We came here to get you.

Get on the f***ing plane!

Dump your cargo.

One minute.

I got a crazy idea:

Cargo out, people in.

Great!

Please!

You better hurry.

You gotta do it.

Otherwise you're just a 2nd Lemond

with a hipper rap.

Knock it off, will ya?

Goddamn!

Hey, Mother Theresa!

I was gonna do it anyway.

But I hate being lectured!

"Slightly hipper rap?"

Let's go! Quickly!

Get up front and give it some stick!

Those shells are close.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome aboard Air America Flight 1.

You can unfasten your seatbelts

as soon as we're out of gun range.

I'd like to

apologize for that ground delay.

We experienced material turbulence.

On entertainment channel 3

you can hear music from

that group "Gene Ryack and

the Redemption!"

The Captain now has to explain to his

family what he did with their savings.

Our flight path

takes us over Anaheim

Azusa and the Mekong Delta

to...

Where we going?

You're gonna help me make

my money back that you lost.

I made you lose it?

I merely suggested.

Do not blame me for the single

decent act of your adult life.

Besides, where do I get the money?

Here at crazy Gene's we've slashed

the prices on used C 123's.

For your private army...

Forget it!

No more problems

with those pesky border troops!

This plane is US Government property.

The US Government doesn't exist

in Laos. Neither does this plane.

Right.

We'll do what we do best.

We fly!
