Airplane! Page #22

EXT. RUNWAY - NIGHT

McCroskey, dressed in wet suit and flippers and oxygen tank

is moving as though swimming under water.

McCROSKEY (v.o.)

I didn't know that the electric eel was

approaching so rapidly nor that hidden in

the coral reef was a family of poisonous

sea urchins.

EXT. RUNWAY - NIGHT

Lisa Davis and her mother enter ambulance. It pulls from

FRAME. We HEAR a loud screech and crash.

INT. COCKPIT - NIGHT

Kramer is still droning on.

KRAMER (v.o.)

(into mike)

...and they shall be for frontlets between

thine eyes, Ted. Neither they man servant,

nor they maid servant, nor thine ox, nor

thine ass.

EXT. RUNWAY - NIGHT

ROMANTIC MUSIC.

Striker and Elaine are alone on the runway. Behind them is

flight 209. They embrace and kiss as CAMERA ARCS around.

MUSIC SWELLS. Suddenly the ENGINES REV UP. Astonished, they

look up to the cockpit.

EXT. COCKPIT - NIGHT

Automatic pilot is at controls. He salutes Striker and

Elaine and winks at CAMERA.

EXT. RUNWAY - NIGHT

The plane begins to taxi on its belly, shooting off sparks

and making a tremendous scraping SOUND. Arm in arm, Striker

and Elaine wave good-bye as the plane takes off into the

night sky.

FADE OUT.
