Last Man Club

- Ok, Pete, time's up.

- I used to fly one of those.

- Fly what?

- B-17, flying fortress.

I served on one.

Oh, yeah, the flight museum

must be doing another air show.

Give me a break. I'm still

a man, for Christ's sake.

Relax, Pete.

- We know what we're doing.

- Take it easy.

Come on.

Hey, wait. You're cutting off

my circulation here.

Ok, boys.

Ripley, thank god you're here.

I can't go to the bathroom

like a normal person

and they think I'm crazy because

I don't care if I live anymore.

I'm dying anyway.

What does it matter if I knock

off a couple of months?

It matters to me.

Hey, I found an address on one

of those names you wanted.

Just one?

Sorry, Pete.

John Pernell.

He was our pilot. We called

him eagle eye.

Hey, I'll show you.

Give me my ammo box.

Make me a promise.

No escape attempts.

I got nowhere to go.

Now, that chap right there,

that's eagle eye.

Got something to write with?

- Ah, good.

- I'll be back in a few minutes.

Ok.

- Who are you writing?

- None of your damn business.

I've never seen you

write nobody.

You like that pretty little

nurse, don't you?

- I see the way you look at her.

- You're disgusting.

Couldn't do nothin' about it.

I've seen.

You're a pig!

You got nothing left down there but a

little plastic tube to piss through.

- I'm a man! I am still a man!

I guess she has to know you,

who's a man, you son of a b*tch!

- I'll kill you! They're coming!

- Dr. Darby, meds!

- They're coming from everywhere!

- Stat!

They're coming from 12 o'clock!

Eagle!

Eagle!

Dad, get in the car. I've been

looking all over for you.

- You've got to stop running off.

- I wasn't running off.

I went to the store.

You can't leave the house

without getting lost anymore.

I think it's time I got

my own place.

I'm ok now.

Come on, face it, dad, you

can't take care of yourself.

- You haven't driven since mom died.

- I can drive.

Not without a license,

you can't.

I just have to take

the test again.

They said I need glasses.

I got 'em. Now I'm ready.

It's not your eyesight

I'm worried about.

Listen, dad, Hilary and I have

made a decision.

Let's discuss it tonight

and we can see what you think.

Since when does it matter

what I think?

Hey, big guy.

- Did you get it?

- Yeah. What do you think?

- Wow.

- Thanks, grandpa.

- You're welcome, my son.

- Where'd you find him this time?

- Couple of blocks from here.

Let's go.

When you were in the war, were you ever

so scared you never wanted to fly again?

Almost every time

I flew a mission.

If you were so scared every time

you flew, why'd you keep doing it?

It was my duty.

It didn't matter how scared I was

or how impossible it all seemed.

We just had to put one foot

in front of the other.

Sometimes bravery comes

one step at a time.

Hey, dad, you got some mail.

It was sent to your old address.

Who's Pete Williams from

Galveston, Texas?

Well, aren't you gonna open it?

Dear eagle. I haven't

been able to find the others.

You and I may be all who's left.

So I'm calling on you to make

good on the oath that we all took

all those many years ago.

Looks as though

you're the last man.

Time's short, eagle.

I haven't got much of it left.

I'm in Galveston, Texas, at the

Va hospital on memorial drive.

Please hurry.

What's the matter, grandpa?

Was the letter bad news?

No, just an old friend I lost

touch with.

What did he want?

The impossible.

What the...?

Dad!

Dad, look what you did!

- What's going on?

- Nothing. Just go do your homework.

- I live here too, you know.

- No, it's just a little accident.

It's not just a little accident.

We no longer have a ceiling.

When are you going to tell him? John,

he's supposed to leave in a few days.

I know, but we're sending him

off to a strange place.

I know it's a strange place,

but it has to happen.

I just never thought I'd be sending

my father off to an old folks' home.

We both agreed that

this isn't working anymore.

- Don't make me the bad guy.

- All right. All right, Hilary.

I'll tell him in the morning.

Ah.

Dear Taylor.

It's come time for me to put

one foot in front of the other

and face some fears once again.

Always remember,

nothing is impossible for you

if you have faith

and an open heart.

I'll be looking out for you.

Love, grandpa.

Taylor?

- Where's grandpa?

- I don't know.

Hmm.

Holy...

Sh*t!

Hey. Hey, what are you

doing? Give it to me.

Give it to me!

Come here! Hey!

- Hey!

- Why are you chasing me?

I'm not! Come on!

- What are you doing?

- Get in!

Get in!

Come on, hurry up.

We're out of range.

You can sit up now.

Are you all right?

- Stop the car.

- Hey, lighten up, pops.

That guy back there was trying

to kill us.

There is no "us".

Stop the car.

- Get out.

- What?

- You heard me.

- Look, general.

I need a ride to the next town, ok?

My life is in danger.

I don't have time for you

or your problems, lady.

- Romy.

- What?

- My name is Romy.

- You just shot a man back there.

I tried to kill him. I missed.

Ok, look, I'm sorry, ok? I didn't

mean to try to kill anybody.

- What's wrong?

- My glasses.

I don't see them.

Hey. Really?

What, you're just gonna

leave me out here like this?

Get in.

I'll take you to the next town.

So, what did you say

your name was?

John Pernell, but you can

call me eagle eye.

Well, eagle eye, why don't you yank

it over and let me drive for a while

before you get us both killed?

I'm not the one causing wrecks

and shooting people.

No, but at least

I can see the road.

She took off with some guy. I'm

telling you, dad, it was a setup.

Dad, I know. I know I shouldn't

have trusted her. I know that, dad.

Listen, I got Dan Hanks on it. Yeah,

you know, Rudy's friend, the pi.

Dad, hold on. Find that broad,

Hanks. Go get her.

I got it. Did she leave

anything in the car?

- How should I know?

- See you back in town.

All right, buckle up.

Here we go.

Well, general,

that was an experience.

- It's captain.

- Yeah, well, whatever. Good luck.

Look, I need a place to stay

for a couple of nights.

Just until I can

figure this out.

Yeah. Right, yeah, I get it.

Ok.

Yeah, bye.

Hey, let me help you

with that, pops.

- I can do it.

- Not by the looks of it.

So where are you headed to,

a parade or something?

I'm going to Galveston, Texas,

to visit an old friend.

Drive all that way by yourself?

No, I'm gonna stop off in

Pennsylvania and look up a friend

and see if he wants to come along

and help with the driving.

- You're headed to Pennsylvania?

- Yeah.

Well, I hate to break it to you,

but you're headed south

and Pennsylvania's due north.

All right, I'll tell you what.

I'll make a deal with you.

I'll drive you to Pennsylvania

to meet up with your friend

and then afterwards you just drop

me off at the train station.

Don't do me any favors.

Don't worry.

Do you have like a recent photograph

that I could take with me?

Oh, yes, of course.

Can you think of any particular
