Six Days Seven Nights Page #2

Synopsis: Taking a romantic tropical island week off with her boyfriend, an ambitious, decisive New York girl agrees to help her magazine out by covering a story on a neighboring island. The only plane available is piloted by a laid-back heavy drinker with whom she shares a mutual dislike. But she has no choice and he can't refuse the money. When the plane crash-lands on an uninhabited island with little chance of rescue they both wish they had made other arrangements - at least to start with.

when they can't find it

any other place.

- Maybe they will.

- [Scoffs]

It's an island, babe.

If you don't bring it here,

you won't find it here.

Oh, heavy.

Pilot and philosopher.

- Let me buy you a drink.

- Hey, I'm here with somebody.

You remember him?

He came in with me.

[Groans]

I meant both of you.

No, you didn't.

- You're from New York, aren't you?

- Hey, is everything okay?

- Well, hi. Nice to see you again.

- Yeah, you too.

- Let me buy you a drink.

- Oh, that's very...

- Let's go.

- Oh, but we're leaving. And so...

- Well, maybe some other time...

- Ta-ta.

I'll buy you a drink.

Okay. Bye.

- Was he bothering you?

- Oh, no.

Was he hitting on you? From over there,

it looked like he was hitting on you.

- Maybe a little...

- He was? Do you want me

to do something about it?

- Like what?

- Hey, I don't go to the gym every day

just to watch old guys shower.

- You know, I will...

- Really? Really?

[Frank]

Well done, ocean. Well done, sky.

[Miss Monroe]

Well done, mai tais.

[Chuckles]

Well done, silicone. Oh, my.

- Hey.

- Ow. [Chuckles]

Hey, I'm... I'm getting

a little toasty here.

You want me to put some

cream on you, honey?

You'd do that for me?

You'd cream me up?

[Laughs]

Only for you. Where is it?

Excuse me. Miss Monroe?

You have a phone call.

- I do?

- You could take it at the bar.

- What... Who would be calling you here?

- I have no idea. I'll be back.

- Could I get two mai tais, please?

- Yes, ma'am.

Thank you. Hello?

Look, I know you're on vacation,

but this is a dire emergency.

- Oh, no.

- The photo shoot's on, but it's

an availability nightmare.

Vendela and Evander Holyfield

only have a mutual 17-hour window.

If we don't get them now,

nobody's available for four months...

and we lose them

for the May cover.

There's gotta be somebody closer

whose life you can screw up.

That's the ironic thing, dear.

There's not.

Vendela's in Sydney.

Evander's in Osaka.

I threw Taylor on a plane

this morning to Papeete.

- Tahiti?

- Yes. They're all coming to you.

All you have to do

is fly back to Tahiti, babysit

the shoot, fly back out.

- Fifteen hours at the most.

- Look, this is complicated.

Uh... Frank proposed

to me last night.

Oh, my God! This is so exciting!

Sweetie, I'm so happy for you!

Well, I'm glad,

but the point is...

what kind of message am I sending to

Frank if the day after our betrothal...

I'm leaving him to go

on some photo shoot?

An excellent message.

This is the perfect opportunity

to establish parameters.

Oh, God.

I read somewhere

that 38.6%% % of all women...

are pressured into quitting their jobs

in the first year of marriage.

Marjorie, you read that

in our magazine, and we made it up.

Oh, please, Robin, please.

Please, please, Robin. Please.

Deal.

Oh, good!

Do you have a way back to Tahiti?

Oh, yeah. I can...

[Groans]

- [Moaning]

- [Patting]

Feels good? Yeah?

- [Moaning Continues]

- [Massaging Continues]

- [Moans Loudly]

- Don't move a muscle.

- Lay down. Stay.

- [Moans]

- Hi.

- Oh, hi.

- I'm looking for...

- Quinny, it's for you.

- Hi there.

- Ohh.

I'm really sorry to interrupt you.

I sort of have an emergency.

Emergency?

What's goin' on?

Well, my boss called me, and she

wants me to go to Tahiti tonight.

Well, uh, I'm sort of

on my layover here.

Right. Would $500

cut your layover short?

Um...

Baby, wanna go

to Papeete?

I can't. I have a show tonight.

Tuesday is Tamure night.

Uh, it's Tamure night.

My hands are tied.

Oh. That's for later.

[Chuckles]

You know, I'm stuck. I, l...

This is really important.

You'd be doing me a tremendous favour.

How would 700 be?

Okay.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Great.

- I'll meet you at the plane,

and give me an hour.

Great! Thank you.

Honey, it's a known fact that

are pressured into quitting their jobs

the first year of marriage.

That was in your magazine.

You probably made it up.

If you had to work,

I would understand.

That's because you're not

as romantic as I am.

Ohh.

So come with me.

- No.

- How come?

Because if I go with you,

I'll resent the fact that I'm there.

If I stay here, I'll miss you,

but you'll feel guilty.

- I like that better.

- Come on. It's only for one night.

- Hubby.

- Say that again.

What, hubby?

- I like that. Say it.

- Hubby.

- Ready to go.

- Is it safe to fly?

- It is with me.

- Oh, you're that good, huh?

I'm the best

you've ever been with.

I'm not sure

I trust your equipment.

- We may be old, but we're sturdy.

- Mm-hmm.

- What's all this?

- Hotel overstocks, local trinkets.

I was gonna fly 'em to Tahiti tomorrow,

but with your job, I got a twofer.

[Chuckles]

How handy for you.

Excuse me. I just wanna

keep this from flying at you.

There we go.

- Do you have my, uh, money?

- Oh, yes.

- Thank you.

- It's all there.

I trust you.

So what kind of work do you do

back there in New York?

I'm an assistant editor

for a magazine called Dazzle.

- Dazzle?

- Yeah.

- Never heard of that one.

- You're not exactly

the demographic we shoot for.

[Chuckles]

Uh, this is it.

Dazzle.

"Your Derriere:
Five Exercises

to Tame the Beast."

"Ten Ways to Light

His Fire."

- For pete sake.

- [Thunderclap]

Ten ways to light

his fire.

- You know how

a woman gets a man excited?

- How?

She shows up, and that's it.

We're guys. We're easy.

Of course, for that you can't charge

six bucks an issue, can you?

- [Thunderclap]

- Does that advice come with the 700...

- [Rain Falling]

- Or do I need to pay extra for that?

It's on the house.

Thanks.

Dd [Native Drums]

Um, island flight

watch, Beaver 0318.

We are 3,500

on a heading of 110.

Looking for a weather update,

please, along our route of flight.

- [Radio Static]

- [Man's Voice Breaking Up]

Be advised...

...southwesterly...

Say again.

[Static Continues]

[Turns Radio Off]

I'm sorry. This weather came up

quicker than anybody anticipated.

We're gonna have

to turn back to Makatea.

- It's just not worth the risk.

- Uh, all right.

A line of squalls

has got us boxed in.

Tighten up your seat belt.

It's gonna get bumpy.

- Wha...

- [Loud Bang]

Uh, you don't... you don't mind if

I just... come sit up here with you?

- Aah!

- Get your seat belt on.

- What are those?

- Uh, Xanax.

My doctor prescribed them for situations

of tension. I think this qualifies.

- Give me a couple.

- You just drive.

[Thunderclaps]

- What are you taking now?

- Xanax.

[Slurred] My doctor prescribed them

for situations of "sension."

Give me those.

[Gasps]

Whoo! Hey!

That was close,

huh? Whoo.

[Static Humming]

That was more than close.

That hit us.

- No?

- Sh*t! Fried the radios.

Oh, no.

That's bad, huh?

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

Beaver 0318.

We're unable

to maintain altitude.

Can anybody hear this?

- Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

- Attention Kmart shoppers!

Snow shovels are on sale

for 12.99.

Put that down!

I'm unable to maintain altitude.
