Tired of his constant fixation on drinking and television, Herk's wife Anna and daughter Jenny decide to find new love interests in divorced dad Eliot Arnold and his son Matt. To add more complication, two thieves decide to steal the case and lead a Miami police team and two FBI agents on a wild goose chase that ends inside the Miami airport terminal.

It means

the rear door's open.

I can't fly the plane much

longer with those stairs down.

Eddie, pull up those stairs

and close the door.

Eddie -

Eddie,

stop screwing around.

Okay, confirm

they got him on radar.

What does he mean

they have them on radar?

Give me a second.

You're gonna shoot

that plane down.

You can't do this. There's

innocent people on that plane.

If that nuke goes off over

Freeport, many innocent people die.

Now, nobody likes this,

okay?

But this has been discussed,

believe me,

as high as it can be,

every scenario.

- And this is the only way out.

- How soon?

When the plane is over the Gulf Stream

- three minutes.

- What about the kid's father? maybe he made it onto the plane.

- Let's say he did.

Is he, by any chance, familiar

with a Russian nuclear warhead

with a plutonium rod encased

in a terillium core?

I believe

he's in advertising.

Eddie.

Get up.

Get up, you lazy sh*t.

He's not lazy.

He's unconscious.

miami Tower, this is, uh...

Fly By Air 2036.

- 38.

- Whatever.

What?

What did he say?

What? What?

They heard from the pilot.

H- Hang on.

You tell them get that suitcase

off the plane right now.

You understand me?

Right now!

Get the suitcase

off the plane!

The suitcase - get it off!

Get it off the plane!

All:
Get the suitcase

off the plane!

No!

Let go of the suitcase!

The kingpin will never let go

of the kingpin's suitcase!

It's a bomb!

It's a bomb!

Get it off the plane!

Have it your way!

It's gone!

The suitcase is gone!

Falcon One, Falcon One,

break off.

I repeat, break off.

Do you read?

Jenny; Mom, mom, listen to

this! It's totally incredible!

- It's the most amazing story.

- Oh!

You should've seen matt's dad.

Seriously intense.

He smashed that really dumb guy

on the head

with the fire extinguisher,

which was very cool.

And then that guy, Snake, he had

a gun, and he shot at Matt's dad.

Then Matt's dad started beating

the crap out of him.

Then Matt's dad said, like he

was some sort of action hero,

"He's not lazy.

He's unconscious... "

Eliot:

I had to outrun a plane

and subdue two convicts

with a nuclear weapon

to get matt's respect...

Good job, dad.

...But it was worth it.

Seitz; Mr. Arnold?

Agent Alan Seitz, FBl.

The president thanks you for

your selfless act of courage.

Because he can never admit to

knowledge of what happened here,

in lieu

of a medal of honor,

he'd like to send you

a pair of cowboy boots

with a "W" on them

and a hat.

Sorry for any trouble,

folks.

Eliot:
Eddie Leadbetter

served his sentence

at a correctional facility

just outside Jacksonville,

and became very good friends

with his cellmate, Dwight,

who shared

similar tastes in humor.

Walter; Monica!

Monica!

Walter Kramitz never returned

to the force.

Being naked in public

was a revelation for him.

Walter loves the attention...

Stick 'em up!

...But always tosses the pouch

to his new wife,

a miss

Heather Weintraub Kramitz.

Pretty name.

And with that,

I say good night.

Eliot:
Henry and Leonard still

refer to the Arthur Herk job

as the low point

of their professional careers.

Woman on P.A.;

Your attention please.

Captain Lynch has informed us

that there will be a delay

due to an obstruction

on the runway.

I really feel

like killing somebody.

You got that right.

Eliot:
We all go along

day after day,

when suddenly a bomb

drops into our lives.

Sometimes you can't get out

of the way.

Sometimes

it's a new beginning.

Let's take it slow.

Absolutely.

We were married a week

after Anna's divorce.

What is it that brings

two strangers together

so that one soul

inhabits two bodies?

Sometimes it's profound.

Sometimes it's Fritos.

make her stop!

God in Heaven, make her stop!

She wants my soul!

Arugula! Arugula!

Arrrrrugula!
