The Last Flight Page #7

---

Oh, Shep, Shep, don't say that.

You'll be all right.

We'll get you to a hospital.

No, no, Cary.

Don't rush me anywheres.

Let's sit here for a while.

The -

Hurts, the jolting.

Stop! Stop!

That's better

You know, Cary,

I feel - just like we're fallin -

long time ago.

Do you remember?

Spinning...

Spinning...

Spinning...

Only you brought me down safe.

Oh, Cary.

Good old Cary.

Best flyer in the service.

Oh, Shepard,

Shepard, darling.

We're gonna make

a safe landing again, Shep.

Not this time, Cary.

Ol' Shep's gonna crash.

Say, but we're spinning fast.

Level off.

Cary, level off.

Oh, Shepard,

Shepard, darling.

Shep?

Shep?!

Shep!

What are you writing, Cary?

A letter.

A letter to Shep's mother.

Mind if I read it?

Certainly not.

Why, Cary.

Cary, that's the most

beautiful letter I've ever read.

Please forgive me for crying, Cary.

I can't help it.

You don't mind if I

cry just a minute, do you?

No, Nikki.

Can't you cry, Cary?

No.

But you have cried sometime

in your life, haven't you?

Long, long time ago.

Before the war.

And you can't cry now?

Not even for Shep?

Shep Lambert spent his life

in the war.

He had nothing more to give.

He had died once.

And he was ready to die again.

This time he was played out

with music.

That was the way he wanted it.

And Bill Talbot was a big success in

the hospital in his new blue shorts.

Maybe he'll tackle the angel Gabriel

and - be a big success again.

And Francis?

Maybe Francis will forget to wind his

chiming watch one day and go on sleeping.

Till the end.

It doesn't matter now.

Without them, nothing matters.

We only had each other.

Comradeship was all we had left.

And now that's gone, too.

And you, Cary?

You?

You're alone now.

That's right.

I'm alone now.

I don't want you to be alone, Cary.

Let me stay with you.

Let me be with you.

Why, Nikki.

You're sweet.

Why, Nikki, you kept it.

You didn't forget.

No harm can come

to our true love.

No harm can come to our true love?

Oh, Nikki, you've become

very dear to me.

I want to help you.

Can't I do something

for you, too?

What do you want?

What can I get you?

Well, I've always wanted

a pair of Spanish earrings.
