Okay, good-bye.
Why, Miss Horn.
Welcome home.
Gee, your stuff's been wonderful.
Thanks.
Hiya, Phyl, glad you're back.
How are things breaking, Eddy?
No complaints.
Good.
Are you alone?
What's on your mind?
I thought you might be lonesome
Or even one.
What else?
Do you mind?
One of these is gonna taste of toothpaste.
I like bourbon and toothpaste.
To years, Duffy.
I got the toothpaste.
And the drink.
Look, I know it's late.
But I'd like to speak my piece
before I go.
Just so you keep it under a thousand words.
It's only two words.
I'm scared.
I mean it, Duffy.
Ever since I sold my first squib for $5
I've been fighting to get to the top.
I've been ruthless, connived,
stepped all over people.
Worked like a man in a man's world,
and I made it.
But I don't want to lose you, Duffy.
Cause this is home plate.
If I lose you I'll roam around like a homeless
alley cat with no place to come back to.
Don't throw me out.
Why is it the only time you ever sound
like a woman is in this crummy room?
Because it's ours, Duffy.
I shouldn't have let you in.
You couldn't keep me out.
It's always been that way with us.
I won't be running out on you, Duffy.
I'll either do my writing from here or...
or Ill give it up.
Honest.
Welcome home, Mrs. Duff.
What's the matter?
I've only got one shoe on.
Let's do something about that,
shall we?
Anybody home?
In here.
What in heaven's name are you doing?
As you can plainly see,
I'm cooking a meatloaf.
No cracks.
Put that silly ladle down and start packing.
Uh-huh. What I said last week still goes.
The world's trembling on the brink
and you're bending over a stove.
The whole Pacific is going to blow
wide open.
We just got word to have someone
take off in two hours to cover it.
They're only taking six reporters, Phyl,
and you're one of them.
The army will just have to do
without me.
Or is it the Navy.
I don't know, I only know it's big.
This came right from the top.
This is no sideshow.
I don't know what it is
but I'll make a small bet right now
it'll sound like the crack of doom
when it comes.
Now get going.
No, sir. Duffy and I signed a peace treaty.
I'm not going to blow up my world.
Your world? This is the biggest assignment
I've ever offered you.
It's so big I thought of going myself
but I'm bringing it to you.
This will make you the biggest newspaperwoman
since Nellie Bly.
Never heard of her.
Well, you've heard of Mike Harrison
and I gave you your first job.
You're Phyllis Horn
because I made you Phyllis Horn.
But Mark, you're asking me
to break up my marriage.
Duffy's a grown man. I'll make him understand.
Admit it, Phyl, you want to go.
Of course I want to go.
But I don't want to lose my husband.
How could I ever tell him?
Stick a note in the meatloaf.
You're not going to lose him.
I'll take full responsibility.
I'll tell him you fought me like a tiger,
that I ordered you to go,
that I threatened to break you,
that you'd never work for another newspaper
as long as you lived.
He'll listen to reason.
You see, I'm a very persuasive man.
I just persuaded you, didn't I?
Let me handle Duffy. Then you call
from San Francisco and clinch it.
The car'll pick you up in an hour.
I won't even have time to say good-bye.
Don't worry, I'll think up a farewell message
that'll have him panting like a schoolboy.
So long, Mark.
I just got your message.
And don't you bother to call
from San Francisco.
Don't be sore, Duffy.
You heard him, I'll only be gone a month.
Two at the most.
I've got to do this.
Sure, I heard.
Thanks for hesitating.
You gotta hurry, you only got an hour.
But I must cover this assignment.
Don't you understand?
That's the trouble. I do understand.
I'm sorry for you, Phyl.
You tried very hard to be a woman.
You just couldn't make it.
Well, Doc?
This makes you practically unique
in these islands.
A baby.
This really complicates things.
I'll make arrangements to get you back
to the States. I'll manage everything.
You couldn't manage to get
my husband back for me, could you?
Is he going to be surprised.
You know what his grounds were?
He said I wasn't a woman.
Hello.
San Francisco? All right, I'll take it.
Hello.
Who?
Oh, Phyllis.
No, this is Max.
Yes... Duffy's not here.
He got married last week.
Didn't you know?
Yeah, to a Miss Smith.
He... hello.
Hello, Phyl...
Phyl!
I'm still here, Max.
Sorry I woke you up.
If you see Duffy...
tell him I wish him all the luck in the world.
Well, is it all over?
All over.
Phyl, I hope you're not making a mistake.
It was the only sensible thing to do.
I don't want to mess up Duffy's life.
He's married. I'm free to do
as I please.
The kid'll have a mother and a father.
Now we can all scramble for ourselves.
Yeah.
Hey, fellas, come on,
What's happening?
I don't know.
They're getting some kind of report,
but I can't hear what they're saying.
Wait here, I'll keep you posted.
Sorry...
Phyllis Horn, Transamerica News Service.
Okay, Miss.
A couple of rock falls so far,
but nothing troublesome
Got a long way to go yet,
but not as long as the North Wall route.
Like Stephani said, the shortest way
is the steepest way.
Spotting plane to Stephani.
Spotting plane to Stephani.
Loose rock in the chute above you.
Bear a couple of points East if you can.
Bear a couple of points East if you can.
Over.
It looks better a little bit to the left.
Stephani to plane. Stephani to plane.
He says okay.
Headquarters to Stephani.
How far would you say you have to go?
Over.
Hold it a minute while I ask him.
He's got his hands full right now.
Look out! Run!
Come in, Stephani. Come in, Stephani.
Headquarters to spotting plane.
Headquarters to spotting plane.
Have lost contact with Stephani.
Will you try? Over.
Spotting plane to headquarters.
Rock fall came right down on them.
Can't see anything now for dust.
Spotting plane to Stephani.
Can you hear me? Come in, Stephani.
Headquarters to Stephani.
Can you hear me, come in Stephani.
Over.
Hello, headquarters.
It's clearing up now, I can see him.
I'll get this in for you guys.
Cover for me.
What's wrong?
I don't know yet.
Please, you must tell me, what's happened?
There's been an accident.
I can see them loading him now.
It's gonna be a pretty tricky operation...
It's all right. There was a slight accident.
One of the men's hurt
and they're bringing him down.
Are you sure?
that injured man to a hospital.
From here it looks like he's in plenty of pain.
Let's lay him right down here.
What's your name?
We'll give you all the dope
as soon as we take care him.
Roy. Roy.
Where were you when the slide hit?
