Forever Young Page #3

---

You can stay here more than one night|if you need to.

Peanut butter, jelly and banana.

Perfect.

-Told you!|-Good.

Drink?

Dessert.

-This is to catch up more in history.|-l got it for my birthday.

You'll break it open. Don't do that.

Pull it off like that.

Put the straw in that hole like that.

Drink box.

Thanks.

No sweat.

Guys?

Mrs. Watson's here.

My mom.

l figured.

You like my tree house?

Swell.

Cool! See you.

Stop it, Fred!

Stop it! Stop it!

l want to talk!

Say, fella!

All right!

Take a walk and cool off.|All right? Go on.

Come on.

l was walking past|and l heard you scream.

You okay?

You're shaking like a leaf.|Sit down.

So am l.

You okay?

Good.

This is yours?

lt must have been his,|but l'm sure he'd want you to have it.

You're bleeding.

That's just blood.

Let me clean it up.

That's just a scratch.

That's not a scratch, it's a gash.|l'm a nurse.

l know a gash when l see one.|Sit down.

l think you may have just saved my life.

Maybe.

Prick!

l've known a**holes in my time,|but this guy. . .

. . .this guy could give lessons.

This will sting.

You see. . .

. . .Fred is a drunk, which is|the least of his problems.

He's got no spine and no decency.

He's a punk and l knew it|the day l met him.

l know what you're thinking.

l haven't gone out with him. . .

. . .in two years. Over that!

Every once in a while he comes back. . .

. . .like those storms in Japan.

You know, those violent ones|that destroy the villages?

Well, that's Fred.

Did you tell me your name?

l knew a Danny once.

Worse than Fred.

Well, maybe not.

What do you do. . .

. . .besides patrolling neighborhoods|looking for signs of domestic problems?

l'm an Air Corps test pilot.

And in your off-time. . .

. . .you save lives?

That's it.

My name's Claire.|ln case you were curious.

''A scout never shirks|or grumbles at hardship. ''

What the hell is ''shirks''?

Hey, guys.

l'd like you to meet someone.

This is my son, Nat, and Felix.

This is Daniel.

You guys okay?

Fine.

Daniel's a pilot.

-Cool!|-You're kidding!

You found your jacket.

Still think you saw a frozen guy?

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

A jerk showed up. l helped your mom get|rid of him. Don't worry, l'm leaving.

Wait, the couch is totally comfy.

Or my room. The ceiling's|a glow-in-the-dark universe.

Your mother won't let a stranger|stay in the house.

Want to bet?

The toothpaste is in the mirror|and there's a new toothbrush there.

Nat, would you get him a pillow, please?

Cool.

For hot water, turn the faucet to 4|o'clock and then when it gets warm. . .

. . .turn it to 9 and then back to 11.|Sort of like a safe.

lt's awfully kind of you|to let me stay here.

l figure if you wanted to kill me,|you would have let Fred do it.

Besides, you've got an honest smile.

Some are born with great legs.|The rest of us must work at it.

I used to do aerobics till I dropped,|then I found Thighmaster.

Great legs!

Every single time|you squeeze Thighmaster...

... you strengthen and tone.

So it's easy to squeeze your way|to shapely hips and thighs.

lt's called television.

l know. l saw it at|the World's Fair in '39.

'Night.

Get up. That guy called back.

He said he knows a Harry Finley.|Lives an hour from here.

What time is it?

-l got to go.|-Wait!

We're going to the Wings of Freedom.

The air show. lt's near your friend.

Morning.

How was it?

You're one of the kindest people|l've ever met.

You haven't seen my temper.

Yeah, you haven't seen that.

Breakfast?

l must meet an old friend.|Thanks, but l got to run.

You sure?|l'm a hell of a defroster.

No. l'm late as it is.

Come to the air show.|lt's so cool.

He said he had to go.

Goodbye, and thanks again.

And good luck.

You too.

l guess that's that.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks again.

May l help you?

That's right.

l'm sorry, sir.|You're not the. . . .

Are you okay?

You got a ticket?

You must buy a ticket over there.|12 dollars.

-Can we look inside?|-Sure, go ahead.

Hi, Debbie.|This is Daniel, from yesterday.

l was hoping you heard something.

Couldn't you rush it?

lt's just that--

Sure, l'll try again later.

Quit following me, okay?

Hi, Claire.

Find anyone to rescue?

l'm told. . .

. . .that l listen exceptionally well.

lf you want to talk.

You ever feel lost?

l invented it. lt's mine.

My buddy was supposed to be here|when l woke up.

He used to live here.

Now l can't find him.|l know that sounds desperate. . .

. . .but he's all l have left.

You could always go home.

l lost someone close to me,|that's why l left.

That's why l've got|no money or clothes. . .

. . .or a place to stay.|l just left.

Where l'd end up wasn't on my mind.

Everything okay?

John!

Daniel, this is John.|John, this is Daniel.

Pleased to meet you.

Daniel will be staying with us|for a couple days.

Till he finds his friend.

lt's good to know you, Daniel.

Hi, this is Debbie.

Leave a message, I'll call you back.

Hi, Debbie. This is Daniel McCormick.

l'm staying at 555-2368.

l'd appreciate it, if you|hear anything, to call me here.

Thanks again for everything.

Making dinner?

l got to do something.

Maybe tomorrow,|if you don't find your friend. . .

. . .you can teach me to fly.

-That might be tough.|-How come?

To begin with. . .

. . .l don't have a flight jacket.

And secondly. . .

. . .l have no plane.

My father left when l was one.

Thought you'd want to know.

l don't think that's|any of my business.

He hasn't talked to us since.

Thanks.

Can l help out?

Chop up this onion.

-Not the fingers, okay?|-l know, don't worry.

Anyway, this guy. . .

. . .is covered in blood. Covered!

His heart is stopped.

They must open him up.|No time for procedure.

So they open him up|and l had to massage his heart.

l actually held his heart|and pumped it for him.

And there's a horrible accident|on the 5, with other injuries.

This guy, whose heart l'm pumping. . .

. . .his eyes open.

He looks at me and|looks at his heart and says:

''You're holding my heart. ''

What'd you say?

''Yes, l am. ''

The anesthesiologist almost fainted.

That was a couple weeks ago.

Today, when l got into work. . .

. . .he sent me chocolates|in a heart-shaped box.

-lsn't that a good story?|-Great.

This is great.

The scary thing is. . .

. . .all this was in my cupboard, lurking.

Thank you very much|for taking the boys to that.

We have a date!

Tonight!

Am l early?

l was trying out Daniel's cooking.|lt's good.

Yeah. Want some?

l'll just be a sec.

Hi, guys.

You're a doctor?

That's right.

l understand you're a pilot?

That's right.

Doctor, pilot!

Sh*t!

You all right?

l've got a waterfall in my closet.

Nat, get the spaghetti pot.

Heck, that's a leak!

lt's just a hole in the roof.

Just?

We could do this another night.

-Have you got hammers, nails, shingles?|-l have a hammer.

Anything l can do?

l can go to the hardware store tomorrow|if it's still there. . .

. . .fix this in a jiffy.

Go to dinner, you two.|Get out of here.
