself I made a bargain with a throwback, a Roman emperor.
You bought me on the market, Gustave, paid for me...
like you might pay for a play which you thought might turn out well.
For 10 years I've lived with that thought and hated it.
Now it'll never bother me again.
Gustave, there is something I'd like to tell you.
And if we don't get out of this, I'd like you to know it even more.
I've never said it before...
and probably you'll never want me to say it again.
What else is on your twisted little mind?
I'm in love with you, Gustave.
I guess I always have been.
And then you tie the ribbons like this.
These preservers are not inflated now.
If you jerk this cord on either side...
carbon dioxide will be released from the capsules...
and the vest will inflate immediately.
That's all there is to it.
-Any calls for me? -Take your pick.
Boyd, public relations.
No, Tommy. We've not lost an airplane.
I'm standing right here in Operations and our plane is still in the air.
Yeah, we had a little trouble. No, I don't know the passengers' names.
Yeah, okay.
Where's Garfield? This jerk newspaper wants a statement from the manager.
He's on his way. He'll be here any minute.
Boyd, public relations.
Listen, Oswald, this airline has flown over 30 million passenger miles...
without ever scratching a passenger.
Sure we want to cooperate.
You'll get the straight dope, just give me time to get organized.
Goodbye.
Mr. Garfield, can you give me a minute?
Just about. What's your trouble?
The papers are on my neck already. What will I tell them?
How about "drop dead" for an opener?
-You know I can't do that. -I know.
-How long can you stall them? -I don't know, maybe an hour.
They're crying about morning editions.
An hour might be enough. We've got real trouble.
Does it look that bad?
It don't look good.
Is everything all right with you two?
I don't know when I've felt better in the last five years.
I've just elected Miss Chen as the girl I would most like to be on a life raft with.
Of course, now, she may prefer a younger man.
There is in my family a very old saying.
I will try to translate it for you.
"The youth of man will never die...
"unless he murders it."
I plead not guilty.
I just want to show you how to use your life vest.
My neck won't stand any weight...
and my bones are only held together by my imagination.
A burial at sea will save my heirs a lot of money.
-I'm ashamed of you for talking like that. -Why do that?
You just look more comfortable that way, Mr. Briscoe.
You impress me as the open-collar type anyway.
Rugged, you know.
-Outdoorsy, you mean? -Yes.
You behave yourself. I'll be coming back
to make sure you're being nice to Miss Chen.
It's a rough assignment for an outdoor man without his horse...
but I'll do my best.
Would you like to put your vests on now?
Investigation will undoubtedly prove
this airplane was ready for the junk heap.
We're in the hands of incompetence.
I don't want to make no trouble, but why don't you shut up?
You hate me, don't you?
All of you hate me because I tried to do what was right.
Do like the little lady says.
Don't touch me, please.
You're giving me a very bad time, Mr. Agnew. I'm only trying to help you.
I have a perfect right--
You got no rights at all for some time to come.
Do like she says or no life vest is gonna keep you from drowning...
because I'm gonna hold your head under till you stop wiggling.
If we should happen to go down, I'll give you plenty of warning.
Cross your arms like this right in front of your face.
Brace your hands on the seat just ahead.
Bend your head down between your arms...
and keep them there until we've stopped completely.
Remember to remove your shoes.
-You men should loosen your collar and tie.
-Why?
According to the ditching instructions...
there is less possibility of breaking your neck.
Anything from 420?
Not a sound out of them, sir.
Those people, if they have to ditch tonight...
with the way that wind's kicking up that sea...
they don't stand much of a chance, I'm thinking.
Cristobal Trader from San Francisco.
We can work the aircraft clearly now. Thanks for your help. Over.
Good.
Cristobal Trader over and out.
How about letting me take over for a while? Save yourself for later.
-We'll need you. -All right.
Hey, Skipper, it will be almost dry tanks.
Maybe 20 or 30 gallons left. But if the winds are right we can make it.
We picked up four minutes in the past hour. I figured it all out.
If we can pick up a total of 11 minutes, we're safe.
Hey, Skipper, the interceptor is calling us.
We estimate our position at 145 miles east of you.
Expect interception in approximately 20 minutes.
Get a bearing on him.
We will transmit every three minutes from now on.
When your needle begins to fluctuate rapidly, advise us immediately.
We will then be very close to you.
You should have a bearing by now. How about it?
We're gonna make it.
Five degrees north of our course. We're awful glad to know you're around.
We know what you mean. Say, can you guys climb any higher?
Out of this stuff interception would be a lot easier.
Negative. We can climb, but we don't want to use the fuel to do it.
Every gallon's a mile nearer shore for us.
Okay. We'll find you anyway.
-Are you still afraid? -No, my darling.
I don't mean the airplane. I mean us, our future.
I'm not afraid of anything now.
I can't hear you.
How could I ever be afraid when you hold me like this?
-I love you. -Darling.
No.
Just think where we are.
I'm thinking how awful it would be...
if this was the last time I could hold you so.
-We'll have years, all our lives. -If this airplane makes it.
Careful, darling.
Howard.
I thought you weren't speaking to me.
Would you be sorry if I drowned?
-Don't be ridiculous. -I have to know.
I'd be more than sorry.
You could go off to your North woods.
It's occurred to me that trying to make a go at that mine...
might turn out to be a bad dream.
But it is a dream, Howard, your dream.
It was.
I could switch things back. I suppose that would please you.
I'd only lose you.
A few hours ago, you insisted on getting rid of me.
At times I'm a very stupid and selfish woman.
I think you should go up to your mine.
That's you.
And you might take me along for laughs.
I'm hearing things.
You'd be miserable.
No doubt.
But I want you.
The guy I had sense enough to marry.
If I choke on hotcakes, or try to put evening gowns on the natives...
or have cocktails with the sled dogs, you'll just have to be patient with me.
You don't have to, but I wish you would.
Mush! That's what you say to a sled dog, isn't it?
I want to start practicing.
Makes them turn left, if you yell it loud enough.
You're very good.
-Can you get that through to Sullivan? -I can try.
-Everything else buttoned up? -Yes, sir.
-Any improvement in the local weather? -I'm afraid not.
-Radar, anything yet? -No target, sir.
Navigator, how's our position for interception?
Dead on. Just got a loran fix.
We should be joining now, if their navigator is anywhere near right.
-Radar? -No target, sir.
-Somebody's wrong. -We should be right on top of them.
We can easily miss this guy.
No target, sir.
That navigator's wacky. We're already seven minutes overdue.
Radar?
Target, Skipper. Strong blip. Four degrees left, eight miles.
Looks like he's 500 feet below us.
Made a mistake, didn't you, fatso?
What happened to the 11 minutes you were counting on?
What happened to them, fatso?
You never could make them up, you just thought you could.
-Lennie, what about it? -Hang on, Skipper. I'm still checking.
Time's wasting, fatso. Stop shaking.
Find the minutes, and you can come back to me.
Minutes.
Who's got the minutes?
Your Susie's got them, right here.
Come on, Lennie. What's holding things up?
The Coast Guard says your position's wrong.
I'll be right with you, Skipper.
Skipper?
I got bad news.
The Coast Guard was right. I made a dumb kid's mistake.
We're not as close to the coast as I thought we were.
I was figuring in knots instead of miles.
I guess I was just scared.
What about those 11 minutes?
They can make the difference between the water and your own bed.
They aren't there.
They never were there.
I'm sorry, Skipper.
I hope this will float.
I am so excited about your arrival, Sally.
Tomorrow, I'll leave these mountains
and pines, which will be your home, too...
and go down to the city for my first visit in over a year.
I want to get there a few days before you arrive...
because there are some things this cabin needs...
to make it more comfortable for a girl.
I'm still scared you won't like it up here...
unless you're nuts about the sound of a mountain stream...
or love to watch the sun seem to turn a mountain peak around very slow.
Hey, Henry.
One of our neighbors just came by to say hello.
A little fawn I call Henry.
He seems to ask, "Where is Sally? Where is your wife?"
So hurry, girl!
So you'll be sure to recognize me at the airport...
I'll be wearing a bright green tie.
P.S. I was just thinking how lucky I am.
I happened to pick up an old torn magazine...
and there is your picture, smacking me right between the eyes.
And only a short time later, that very wonderful-looking little girl...
is coming to share my life.
Remarkable.
What's so remarkable?
Is it faith or just habit that compels a woman...
to put on fresh makeup before boarding a life raft?
Aren't you jumping the gun?
You're being a fatalist about this business then?
I'm not sure I even know what a fatalist is.
How can you sit there so calmly then,
when a little while ago you were terrified?
I sat down here with you because I thought I might be able to help you.
But I'm not needed.
If you came over to give me help...
it was partly because you needed help yourself...
very badly.
Don't worry about me.
I've just stopped worrying about losing something...
I never had a chance to get in the first place.
Would the thing be a man? Or am I getting too personal?
You are.
I don't care anymore.
I've been kidding myself long enough.
I'm not gonna run away anymore.
What are you hiding from?
Myself.
He's a kind, clean, wonderful man.
He has a right to know what kind of a person I am.
I'm going to tell him...
that I'm a different kind of person than he thinks I am.
I'm not wonderful...
not kind, I'm not clean.
Telling you these things is easy, because you're a stranger...
and I'll never see you again.
Telling him is....
It's going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life...
'cause in my heart...
I'll always see him...
and even when he turns his back and walks away.
Look at my face.
Wouldn't you walk away?
I'm so much older than my years have made me.
Look at my face carefully, as he'll do.
You'll see how very old I am.
I'm beat.
I'll make a swell-looking bride.
A beat bride.
But I'm not afraid anymore.
Now that I know what's going to happen, I'm almost happy.
So, I wasn't making up my face a few minutes ago.
I was looking in the mirror, at me.
Does that answer your question, mister?
I was mistaken.
You aren't a fatalist. You're a very courageous young lady.
Maybe some of it will brush off on me if I keep sitting here.
Maybe I can throw a few things out of my own life.
-Cigarette? -No, thanks. I don't use them things.
-Do you have to do that? -Yeah.
Could I have my property back now?
-Why? -It would mean a great deal to me.
Take away this feeling of being constantly watched.
I'm all right, now. Quite calm. You can trust me.
Sit down.
You got lots to think about, and maybe not so much time for to do it.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners...
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven...
hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come....
Sparks, get on the horn.
Advised interception completed at 56.
Okay, Dan. I'll take over.
Go back now. Take the Gibson girl, get the passengers all set.
You'll have plenty of time.
Turn on the seat belt sign 10 minutes before we start for the water.
Good luck, you guys.
-Anything new with the wind, Lennie? -No.
We're not very fat, then?
-If we only had 11 minutes more of fuel. -Eleven minutes? Is that all you need?
-Are you sure? -I know exactly where we are now.
Eleven minutes more of fuel would see us through.
What increase in wind velocity would we need to arrange that little thing?
Twenty knots in the next hour.
-That's asking a lot. -Yeah.
It couldn't happen so I'm not asking.
But if the wind swung around a little more in the tail...
it could be.
I guess they'll pick us up before we get too damp.
Susie will sure be worried.
She'll lay down the law. Probably insist I quit flying.
Will you?
No.
-Everything's here. I just hope it works. -It will.
Wouldn't you rather not have to depend on it?
-What do you mean? -Suppose we didn't ditch.
You've got to.
Lennie says all we need is 11 extra flying minutes to make land.
Sullivan's the captain. He says we ditch.
Would you think I was wrong if I tried to talk him out of it?
Maybe try a little luck?
Luck?
That's has-been thinking.
Wanna run out of fuel, right over San Francisco?
Wipe out a few bridges or apartment houses?
Sullivan's been over this ocean lots of times. He knows his business.
I've seen men act like this before.
Sometimes because of one thing or another...
fella stops thinking straight temporarily.
I've been flying a long time, Hobie.
Only, you're not the captain.
Maybe because your so-called luck...
ran out on you once down in South America.
This is no luck operation.
You better go back to your helmet and goggles.
Maybe.
Here it is, Lennie. Color may not become you...
-but it'll suffice you. -Thanks, for nothing.
About that 11 minutes, are you absolutely sure?
Absolutely.
Lennie says if we can pick up 11 minutes, we can make it.
He could be right.
It'll be rough down there. If we hit wrong, we've had it.
Maybe we ought to ease off a little on the power and save a few drops of fuel.
Any objections if I try it?
This won't work. She's going to stall on me.
That's no good. We'll blow another engine.
What's the difference? We'll blow them all if we ditch.
Put those controls back where they belong.
-Put those props back. -Nothing doing, Skipper.
That's an order!
Hang on, chum. You can do it. Now fly and let me pray.
We'll run out of gas, right over San Francisco.
Let's try out this way for a while. Don't be so anxious to go for a swim!
-She's starting to shake again. -Let her shake!
Let her mush down a few feet if you have to. We're saving fuel this way.
Hang on and fly!
-Did you call Sullivan's wife?
-Yes, sir. She's on her way to the airport.
-You didn't alarm her? -No.
I just told her, her husband was on his way, and that you wanted to see her.
Then she knows something's happened.
Probably. But her voice was quite calm.
How about the others?
Wheeler lives with another pilot, Dupree. There was no answer.
The same for Wilby.
I called his home and then a bar I know about.
His wife had been there, but she left about an hour ago...
drunk.
-The stewardess? -No, Spalding's mother isn't well.
Her father is out of town on business.
I wish I could tell them all together.
I think maybe they could help each other.
There isn't anybody listed on there for Dan Roman.
-Do you know any person close to him? -Yeah.
But I don't think you could reach her. Dan lives alone.
-Is everything all right? -Just great, junior.
This is a stunning garment.
I feel like a catcher for the Dodgers.
It's a frowsy looking shroud, if you ask me.
Baby.
I went through the first World War and the Blitz in London.
I was scared, but not like this.
I want to show you something cute. Want to see something cute?
I must be slipping.
No reaction, even from a man like you, who should appreciate such things.
Keep talking. Please. Keep talking.
I'm frightened.
Talking. Honey, you don't know what you're asking.
I'll tell you a good joke on me.
You know, I always dreaded the idea of becoming an old woman...
and from the way things look now, I won't have to worry about it anymore.
You know, I haven't been whistled at in years.
And the idea of growing roses...
for the rest of my life was really beginning to haunt me.
There ought to be a home for dames like me.
We should have organized.
You know, a house somewhere with no mirror in it.
Far away, where we'd never have to look at a young girl.
They have homes for unmarried mothers.
But everybody forgets about the girls who...
never quite managed to make things legal.
I think I could start one.
I can call it the "May Holst Home for Broken-down Broads."
I kind of like that, don't you?
Well, they're as ready now as they'll ever be.
-Can you take something else in your stride?
-I can try.
Good.
I want you to do me a favor.
Look, when I tell you, sit down there with your back against that seat...
stay there, no matter what else is going on.
Don't try to be a heroine because in those last few moments...
there isn't anything in the world you can do to help anybody.
You know, your face can improve any landscape.
I want you to keep it that way.
So the favor for me is this pillow.
Hold it tightly over your face, for yourself and for me.
With the wind and the sea neither God nor Sullivan...
can set this thing down tonight like an egg crate.
We might just as well slam into a mountain. Dan knows it. I know it.
And so does Sullivan.
Wilby, check your final position. I'm going to take her down.
-Wait a few more minutes. -Do as I say.
-But it looks like-- -Do as I say.
-Give him a few more minutes.
-I've already waited too long. Here we go.
No, we don't. Get a hold of yourself, you yellow....
420 is losing altitude, sir.
420, from Coast Guard.
Radar reports you descending. Are you going to ditch?
You are now below the minimum legal altitude for approaching the coast.
Time's wasting. You better climb or settle for the drink.
We're right with you. We'll follow you down. Advise immediately.
420 to Coast Guard.
We've been too busy to answer. Stand by.
We may have a change in plans.
Thirty minutes of fuel left. Cross-feed problem.
Throw the rule book away.
Highest obstruction, 1,950 feet...
so 2,200 will be safe.
Leonard, stand by electric altimeter, call out readings.
Nose tipped down, ship fly faster.
More efficient use of fuel against time.
Study approach book.
Air Traffic Control to clear area.
Direction finders on range station.
Start right now.
Dan?
Yeah?
Thanks.
Thanks for knocking some sense into my head.
-Someday I'll explain. -You don't have to.
We're not going to ditch. We'll make San Francisco the hard way.
-Any change in the wind, Lennie?
-We picked up three of those 11 minutes.
Bring me the approach chart for San Francisco.
Whistle me a tune, Dan.
I like music while I work.
-Can I get you something, Mr. Briscoe? -Yes. A ham sandwich.
I can't. Everything went overboard. Now you put on that vest.
Great service. You throw all the food
to the sharks, so you won't have to serve it.
Tell you what. Proposition.
I think Miss Chen will let me buy her a steak
in San Francisco, if you come along, too.
If you'll accept, I'll put on the vest.
Mr. Briscoe, you have yourself a deal.
-Take a breather, Dan. -Okay.
The Farallon Islands, any minute now.
-Don't go any lower. -No. I'll hold this altitude.
Get back and call out our altitude on the radio altimeter.
We'll make straight for the northwest leg of San Francisco range.
The area's been cleared and we're practically on the ground.
I like the way you said that.
Twenty-eight miles to go. He's made first base.
But if that guy runs out of fuel between here and the airport...
I don't know where he'll put that thing down...
except in the middle of Market Street.
Shut that thing off.
Well?
I'm going over to the terminal. If needed, I'll be in the control tower.
This is it. Ten minutes.
Come on, let's make a final check.
Inflate your vest, please.
-We're going down? -Yeah, but you'll be all right.
Take your time coming back to the door. Wait until I yell.
-Coast Guard plane still with us? -Right off our wing. He'll stick with us.
Put out your cigarette, please.
Inflate your vest, Mr. Childs. You too, Miss Holst.
-Some brassiere. -Don't smoke from now on. Good luck.
I really ought to take my briefcase.
Sorry, nothing doing. Inflate your vest, please.
I can't.
I'm terrified.
I can't seem to move.
Don't worry. Good luck.
-All set, you two? -We're still hungry.
Our steak date is postponed. Inflate your vest, please.
Maybe you should keep this.
I'd loved thinking it was mine, even if it was just for a few hours.
Nonsense. You can keep it as dry as I can.
If it's still working tomorrow night at 7:00...
take a cab to Ernie's restaurant on Montgomery street.
If it isn't working, come anyway.
Thanks.
We got them all to blow up, see?
Good work. Remember take your time coming back to the door.
You want?
No, thanks. Thanks just the same.
If anything happens to me, get in touch with my wife in Honolulu.
-Tell her I loved her. I was mistaken. -You tell her yourself, mister.
You'll be all right. I'm not worrying and I'll be the last guy off this airplane.
-Do you have to be? -That's what I get paid for.
-Seat belt tight? -I think so.
This is for real, isn't it?
I'm afraid so. Inflate your vest, please.
Well, even I might float.
Inflate your vest, please.
I don't want to die.
Ed, don't let me die. My babies, Ed.
Give her two of these when you can. They'll quiet her.
Stand by for anything. Sullivan is gonna try and make San Francisco.
-Can we? -I don't see how.
Technically, we're out of fuel right now.
We've bought it.
550 feet, Skipper. The coast hills must be coming up.
-Watch it! -400, a little less.
Hang on!
330.
250.
Ground's coming up fast!
200, Skipper. This ain't good.
180.
420, from Coast Guard.
Twin Peaks coming up on your left in a minute or so.
Remember those radio towers. Stay on course.
Don't descend anymore.
Thanks. We're trying not to.
150 feet, Skipper!
300 feet, Skipper. We must be past the hills.
400.
500. We're living!
420, this is San Francisco Towers. Special weather.
Ceiling, 300 feet. Visibility, one mile. Wind, west northwest.
Twenty to 25. Over.
Okay, San Francisco Tower. We'll make an ILS approach.
Turn the runway lights up full blast.
-Cone of silence. -Right with you, chum.
-We're cleared straight on down. -This is going to be a fast one.
Stand by, check me with flaps and gear.
Get the outer marker, Dan.
Outer marker identified. But we're way below our glide path...
so watch it, chum.
There's a 690-foot radio tower around here someplace.
Has to be behind us, we're right on the approach leg.
Let me know it when they're clear.
Feather it, Dan! Quick! No time to fool with it.
Give me full power on the other two.
-You see anything? -Not yet.
-Contact yet? -No.
-This is a sweater. -You're doing fine.
When we pass the inner marker, I'm shoving her down regardless.
Yeah.
Approach lights dead ahead. Maybe a mile.
Give her the gear.
Three green lights and pressure.
We can only stay in the air another 30 seconds.
-Full flaps. -Full flaps.
Now I lay me down to sleep.
Did you get hurt? Was anyone hurt at all?
Two more coming down now.
There's Mr. Pardee, the famous
producer. He'll give us some information.
-You're Gustave Pardee, aren't you? -I was. I'm not so sure now.
-Please leave us alone. We're very tired.
-Give us a few words about your flight.
I couldn't tell you. Not in a million words.
-What will your next production be? -It will take a little longer than usual.
-Next year, I hope. -Next year?
Now, please let us pass.
Sally!
Who are you?
Miss, just one statement.
-Tell us who you are. -What's your name?
-Why, it's a boy! -Little boy.
He'll sure have a story to tell his grandkids.
-Daddy wants you to come and see him. -I will, darling. I will!
Look at my space material.
-Here he is. Who's that? -Give us a statement.
Where's the nearest telephone? I have to call Honolulu, my wife.
-Over there. -Thanks.
No questions, please.
What happened?
Here she is.
Hold it right there. Thank you.
She must be in show business.
She's in show business, all right.
She's the star of the Follies!
Tell us your story.
Just one.
Papa!
Just a moment.
Listen, boys. I'm just a fisherman. I want to see my kids.
Thirty gallons, Mr. Garfield. That's all there was left in all the tanks.
Too little to really measure.
Tell this man we must have reservations
on the plane, first thing tomorrow morning.
We'll miss Elvira's party. It's important to you.
What's Elvira's party got to do with sled dogs?
Really, darling. Don't be tiresome.
We might as well play safe until you find out how things are going to turn out.
All right, Lydia.
Hello, Pete.
Meet us out front. We're going for our steaks.
Ten minutes, Mr. Briscoe, I'll be there for sure.
-Hi. -Hi, Mr. Garfield.
-I think your wife's waiting for you. -Yeah.
I don't want to keep her standing too long. We're expecting.
When you get rested, call me. We'll have a talk.
Yeah, sure.
Good night.
Good night, Mr. Garfield.
-Souvenir? -For my wife.
I guess the rain won't hurt it, better get it home though.
Susie will be waiting. Good night.
Well, I guess I better get going. Little past my bedtime.
You had 30 gallons left.
Yeah.
Good night. We'll get together soon.
Sure, chum.
So long.
So long, you ancient pelican.
