Planes: Fire & Rescue Page #5

Dusty Crophopper!

My buddies

are never gonna believe this.

Hey, do my voice-mail.

- Your voice-mail?

- Go!

Hi, this is Dusty Crophopper.

-"World racing champion."

- World racing champion.

Please leave a message at the beep.

- Now, beep.

What?

- Do it!

- Beep!

That was awesome!

Move along.

Dusty! You have to meet

the Secretary of the Interior.

- Okay.

- I'm up for a promotion.

You understand.

You're upwardly mobile, right?

- Sure.

- Of course, you are. You're a plane.

Hey! Boat Reynolds!

Boat, loved you in

Best Little Boathouse in Texas.

Excuse me, son. Do you work here?

No, not really.

Great, come over here.

It's our anniversary.

- We honeymooned here 50 years ago.

- Can you believe it?

I was 50 years younger

and half a ton lighter.

More to love!

And Harvey, bless his heart,

is trying to find the spot

where we had our first kiss.

That is so sweet!

You don't do things like that anymore.

Honey, honey, listen' I'm telling you.

There was a bridge,

and a magnificent waterfall, and...

You.

I love you, Harvey.

Hey, you know,

that sounds like Augerin Canyon.

Yeah, that's right! Anger Canyon.

By Upper Whitewall Falls.

By Whitewash Falls!

See? I told you I knew where it was.

Hey, in honor of your anniversary,

why don't you join us?

We'll buy you a can of oil, on me.

Thank you, dear.

Sure, sure.

I've been around the block a few times.

I worked as a taco truck,

sold carwash curtain rings for a while.

Then, I got into RV tire sales.

Winnie here was my showroom model.

That's how we met.

-It's true.

- Nice.

For our wedding day,

bought her the best set of whitewalls.

We wore off the treads

on our honeymoon.

Yeah...

- Driving!

- Driving! Of course!

She said "Driving."

- Delete that thought.

- Deleted!

You know, Dusty...

Maybe this firefighting thing

will be a second career for you.

Yeah. This is a second career

for all of us.

Windlifter was a lumberjack,

Cabbie was in the military,

and me, well,

I hauled cargo up in Anchorage.

Yeah, a lot of guys up in Anchorage.

I was beating them off with a stick.

"Come here, boy. No." Boom!

Hey, big whirlybird,

you haven't said much.

How about a toast?

Windli?e?s not really

much for speeches.

A toast to Coyote.

It was he who drove all day and all night

to the base of Bright Mountain.

With much difficulty,

he climbed the mountain to obtain fire,

and brought it down to the first vehicles.

But in so doing, he burned his tires.

And when Coyote saw

his blackened tires,

he thought they were his favorite snack,

and he ate them!

For he knew they were still full of life.

And it was in this way,

he let go of the old,

and renewed himself

like fire renews the earth.

I'm just gonna say it.

You had me up until the part

where he eats his own tires.

Best toast ever, Wind.

Cheers!

Propwash Junction to Dusty.

Come in, Dusty. Come in, Dusty.

Propwash Junction to Dusty.

Hey, Skip-

What's up?

Did the gearbox come in?

Well, we...

What?

So...

Dust...

Sparky, I'll tell him.

It was the wrong one.

The crate... It was mislabeled.

We've called every parts

supplier, repair shop,

and junkyard in the country.

Nobody has your gearbox.

Dusty?

I'm here.

I'm sorry.

1 gotta 911

Thanks.

AH aircraft, we've got two fires.

HEY, CFOphopper.

Gel this, Cad's fancyjet VIPs

flew in too low over

the burn area last night,

blew embers in all directions.

Champ,

let's load and go.

The fire broke containment

and split in two.

Vl/indlifter, you and Dipper

take the Coil Springs fire.

Me and the SEA will take Whitewall Rapids.

Windlifter copies.

- Maru, come in.

- Yeah, Blade?

-It's worse than we thought.

- Yeah?

Get on the horn 10 the lodge.

That fire is about four hours

from their front door.

They're gonna have to evacuate.

Absolutely not!

Blade insists.

To be safe, you gotta get everyone out.

I've been working on this lodge

for five years.

I'm not gonna evacuate now

just to be "safe.

You got less than four hours.

Why am I talking to you?

Where's Blade?

He's out back sipping a motorjito.

Where do you think he is?

He's out fighting the fire!

If we're gonna save the lodge,

we've gotta keep this fire

from cresting the ridge.

I'll drop, then you tag on and extend.

And make it a split load.

That way, we can double up

and widen it downwind of the ridge...

If you push yourself

into the red, you'll crash.

Nobody has your gearbox.

Copy that?

Hey! You copy that?

Yeah. Yes. Copy that.

You gotta be kidding me.

- Was that your whole tank?

- Yeah.

You just wasted all of it.

I was just following your orders.

I said, "Split load."

We were going to make

a secondary line

to protect that lodge.

It'll be fine. I can reload at the lake.

Negative! Return to base.

No! There's no time.

Let's just get this fire out.

Hey, hey! You need to listen to me!

I'll be fine!

These crosswinds are too strong.

Return to base!

This is what you trained me to do!

Not under these conditions.

If we're gonna get this fire out,

I've gotta reload.

- Pull up, that's an order!

- No, I can do this.

I've taken in too much water.

- My engine stalled.

Stalled?

Keep your pontoons downstream.

I'll keep ahead of you.

I'll get out on my own.

How you planning on doing that?

H! restart my engine.

Just hang on.

I'm gonna pull you to shore.

Got it!

- Are you all right?

- I'm okay.

There's too much coverage.

Don't worry,

I'll get you at the next clearing.

Right.

The hoist, it's caught.

Blade...

Blade!

Come on.

You need to start your engine.

You've got clear water.

You can take off before the falls.

It's your only chance.

Right! Right.

Got it. I'm good!

Now, redline it.

Push your engine!

Red

line it!

You need more lift!

Redline it! Re dime it!

Why are you holding back? Redline it!

Why didn't you redline it?

You could've made it!

What were you thinking?

What? What's wrong?

This ain't good.

Head down that path. Follow me.

Champ, come on!

m here.

An old mine? We can't go in there.

We'll suffocate!

It's our only chance.

We'll let it burn over.

No, you go on. I'll keep moving.

What are you doing? Hey. Hey!

You can't outrun the fire.

You know what? I'll find my way out.

Like you found your way

out of the rapids.

I didn't want to push my engine.

- You didn't "want" to?

- Blade, listen to me.

This isn't about you.

This is about life and death.

You need to follow orders.

I told you, "Split load,"

you dropped it all.

I told you not to reload on the lake,

you did it anyway.

I told you, "Redline it,"

you pulled power.

You don't have what it takes! You don't!

Fine! I never wanted to be

a firefighter anyway!

Then go back to racing!

Go win yourself another trophy, Champ.

I can't!

My gearbox is busted! All right?

That's why I pulled power.

I'm never gonna...

Life doesn't always go

the way you expect it.

But you came here

to become a firefighter.

If you give up today,

think of all the lives
