Pushing Tin Page #6

He's a lowlife, but that's

his problem. It's not mine.

- I don't like what he said about you.

- What?

- He said you were attractive.

- Really?

- He used the word "attractive"?

- Yes, he did.

- What was the context...?

- The context was... I don't remember.

- Right.

- That was the context.

I got 30 minutes.

I don't wanna talk about him.

We'll talk about

what you wanna talk about.

Does he call you

Connie or Mrs. Falzone?

No, honey. It's "babycakes."

Tommy boy,

I haven't seen you in years.

- No kidding.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm filling in tonight.

- Who for?

Bell.

- Where'd he have to go tonight?

- I don't know. He called me to switch.

Well, is he sick?

No, he sounded good.

Hello. This is the Falzone residence.

We're not in, but leave your name

and number and we'll call you back.

How do you turn it off?

You there? You screening?

Don't screen. Pick up.

Nicky?

Connie?

Okay, talk to you later. Bye.

Bonjour.

Let's welcome to tonight's Muscle

Queen contest, three young ladies...

...whose mission it is

to tone the whole body.

I don't know. I think she's

screwing around with Russell.

Connie and Russell Bell?

- Okay, what do you got?

- Nothing concrete. I got a gut feeling.

- That's not...

- Connie's crazy about you.

Besides, only scum would screw around

with another controller's wife.

- There are exceptions to every rule.

- What's wrong with you?

And now, our first contestant,

Miss Tina Leary.

I did something stupid.

- What did you do?

- Like, really stupid.

I ran into Mary Bell

at the supermarket.

She was upset over a plant.

She was a mess.

Forget about the plant.

You know how she looks.

I felt sorry for her. We went

to dinner. We had too much to drink...

Okay, wait.

You bopped Mary Bell? Did you?

Just once.

A controller's wife. I broke the rule.

At least you're disgusted

with your behavior.

That's something, isn't it?

It counts for something.

That'll teach Russell

to take on more planes than you.

- I think he's trying to...

- You're starting to worry me.

You're starting to worry me.

This job can get to people.

Sometimes this job gets to people.

- The universe tends towards chaos.

- What?

It tends towards chaos.

We're the last line of defense

against chaos in the sky.

It can be too much of a burden.

You know? It can be more

than the human mind...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I got it.

You're not screwing my wife, are you?

This is crazy.

Baby, you look so good!

Connie?

What's going on?

Everything okay? Hey, buddy.

- Run along. I need to talk to Daddy.

- Hey, Dr. T.

- What is it?

- Sit down, Nick.

I've been explaining to the kids

what it means that Daddy...

...won't be around anymore.

Hey, Connie.

Wait a minute.

Do you even wanna hear

my side of this?

What's your side of my father dying?

- It's a terrible shock.

- He's been sick for three years.

You're never prepared.

Don't worry. They can stay

with Laura and Kevin.

But I gotta leave tomorrow.

So I've left three casseroles...

- You assume I'm not going?

- You never take time off...

I'll take time off.

- I'll take time off.

- You sure?

I got these for you.

- Are you okay?

- Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, no, no.

Oh, my daddy's gone.

Was that French?

What?

Did you say goodbye in French?

- Yes. I did.

- That's lovely, Connie.

I'll never forget the first night I met him.

He was a wonderful man.

He said he thought no man

was good enough for his daughter.

Then he met me, and he was sure of it.

He said, "If you're not good enough

for her, then no one is."

He had a sense of humor.

He spoke his mind. He wasn't devious.

He didn't sneak around

behind your back.

He didn't ride around on a motorcycle.

I didn't realize you knew French.

I've been listening to tapes for weeks.

Tapes.

Russell Bell, he loaned them to me.

- That was considerate of him.

- What is it with you?

At this time...

- It's like you don't trust me anymore.

- What are you saying?

I read that when a person does not...

...trust another person...

...it's because they, themselves...

- They themselves what?

Are you turning this around

so it's about me?

Is it, Nick?

- Is this about you?

- What are you talking about?

You look me in the eye...

...and tell me you've

never cheated on me.

Come on.

You want me to...

I'm gonna be sick. I'm gonna be...

I'm gonna be sick.

This is not okay.

You are an a**hole!

- Capital A-S-H...

- Stop hitting me!

A**hole! O-L-E!

The captain, here.

Shortly, we'll be descending.

The cabin crew will complete...

I know it's too early

to ask you to forgive me.

But do you think you could someday

imagine starting to think about it?

I just want you to know

that if the situation were reversed...

...in my heart I'd forgive you.

- There's nothing to forgive.

- What do you mean?

- Wanna know why? Because I did it too.

Russell et moi. We did the deed.

Le grand of freaky-frick.

We went all over the house.

We went upside down.

We went sideways.

We should have worn helmets.

- What's going on?

- Didn't mean a thing.

No, this plane. I called. The TRACON's

supposed to bring us straight in.

We've been informed there's

traffic ahead at the airport.

They've asked us to delay our landing.

It shouldn't be long.

We'll keep you advised.

Guess I get to spend quality time

with my husband.

Who's on approach right now?

The captain's turned

on the seat belt sign.

We're experiencing a few bumps.

It'll be over soon.

This is crazy.

They don't even fit me anymore.

Where are you going?

I need a drink of water.

The "fasten seat belt" sign is on.

Sit down!

- I'm with TRACON. Plane's in danger.

- Is that a threat?

The man in control

is under emotional strain.

- The captain's fine.

- You think the captain's in control?

- Return to your seat.

- I need to talk to the captain.

- Sir, sit down!

- Just 20 seconds.

- Right now!

- Okay. All right. I will.

- Captain!

- You are not allowed in there! Sir!

- Return to your seat or...

- It's being put in bad...

This plane's being put

in bad weather intentionally!

The controller has lost his mind!

- No water?

- They had sparkling. I want flat.

You should've asked nicely.

- I have to go to the washroom.

- You can't drink from the washroom!

I'm going to ask the flight crew

to buckle in.

A little turbulence.

Captain! Listen to me!

I have the proper identification!

I'm an air traffic controller!

There's an unstable man

on the ground controlling this plane!

I gotta talk to the captain!

We've just been cleared to land.

Will you please just give the man

a drink of water?

- Sit down!

- I'll get it myself.

Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for flying Dynajet.

...we're looking at snow

at least until rush hour.

The accumulation

is already five inches.

I need an alternate route in tonight.

Somebody on the scopes

is about to go on mental health leave.

Airport conditions: One inch

of hard-packed snow on all runways.
