Go on. You'll be late.

Wait!

The roof will be on Fred.

Nine o'clock.

Thank you. l'm starving!

Have fun!

We're not talking about spare parts.

-How do you explain yourself?|-Bad judgment call.

If this becomes a media circus,|you're responsible.

l'm sure it will not come to that.

l am right on top of it, sir.

Can l help you?

l'd like to sit here for a moment|if that's all right.

Can l ask you something?

Shoot.

Remember that girl in the library?

That girl in the library. Alice?

She's really cool.

Plus she's really pretty.

What's your question?

Felix says l should make her jealous. . .

. . .like his brother does with girls.

Aren't you a little young to be. . . .

Think about other stuff.

l'm ten!

l really like her.

lf l were you. . .

. . .l'd put her out of my mind.

Just forget about her.

Trust me.

You okay?

Thanks for risking your life|to save my underwear.

l just lost my balance up there today.

You sure you don't want to talk to John?|He's a good doctor.

He seems like a nice guy.

He is a nice guy. Nicest guy l know.

This one's great. You like her?

Who doesn't like Billie Holiday?

You don't have to put that on.

Nat's asleep.

The girls at work just gave me|this CD player for my birthday.

l think the old records|sound better somehow, don't you?

There's an EQ thing, but l can never|figure out which button.

She's incredible, isn't she?

l know what it feels like.

l'm sorry.

l know.

l'm going to work.

Nat, wake up!

What?

l was wrong.

Before, about Alice.|l told you to forget about it.

What about her?

You know how you want|to know what you should do?

You must tell her.

The next time you see her,|the very next time. . .

. . .when your heart pounds and you're|nervous--

You know what l mean?

Just let go.

What do you mean?

Let go. Tell her how you feel.

lt's hard, but you got to do it!

How?

You know that stuff you told me?

Tell that stuff to her.

Open your heart. Sing to her!

Sing?

Tell her everything.

Sing to her. The sooner the better.

Because. . .

. . .you might not get another chance.

You follow?

Good.

Good. lt's late.

Good. Go to sleep.

l just wanted to tell you l was wrong.

l thought that you should know.

Thanks.

Good night.

lt's me.

Why are you here?

You are my sunshine|My only sunshine

You make me happy|When skies are gray

You'll never know, dear|How much I love you

Please don 't take my sunshine away

ls this a prank?

No, sir, this is very serious.

Sorry to disturb you. l'm Nat Cooper.|l'm in love with your daughter.

l see her in class every day|and l just really like her a lot.

And that's the truth.

Go home.

-But, sir!|-Good night.

This is Cameron.

They found what?

You're leaving?

l got this for you.

Falcon Control, magnetos on.

Now prime the engines. . .

. . .for a few seconds,|so fuel gets to the engines.

Set your brakes.

Right!

Don't say, ''right,'' say, ''check. ''|''Right'' gets confusing.

-Check!|-Right.

Starter engine on.|Okay, oil pressure's coming up.

Mixture's still rich.|Give it a little throttle.

We're rolling. Check flight controls.

Make sure they're free and correct.

Set flaps for takeoff.

Just a quarter.

Ready?

Throttle on.

All the way.

Now we're moving. Back pressure.|More back pressure.

-lncreasing.|-Yes. Okay, we're climbing.

We're up!

Lift gear. Gear up.

Flaps up.

Okay, we're flying.

Come back to the middle.

-Where's the airport?|-Over there.

Let's go back there.

Smooth now. Smooth.

We lost the right engine!

Feather props, cut mixture.

Get ready to lean on the rudder.|We must find a place to land.

There! A field.

A field, okay. Looks okay to me.|Stay calm now.

Maintain optimum glide speed.|Slowly pull your power back.

And get in a notch of these flaps.|Just a notch!

Okay. Will we make it?

Gear down.

Gear down. Check.

Airspeed, 135 miles per hour.

Full flaps.

Watch the horizon.

Pull back. Not too much!|You'll flare up.

Just watch the horizon.

Watch out for the tree!

And the cows. And the potholes!

Step on the brakes.

Slowly! Too much! Slowly.

lf you can land a B-25. . .

. . .you can do anything.

Thanks a lot.

No, thank you for the jacket.

You're welcome.

This tree house gets your back.

Sure you won't stay?

What's happening?!

Help!

-Blood pressure?|-90 over 60. Pulse is 112.

What is it?

l don't know.

Oh, God!

l'm not making this up.

-McCormick in Emergency--|-McCormick? lt's the FBl.

This guy's in trouble.

l'm confused.|Look at those indices.

What kind of blood activity is that?

Dr. Cameron, Lieutenant Colonel Wilcox.

How are you?

You okay?

Yes, l'm just not the best flier.

l hear you have some good news.

Yes, sir. Some very good news.

Quit following me!

Oh, brother!

l'm still here, huh?

You. . .

. . .look. . .

. . .terrible.

Yeah, but not bad|for a guy my age, right?

lt's not possible.

Claire, l was born in 1907.

l know.

l felt the same|when Harry told me the idea.

Harry Finley?

You know him?

A woman left a message.|l thought it was a wrong number.

lt's still on the machine.

Maybe he was exposed|to some form of radiation.

He's got what looks like|a form of progeria.

l've never seen this.|He is aging!

-Will he live?|-l don't know.

-We must get him out.|-The FBl is coming!

l know!

Stall them. Please?

John, trust me.

Fine!

Jump in.

-Who are those guys?|-FBl.

-l can walk.|-Just shut up and look sick.

-There's something you should know.|-We're in a hurry.

McCormick has been moved.

Open the door.

He's in the west wing.|Follow this corridor to the end.

Room 144.

l'm okay, Claire. l'm all right.

What the hell is going on here?

Hello, l'm looking for a man|named Harry Finley.

He was a scientist.

His wife's name was Blanche.|He was from Chicago.

Do you know him?

That's my father.

ls he home?

l'm sorry, but my father is dead.

He lived here for a few months. . .

. . .but he died before l was born.

You must mean another man.

l was his best friend.

Susan Finley's address is|14 Cypress Pond Road.

Her father found the problem 2|months after McCormick volunteered.

Finley died in a chemical fire|trying to save his friend.

Operations claimed McCormick was killed|as well. No investigation.

The project was forgotten,|when the war started.

You're telling me McCormick|was misplaced for 50 years?

lt seems so. lnventory says|the capsule was a water heater.

My God!

Here they are.

That's them, all right.

lrreversible.

Here. These might help.

We should go back to the hospital.|l'm sure they can help.

That's her, isn't it?

Helen.

ls that your child?

We were never married.

That's me in the picture. l was two.

That's impossible.

She died before you were born.

Helen's alive.

-That's where we grew up.|-l know.

-When did she move there?|-7 years ago.

After her husband died.

She was married?

Come on!

l can't thank you enough.

Put the car in drive!

-Are we going as fast as we can?|-l'm trying!

This car won't make it.

l need a plane.

Hold on.
