Blow Out
Hey, will you guys shut up in there?
Barbara!
Oh, sh*t.
What the hell is going on in here?
I am trying to study for a final.
Yeah, we have finals too.
Ever hear of modern dance?
- Can't you study to music?
- No, I can't study to music!
- Turn it down or do I have to go to Sue?
- Go to Sue, then. F*** off.
- I'm going to Sue!
- I'm going to Sue.
Oh!
- Get off of me!
- What?
Oh! Oh!
Oh, there's somebody out there.
Come on! There's somebody out there!
- There's nobody out there.
- There is!
- Calm down.
- I can't calm down.
You better take care of it,
cos I can't study with this disco music.
All right, move. Come on.
Oh, look. The little fink
brought back the master fink.
- The music's not loud.
- Yes, it is.
God, that scream is terrible.
- What cat did you strangle to get that?
- That's her voice.
- You didn't dub that?
- No.
- That's hers?
- Yeah.
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
Run it again. I wanna hear the scream.
- Run it?
- Yeah.
And kill all the effects
except for the scream.
Kill it.
You're right. It's hers. And it's sh*t.
Look, Jack, I didn't hire that girl
for her scream. I hired her for her tits.
Then why worry?
Who's gonna be watching her scream?
Wait a minute. Come on, Jack.
Look, how many years
have we worked together?
Let's see. I met you on Blood Bath, right?
And then we did Blood Bath II.
And then we did Bad Day at Blood Beach.
And then we did Bordello of Blood.
Well, that brings us up to date.
Co-ed Frenzy.
By the way, I didn't tell you this but...
I'd like to think this is our finest film.
- Almost two years.
- Oh, God. Five films in two years.
You know what I can't figure out? Why
a smart guy like you is still doing that sh*t.
Come on! You do the sh*t. I do the sound.
No, you do the sh*t. That wind sounds
like you're whistling in the crapper!
It's library stuff we used a million times.
That is the trouble!
I have heard it a million times!
- Get something new.
- New wind. Got it.
- And that scream. We gotta dub that.
- All right. Know any good screamers?
- I got a few ideas.
- I bet you do.
Just worry about the scream.
...a sweeping condemnation
of White House policies.
The same poll gave evidence
of a ground swell of support
for Governor George McRyan
in his bid for nomination.
If an election were held today, Governor
drawing a remarkable 62 per cent
of the vote to the president's 23.
The president's campaign manager,
Jack Manners, told reporters.:
The president's had to make
some tough decisions.
But when these policies are carried out
and the economic climate improves,
as we confidently expect it will,
the people will rally to support
the president in the upcoming primaries.
A lot can happen between now and then.
Congress waits anxiously for Governor
McRyan to declare his candidacy.
They may not have long to wait. The
governor is now at the Bellevue Stratford
where he will soon address the kickoff
dinner of the Liberty Day celebration.
Some people think he will use the
occasion to throw his hat into the ring.
Joan, any word
from the Bellevue Stratford yet?
Not yet, Bill, but as soon as there is,
we will be going there live.
Liberty Day is one of the most eagerly
awaited of all Philadelphia celebrations.
But this year it's going to be extra special.
It is 100 years since the Liberty Bell
was last rung. To honour this centennial,
...a parade on Saturday
will end up at Penn's Landing
with a spectacular display of fireworks.
In addition, a full-size replica
of the Liberty Bell has been made
from pennies donated by schoolchildren
from every state in the Union.
And they'll be ringing it
after the fireworks at Penn's Landing.
That's right.
Hold it. We've got the Bellevue Stratford.
Let's go live to our political
correspondent, Frank Donahue,
at the Liberty Ball
at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel.
Frank, you look fabulous.
Have you spoken with the governor yet?
Yes, Joan, briefly. He just arrived.
I did ask the governor his impression
so far of this year's Liberty Day Jubilee.
He said he was honoured to be here
and plans to attend the parade and the
ringing of the new bell on Saturday night.
He felt it a shame the Liberty Bell
had been silenced for so long.
He looked forward to a new voice
of liberty throughout the land.
The governor is now greeting friends and
will be enjoying a meal in the ballroom.
But his people have told us
that he will speak to us after that meal.
I'm Frank Donahue. "Eye on the City"
News, Bellevue Stratford.
Thank you, Frank.
We'll be getting back to you later on.
Meanwhile, in other news,
a teacher's strike...
Let's take a walk
along the river here.
Mm. Nice.
- David, look. Someone's on the bridge.
- Let's not worry about that.
- He's staring right at us.
- Who cares?
- I care.
- Betsy.
- I don't wanna stay here. Let's go.
- Yeah, OK.
- What is he doing?
- I don't know.
- What is he, a Peeping Tom?
- Oh, who cares? Let's walk down there.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, God! Please help me!
Get me out of here, please!
Oh! Oh, God!
- A bang?
- Yeah, some sort of a bang.
- Where?
- I'm not sure where.
- You were facing the car?
- Yes.
Well, you heard the blowout.
Yes, but the first sound
I heard was a bang.
- Some kind of an echo.
- No.
Look, I know what an echo sounds like.
I'm a sound man.
And the bang was before the blowout.
- What were you doin' up there?
- I was recording sounds for a movie.
- You recorded the accident?
- Yes.
What happened after that?
The car went off the road
into the creek and I...
- What did you do then?
- I'm tryin' to tell you.
I ran down, jumped in the creek
and pulled out the girl.
- There was a girl?
- Yes, there was a girl.
- What girl?
- The girl I brought here. In the room.
She was inside the car?
- Yes.
- Are you sure?
I wasn't bobbing for apples.
Of course I'm sure.
It can get pretty dark
under eight feet of water.
Is this known as obtaining objective
eyewitness testimony? If it is, forget it.
We gotta get the stretcher through.
Step back.
Doctor! How is she?
Very lucky. Mild shock, some cuts
and bruises. No major injuries.
- Can I see her?
- She might be asleep. She's sedated.
- I'll just say goodbye.
- Don't stay too long.
How you doin'?
- Do you have my purse?
- No.
I'm sure the police'll find it.
I wouldn't worry about it.
I know.
- Where are you going?
- I have to leave now.
Wait a minute. I think
you'd better get back to bed.
I don't think they're finished
with you yet. Come on, up. Up.
- Just for a minute.
- All right.
So how do you feel?
He said I was lucky-the doctor.
Yeah. He should've been there, huh?
- Thanks for getting me out.
- No problem.
I didn't realise you were this pretty,
with all that mud.
I don't have any make-up on!
Well, don't worry about it.
It's fine. It's a hospital.
- Who are you?
- I'm Jack Terry. Who are you?
- Sally.
- Sally? Nice to meet you, Sally.
