Zero Hour! Page #3

MostIy I remember

the nights when we were together.

178

00:
15:57,969 -- 00:16:00,529

I remember how you used to hoId me...

179

00:
16:01,172 -- 00:16:06,109

...and then afterwards how we'd watch

untiI the sun finaIIy came up.

180

00:
16:06,878 -- 00:16:09,142

When it did, it was aImost Iike--

181

00:
16:09,647 -- 00:16:14,016

Like each new day was created

onIy for us.

182

00:
16:14,185 -- 00:16:17,916

That's the way I've aIways wanted it to be,

no matter what's happened, EIIen.

183

00:
16:18,089 -- 00:16:20,489

But I remember other things too.

184

00:
16:20,858 -- 00:16:24,316

How you began to change

right in front of my eyes.

185

00:
16:24,495 -- 00:16:27,396

Everything that we had together,

Ted, is--

186

00:
16:27,565 -- 00:16:30,227

It's gotten Iost somewhere.

187

00:
16:30,401 -- 00:16:35,896

It isn't what you did,

it's more and more what you didn't do.

188

00:
16:36,541 -- 00:16:39,442

Maybe I shouId have been

of more heIp to you...

189

00:
16:40,211 -- 00:16:42,645

...but you wouIdn't even Iet me do that.

190

00:
16:43,848 -- 00:16:46,715

AII I've ever wanted was to see you

stop running away.

191

00:
16:46,884 -- 00:16:50,115

To face the one big mistake you ever made

in your whoIe Iife.

192

00:
16:50,288 -- 00:16:53,382

It's the kind of mistake that any man

couId make under fire.

193

00:
16:53,925 -- 00:16:59,295

And I've waited. Waited so Iong for you

to make a stand somewhere...

194

00:
16:59,463 -- 00:17:00,691

...for the three of us.

195

00:
17:00,865 -- 00:17:02,799

I wiII. I promise.

196

00:
17:02,967 -- 00:17:06,130

Joey and I can't Iive any Ionger

on your promises. I'm sorry.

197

00:
17:06,304 -- 00:17:08,898

Don't you feeI anything for me at aII

anymore?

198

00:
17:11,676 -- 00:17:15,043

It takes so many things to make Iove Iast.

199

00:
17:15,513 -- 00:17:17,981

Most of aII it takes respect.

200

00:
17:19,617 -- 00:17:22,484

I can't Iive with a man I don't respect.

201

00:
17:31,929 -- 00:17:34,727

-Here, put it in the cupboard quick.

-Boys.

202

00:
17:34,899 -- 00:17:36,389

It's just a drop of water.

203

00:
17:36,567 -- 00:17:40,059

-Are you ready for something to eat?

-We're about worked up to it at that.

204

00:
17:40,237 -- 00:17:42,671

What wouId you Iike?

GriIIed haIibut or Iamb chops?

205

00:
17:42,840 -- 00:17:45,809

Now, isn't that just Iike home?

I'II have a wee bit of haIibut.

206

00:
17:45,977 -- 00:17:47,877

-Are there chips come with it?

-Not chips.

207

00:
17:48,045 -- 00:17:50,878

But we have the speciaIty of the house,

au gratin potatoes.

208

00:
17:51,048 -- 00:17:53,642

-What about you gentIemen?

-I beIieve I'II have the meat.

209

00:
17:53,818 -- 00:17:54,978

-And so wiII I.

-Okay.

210

00:
17:55,152 -- 00:17:57,177

Why don't you come to the big game

with us?

211

00:
17:57,355 -- 00:18:00,552

-It shouId be a good one.

-Oh, I don't know anything about footbaII.

212

00:
18:00,725 -- 00:18:03,091

You'II be right at home

with my two friends here.

213

00:
18:03,260 -- 00:18:07,663

-They don't know anything about it, either.

-Oh, I can hardIy beIieve that.

214

00:
18:07,832 -- 00:18:11,131

You just don't understand

this new formation the Argos have.

215

00:
18:11,302 -- 00:18:15,466

This chap goes way out into the fIat,

where he can take off fast or go Iong.

216

00:
18:15,640 -- 00:18:19,098

That's what they caII a fIanker.

And you just cannot defense against it.

217

00:
18:26,584 -- 00:18:29,417

-We'II see you Iater, Joey.

-Okay. Thanks a Iot.

218

00:
18:29,587 -- 00:18:31,555

-Nice boy, huh?

-Sure is.

219

00:
18:31,722 -- 00:18:34,520

Hey, we've been waiting for you.

LittIe bit Iate tonight.

220

00:
18:34,692 -- 00:18:36,853

-Who wants to be first?

-Go ahead. I got it.

221

00:
18:37,028 -- 00:18:38,359

Okay.

222

00:
18:39,430 -- 00:18:40,419

How's the weather?

223

00:
18:40,598 -- 00:18:42,429

Not good.

We've got heavy stuff ahead.

224

00:
18:42,600 -- 00:18:44,591

It might get rough

unIess we cIimb on top.

225

00:
18:44,769 -- 00:18:47,795

-Do you think we'II get in on time?

-About a haIf hour Iate.

226

00:
18:47,972 -- 00:18:49,030

-Hey, Jan.

-Yeah?

227

00:
18:49,206 -- 00:18:52,767

How are you and your boyfriend doing?

Think you'II ever get him to the aItar?

228

00:
18:52,943 -- 00:18:55,605

I'II get him if I have to drag him

every inch of the way.

229

00:
18:55,780 -- 00:18:59,147

After aII, remember I've been trained

for every kind of emergency.

230

00:
18:59,316 -- 00:19:01,876

-How's the fish?

-Not bad, not bad at aII.

231

00:
19:02,053 -- 00:19:04,453

Save me some seconds

if you have some Ieft over, huh?

232

00:
19:04,622 -- 00:19:06,089

Save you some seconds?

233

00:
19:06,257 -- 00:19:10,421

Mr. Stewart, I think with your appetite,

that this airIine can't afford you any Ionger.

234

00:
19:10,594 -- 00:19:12,824

WeII, back to the kitchen.

235

00:
19:12,997 -- 00:19:15,522

I sure wish you had fIown jets, Dad.

236

00:
19:15,700 -- 00:19:17,964

I'm afraid they're a IittIe too fast for me,

Joey.

237

00:
19:18,135 -- 00:19:21,002

Why don't you fIy anymore?

I wish you wouId.

238

00:
19:21,172 -- 00:19:23,470

Then you couId take me up with you.

239

00:
19:23,641 -- 00:19:25,836

Maybe you couId even teach me to fIy.

240

00:
19:26,010 -- 00:19:29,969

That'd be great.

We couId have a Iot of fun.

241

00:
19:30,815 -- 00:19:33,079

I just don't seem to have the time

anymore, Joey.

242

00:
19:33,250 -- 00:19:36,686

-You never have time for anything.

-I know.

243

00:
19:36,854 -- 00:19:39,084

-Dad?

-Yes?

244

00:
19:39,256 -- 00:19:42,657

Why were Mom and me going away

without you?

245

00:
19:43,694 -- 00:19:47,425

WeII, Joey, your mother feIt

that it might be a good idea...

246

00:
19:47,598 -- 00:19:50,567

...for you two

to have a IittIe trip together.

247

00:
19:50,735 -- 00:19:55,035

And I just didn't know whether

I couId go or not, untiI the Iast minute.

248

00:
19:55,206 -- 00:19:59,836

I was afraid we weren't going

to see you again, ever.

249

00:
20:00,845 -- 00:20:03,746

Where did you ever get that idea?

250

00:
20:12,957 -- 00:20:16,085

-Are you finished?

-Oh, thank you.

251

00:
20:16,260 -- 00:20:19,559

I don't Iike this rain, Iove.

Our boys wouId get hurt on a wet fieId.

252

00:
20:19,730 -- 00:20:22,824

It's gonna cIear off in Vancouver

by tomorrow. We got that report.

253

00:
20:23,000 -- 00:20:25,468

I'm gIad to hear it.

I can rest a bit easier now.

254

00:
20:25,636 -- 00:20:27,194

You see, between you and me...

255

00:
20:27,371 -- 00:20:29,862

...I have some nice wagers

on the contest tomorrow.

256

00:
20:30,040 -- 00:20:33,476

-Oh, weII, I wish you a Iot of Iuck.

-WeII, thank you very much.

257

00:
20:38,349 -- 00:20:42,479

-WouId you care of a drop, madam?

-CertainIy not.

258

00:
20:56,200 -- 00:20:58,691

I had such a good sIeep.

259

00:
20:58,869 -- 00:21:01,804

Wait a minute,

I think there's someone staring at us.
