the whole effect.

And I don't want to

do this shot again.

Right? Okay. Let's go.

I suppose you

could not pull

your chute at all,

that way he'd

be sure to get

the right effect!

Let's go!

Get me some

scissors to get

this boot off.

Guess who's

still alive? Me!

That's the one!

We got it.

We got it. Oops.

Here we go. Steady.

Steady. Here we go.

You wanted to be

a movie star.

Who, me?

Boy, do I look

forward to this a lot.

We got it.

Hold it.

Who's that?

Is that Newt?

Hey, hey, hey, Newt!

What you doin'

in California, Newt?

I'm working,

I'm the regional

head of the CAA now.

Western sent me

Axel's pilot application.

I'm down here to check

a few things out.

Make a few comments

about his character.

I've a stupendous character.

The world agrees on that!

Good. Good.

There any bad habits

I should know about?

Drinking, for example?

Oh...

There's no

problem here.

No.

Well, I guess if Western's

dumb enough to want you,

they won't be in business

long enough for you

to do them any harm.

Did you know

Kessler's in town?

Huh?

Kessler is in town.

They're filming the

Madden dog-fight

for some movie.

I know. Right. I read

about that In the papers.

Next week or...

No. It's tomorrow.

Well, I guess

I got it wrong.

Hey, you gonna come and

have a drink with us?

No, thanks.

No, thanks,

but I can't.

I gotta get up

early tomorrow.

Betcha every pilot in

town is gonna try and

sneak In on this one.

I don't know about

you guys, but I wouldn't

miss it for the world.

Well...

Hey, we'll see you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

See ya, Newt.

Happy landings.

Take good care.

Do you see him?

If I saw him,

I'd at least grunt

or something.

Just keep a

steady lookout.

I don't...

Werfel's waiting

for you.

Right!

Well, what

do you think?

Hey, Brown!

Yeah.

All right. We're gonna start

with some independent passes

over the camera ship.

He'll signal when

he's got enough.

Then we'll cut to some

head-on passes.

But keep close.

Remember at all times,

keep close to the camera ship.

Look, I know those

are uncomfortable,

and I know you

didn't really wear

them in the war,

but there are

two men dead on

this picture already,

so you'll wear them now.

Any questions?

What'd they

do that for?

Who's flying

with Kessler?

Brown.

New guy.

I'll get him when

he gets down.

I don't understand.

What are they doing?

They're actually fighting,

for Christ's sake.

Come on, Waldo,

shake him!

Well, as long as

he's up there.

He's gonna run

him into the hill.

Jesus,

he rammed him!

Well, get a camera

on them, will you.

If those stupid bastards

are gonna kill each

other, I want it on film!

Where the hell

are they?

There's Waldo.

Look!

One more pass

and you got him.
