Come Back!

Come Back,

Please! Oh!

[Music Playing]

We Had To Build

The Game Room Special

For You Tigers.

Do You Like It?

Oh!

Yeah! Yes!

Yeah! Tina!

Tina.

Oh, Oh.

Anthony:

I Got A Winner.

Yeah! Whoo!

Hey. You Forgot Somethin'.

Did You Look?

No. But I'd Like To.

Go Ahead.

Wow, These Are Good!

These Are Really Good.

Thanks.

Even Make Me

A Little Homesick.

Afraid To Say

I'm Even Missin'

That Rufus Dog,

The Mangy Mutt

That He Is.

[Laughs]

Dad, When Are You

Coming Home?

What Do You Mean?

We're Gonna Be Dockin'

On Friday.

No, I Mean...

When Are You

Coming Home For Good?

Is That Why

You Came On Board,

To Ask Me That?

Ok, This Is My Job.

So Get A New One.

You've Got The Degrees.

You Could Do, Like,

Anything You Want.

This Is What I Do.

Must Be Nice.

Travel All Over

The World,

No Responsibilities.

I'm Responsible

To A Lot Of People.

Strangers, Dad.

What About Us?

We're Strangers,

Too.

We Move All Over

The Place,

See You

For A Few Weeks

Every 4 Or 5 Months

Or Whenever The Navy

Says It's Ok.

The Navy Is A Way Of Life.

I Mean, You Go Into It,

And You Know The Sacrifices

You Have To Make.

Well, You've Done It

For My Entire Life.

I Got

A Detention First Day

Of This New School.

Some Kids Were Picking

On Me And Kiley,

And I Was Trying

To Defend Her.

They Said

I Was Fighting.

They Jumped Us Because

We Were The New Kids,

The Navy Brats.

That's Us, Dad.

We're Always

The New Kids,

And It's Not Fun.

All These Things

Are Going On With Us,

And You Don't Know

About 'Em, 'Cause

You're Never Here.

I See All These Kids,

And I Hear Them Gripe

About What Jerks

Their Fathers Are,

And I Want To

Just Tell Them

To Shut Up.

"At Least Yours

Is There."

Dad, I'm Tired

Of Being A Navy Brat.

I Want A Father

Who's There Every Day.

Well, What Do You Think?

That I Don't Want

To Be Home?

You Think That It's Easy

Being Away?

Is It?

Oh...

Look, After Friday,

I'm Gonna Be Home

For A While.

All Right?

[Scoffs]

"For A While."

Everything We Do

Is Always

For A While.

When Are We Gonna

Get Something

Permanent, Dad? Huh?

I'm Listening To You.

I Hear What You're Saying.

It's About The Family,

So We'll Need

To Talk About It

As A Family

After We Get Home.

No.

Because

When You Get Home...

We're All

So Different.

We're Happy, Dad...

For A While.

I Want To Do It Now.

What Do You Think?

I Don't Know. I--

I Don't Know

What To Think.

It's Kind Of

A Big Curve Ball

You Threw Me There.

Look, We're Gonna

Get A Chance

To Keep Talking About It,

And We Will.

That Means No.

Maddie.

You Know I Love You All...

Don't You?

I Know.

[Sighs]

[Whistle Blows]

P.A.:
Good Morning,

Constellation.

We've Got A Lot

Of Exciting Activities

For You Tigers Today.

We Bake Over 2,500 Rolls

A Day,

And We Go Through

About 800 Pounds

Of Cookie Dough.

Go Over 10,000 Eggs

Just For One Breakfast,

And We Put Out Over

15,000 Meals A Day.

Danny, One Call

To The Pentagon,

And Your Uncle Bobby

Can Arrange A Transfer--

No, No, No. I Like

What I'm Doin', Dad.

It's Not, You Know,

Glamorous Or Anything,

But I Mean,

It's Important.

A Sailor's Gotta Eat,

Right?

Oh, Yeah.

And I Guess

When You Muster Out,

You Can Get A Job

Flipping Burgers

At Any Joint

In The Country.

Think About That,

Danny.

Look, Dad, I Gotta

Get Back To The Galley.

Let Me Give You

Some Directions...

Oh, I Know

Where I'm Going.

Yeah, But I Want

To Show You--

Danny, Just A Boat.

See You At Dinner,

Son.

Yeah.

Heh Heh!

Heh Heh Heh!

Heh Heh!

[Buzzer Buzzes]

So This Is It.

She's A Beauty, Huh?

F-18 Hornet.

So What Do You Think?

She's Amazing.

How Do You Know

What All This Stuff Does?

Aw, A Couple Years

Of Flight School.

I Mean, You Just Don't

Hop In And Start It Up.

I Can't Wait

For The Airshow.

We Can Get

Some Great Pix

From Up On

The Flight Deck.

Uh, No Way.

Against Regs For Any

Unauthorized Personnel

To Be On The Flight Deck

During Flight Ops.

But We Won't

Get In--In The Way.

Forget It.

You Two Can Watch It

From Vultures Row.

We Won't Be Able

To See Anything

From Up There.

You'll Just Be

A Little Speck!

Tina, This Is

The Most Dangerous Part

Of Our Whole Operation.

There's No Margin

For Error.

That Means No

Unnecessary Personnel

On Deck. Got It?

P.A.:
Stinger Squadron, Report

To The Pilots' Ready Room.

Now Come On,

Let's Get Out Of Here.

I've Got To Get Ready.

Hey...

Maybe My Dad Can Help.

[Wheezing]

Excuse Me.

Excuse Me, Sir.

Should Call This

The Uss Mount Everest.

This Tabletop Represents

The Flight Deck,

And I Know It Looks

Kinda Like A Game Board,

But It's Pretty Serious,

'Cause It's Dangerous

Out There.

We Gotta Know

Where Every Plane Is

At Every Moment.

Can You See All Right

Down There?

Chief, Why Don't You

Help Him Up There.

Thanks.

How's That?

Better.

[Making Jet Sounds]

You Want To

Put Those Down, Son?

Man, I Was Just Playing.

You Can't Really

Clown Around Up Here.

You Just Put Those Down

In The Wrong Place.

If It Gets Overlooked,

We Could Have

A Pilot's Life At Stake.

Clear?

Yeah, It's Cool.

I'm Good. Whatever.

Chief, Why Don't You

Take Over Here?

If You Have Any Questions,

You Ask Chief, All Right?

Dad, We Were

Just Wondering

If We Could Be

Up On The Flight Deck

During The Airshow.

No, No,

That's Not Possible.

But Tina Just Wants

To Get Some Good Shots

Of Her Sister Taking Off.

No, It's Too Dangerous

Out There.

But We'll Be

Out Of The Way.

There Are No Exceptions.

But You Can Get

Some Good Shots

Up On Vultures Row.

All Right?

Hey, I Can Get You Guys

Out There, No Problem.

And How Are You

Gonna Do That?

Follow Me.

[Wheezing]

Oh!

If A Sailor Can Do It...

[Wheezing]

I Can Do It.

[Sighs]

P.A.:
Hey, We've Got

A Great Airshow

Lined Up For You Tigers

Today.

The Top Hatters

And The Black Aces

Will Provide

A Coordinance Demonstration,

While The Stingers

Will Entertain You

Let's Go.

With A Strike Fighter

Bombing Run.

Before Every Flight Op,

Come On.

The Crew Does

An F.O.D. Walk-Down.

That Stands For

Foreign Objects And Damage.

They're Making Sure

Nothing Is On The Runway.

A Pebble Or A Loose Bolt

Lying There

Could Get Sucked

Into The Engine

And Cause A Malfunction.

Come On. Come On

So, That Being Completed,

Let's Get This Show Started.

[Engines Roaring]

[Squeaking]

[Breathing Heavily]

Hey, Buddy,

Can You Give Me

A Little Hand Here?

Go Give Him

A Hand.

P.A.:
Next Up

On The Catapult

Is Our First Wave

Of Strike Fighters.

This One's About To Take Off.

This Way.

Excuse Me, Dear.

P.A.:
Approaching

From The Starboard Side

On Their Low-Level

Bombing Run

Are The Black Aces!

Next Up Will Be The Stinger

Strike Fighter Squadron.

Let's Give It Up

For The Stingers!

Anthony:
Follow Me.

And Stay Down!

Come On, Let's Do This

And Get Out Of Here.

Just Hold On.

Man, This Is Tight!

Hey, What's That?

That's The Catapult.

It's Sort Of Like

A Giant Slingshot.
