91

00:
09:33,785 -- 00:09:34,945

Thank you.

92

00:

You feeI aII right, sir?

93

00:
11:57,328 -- 00:11:59,990

Oh, I haven't been up for a Iong time.

94

00:
12:00,164 -- 00:12:02,189

WouId you Iike some Dramamine?

95

00:
12:15,546 -- 00:12:18,140

There's onIy room for one man in there.

96

00:
12:18,983 -- 00:12:20,041

Ted.

97

00:
12:20,218 -- 00:12:23,585

-Dad. I thought you weren't coming.

I came home earIy and found your note.

99

00:
12:25,790 -- 00:12:27,951

I guess you meant for me to read it Iater.

100

00:
12:28,126 -- 00:12:31,186

EIIen, I've got to taIk to you.

Joey can sit in my seat back there.

101

00:
12:31,362 -- 00:12:33,523

I just don't want to go over it anymore.

102

00:
12:33,698 -- 00:12:35,495

I just thought--

103

00:
12:35,967 -- 00:12:37,992

How'd you Iike to go up in the cockpit,

Joey?

104

00:
12:38,169 -- 00:12:39,158

CouId we?

105

00:
12:39,337 -- 00:12:41,601

I'II check and see

if they'II Iet us up there.

106

00:
12:41,773 -- 00:12:45,004

Be reasonabIe, Janet.

I can't heIp breaking our date in Vancouver.

107

00:
12:45,176 -- 00:12:48,634

I've gotta be in SeattIe by tomorrow night

or I'II Iose the Lake CIub job.

108

00:
12:48,813 -- 00:12:51,441

You know what it means

if I can work into that MC spot?

109

00:
12:51,616 -- 00:12:53,106

We couId be married by summer.

110

00:
12:53,284 -- 00:12:56,219

That sounds a IittIe famiIiar,

Iike one of your routines.

111

00:
12:56,387 -- 00:12:58,787

I'm sure whatever your reasons,

they're exceIIent.

112

00:
12:58,956 -- 00:13:00,287

-Thank you.

-Your name, sir?

113

00:
13:00,458 -- 00:13:01,447

Stryker.

114

00:
13:01,626 -- 00:13:04,322

Oh, I was just speaking

to your wife and IittIe boy.

115

00:
13:04,495 -- 00:13:07,328

-I didn't know you were traveIing together.

-That's aII right.

116

00:
13:07,498 -- 00:13:09,329

I wonder if you couId do me a favor?

117

00:
13:09,500 -- 00:13:12,697

My boy has never been

inside of a cockpit before...

118

00:
13:12,870 -- 00:13:16,169

...and Iike aII kids,

he's crazy about pIanes and piIots.

119

00:
13:16,341 -- 00:13:18,070

Oh, I'm sure we can arrange that.

120

00:
13:18,242 -- 00:13:20,506

Temperature's creeping up again

on Number 3, BiII.

121

00:
13:20,678 -- 00:13:22,908

I'II open the cowI fIaps a IittIe more.

122

00:
13:24,182 -- 00:13:25,740

It's stiII running a IittIe hot.

123

00:
13:25,917 -- 00:13:27,214

We have visitors.

124

00:
13:27,385 -- 00:13:28,613

-HeIIo.

-Hi.

125

00:
13:28,786 -- 00:13:31,584

and our first officer, Mr. Stewart.

126

00:
13:31,756 -- 00:13:34,122

And this is Mr. Stryker

and his son, Joey.

127

00:
13:34,292 -- 00:13:37,557

We don't want to be in the way

but I thought the boy might have a Iook.

128

00:
13:37,729 -- 00:13:40,357

-You feeIing any better?

-Yeah, I'm okay now.

129

We have a choice tonight:

GriIIed haIibut or Iamb.

131

00:
13:44,702 -- 00:13:46,863

-The fish. It was good Iast week.

-Same for me.

132

00:
13:47,038 -- 00:13:49,097

-Okay.

-That's what I'd Iike too, pIease.

133

00:
13:49,273 -- 00:13:52,572

I'II serve it as soon as you come back.

What about you, Mr. Stryker?

134

00:
13:52,744 -- 00:13:54,678

-I'II have the meat.

-AII right.

135

00:
13:54,846 -- 00:13:57,314

Come on, move up here.

You can see better.

136

00:
13:57,949 -- 00:14:02,010

Joey, here's something we give our speciaI

visitors. WouId you Iike to have it?

137

00:
14:02,920 -- 00:14:04,820

Thank you. Thanks a Iot.

138

00:
14:04,989 -- 00:14:06,581

You ever been in a cockpit before?

139

00:
14:06,758 -- 00:14:09,192

No, sir,

I've never been up in a pIane before.

140

00:
14:09,360 -- 00:14:10,349

How do you Iike it?

141

00:
14:10,528 -- 00:14:13,964

SweII. Are those the things

that work the propeIIers?

142

00:
14:14,132 -- 00:14:15,190

How'd you know that?

143

00:
14:15,366 -- 00:14:18,563

My dad, he was a fIyer in the war.

He fIew jets.

144

00:
14:18,736 -- 00:14:22,103

I've toId you before, Joey,

they didn't have jets when I fIew.

145

00:
14:23,141 -- 00:14:25,837

WeII, he fIew a Iot anyway. Fighters.

146

00:
14:26,010 -- 00:14:28,308

Shot down a Iot of pIanes, too,

didn't you, Dad?

147

00:
14:28,479 -- 00:14:30,709

-Joey.

-And you never fIy anymore?

148

00:
14:30,882 -- 00:14:33,373

I thought you guys

never got it out of your system.

149

00:
14:33,551 -- 00:14:36,645

-Do you want me to check the weather?

-No, I'II get it. Excuse me.

150

00:
14:36,821 -- 00:14:38,288

We better get back now.

151

00:
14:38,456 -- 00:14:40,651

Joey can stay here for a whiIe,

if he'd Iike to.

152

00:
14:40,825 -- 00:14:41,917

CouId I, Dad?

153

00:
14:42,093 -- 00:14:45,460

Okay, if you don't get in the way.

Thanks very much.

154

00:
14:45,997 -- 00:14:47,828

FIight 7 1 4 to Winnipeg Radio.

155

00:
14:47,999 -- 00:14:49,694

CIimbing, cIimbing to cruise 8000.

156

00:
14:49,867 -- 00:14:51,926

What's the Iatest on the weather,

pIease?

157

00:
14:52,103 -- 00:14:55,004

It's not good. Looks like snow

and ice crystals around Regina.

158

00:
14:55,173 -- 00:14:57,334

Most likely some fog in an hour or two.

159

00:
14:57,508 -- 00:15:00,443

But you're not going into Calgary,

so that shouldn't bother you.

160

00:
15:00,611 -- 00:15:02,135

What's the forecast on Vancouver?

161

00:
15:02,313 -- 00:15:04,543

Should be all right when the fog clears,

captain.

162

00:
15:04,715 -- 00:15:07,149

FIight 7 1 4. Thanks a Iot.

163

00:
15:07,885 -- 00:15:09,785

WeII, Joey,

what do you think of aII this?

164

00:
15:09,954 -- 00:15:12,650

WouId you Iike to grow up

and be a piIot Iike your dad?

165

00:
15:12,990 -- 00:15:15,151

Try it again with me, EIIen.

Just try.

166

00:
15:15,326 -- 00:15:17,089

I have.

167

00:
15:17,261 -- 00:15:21,095

I've tried to beIieve

that you'd take hoId somewhere.

168

00:
15:21,265 -- 00:15:23,233

Ted, face it for once.

169

00:
15:23,401 -- 00:15:25,494

We've been on the run ever since the war.

170

00:
15:25,670 -- 00:15:27,900

Different cities, different jobs.

171

00:
15:28,072 -- 00:15:32,566

And aII the time, you've kept growing

further and further away from Joey and me.

172

00:
15:32,944 -- 00:15:34,138

He's needed you, Ted.

173

00:
15:36,380 -- 00:15:39,816

I've needed you,

but you were never there.

174

00:
15:39,984 -- 00:15:43,317

I know things haven't been right

for a Iong time, EIIen.

175

00:
15:43,754 -- 00:15:47,622

But it'II be different,

Iike it was at the beginning. Remember?

176

00:
15:47,792 -- 00:15:51,125

I remember everything.

It's aII I've ever had to go on.
