1. Hey, Jack.Copy !req
2. How you doing?Copy !req
3. - Get that nose up!
- Nose up!Copy !req
4. Look out!Copy !req
5. Where you going, Toomey?Copy !req
6. Are you gonna wash me out?Copy !req
7. You really wanna fly airplanes?Copy !req
8. More than anything else, sir.Copy !req
9. Okay.Copy !req
10. Give you another chance.Copy !req
11. Look,
you got the makings of a good pilot.Copy !req
12. You're just afraid to
stall the airplane.Copy !req
13. Now, in order to land an airplane right,Copy !req
14. you gotta make it stop flying,
don't you? You gotta stall.Copy !req
15. Most of us do that six inches
off the ground, not ten feet.Copy !req
16. I know.Copy !req
17. - Now, you get in the back.
- What for, sir?Copy !req
18. Take us around and give me three
full-stall landings right in the wind.Copy !req
19. - I can't.
- I say you can.Copy !req
20. You're almost there.Copy !req
21. You really think I can?Copy !req
22. I know you can.Copy !req
23. The point isCopy !req
24. you've gotta know you can.Copy !req
25. What do you say?Copy !req
26. - I'll try, sir.
- All right.Copy !req
27. Now, just so we show it to everybody,
I'm going to keep my hands outside.Copy !req
28. I'm not gonna touch the controls.Copy !req
29. Toomey,
I'm gonna be your first passenger.Copy !req
30. On and set. Contact.Copy !req
31. Okay. It's all yours.Copy !req
32. Who is that with Edgar?Copy !req
33. It's the kid who keeps landing too high.Copy !req
34. He's afraid of the ground.
I couldn't get anywhere with him.Copy !req
35. I gave him to Anscombe.Copy !req
36. Get it level.Copy !req
37. Get it level!Copy !req
38. Toomey? Toomey.Copy !req
39. Watch the shed. Move left!Copy !req
40. Get it over! Move left!Copy !req
41. I can't!Copy !req
42. Watch the shed, Toomey!Copy !req
43. Toomey? I got it!Copy !req
44. Let go of the stick!Copy !req
45. Let go!Copy !req
46. Air speed!Copy !req
47. - Jimmy, watch the road.
- I keep forgetting to fix this chin strap.Copy !req
48. It's all stretched out of shape,
and my ears keep freezing.Copy !req
49. I'm going to punch a new hole in it.
I just keep forgetting.Copy !req
50. What if you didn't have
someone to take care of you?Copy !req
51. What are you doing?Copy !req
52. You don't want to go deaf,
on top of everything else.Copy !req
53. Now, Angel, that's the wrong tool.Copy !req
54. I hit a bump, your hand slips,
there goes the chin strap.Copy !req
55. We'd have to buy a whole new cap.Copy !req
56. Now, where's that in the budget?Copy !req
57. There's a leather punch
at the shop in Boise.Copy !req
58. I just keep forgetting to use it.Copy !req
59. Keep forgetting to use it.Copy !req
60. How you doing, pal? You awake yet?Copy !req
61. I'm getting there.Copy !req
62. Tillie! I am tired of waiting.
You're making us late!Copy !req
63. I'm speaking to you, young lady.Copy !req
64. You're going to go through this
with your chin held high.Copy !req
65. And you're gonna come out the other side
and you're gonna be fine.Copy !req
66. Do you hear me?Copy !req
67. I expect only the best from you.Copy !req
68. Tillie! I am waiting!Copy !req
69. Just a minute.Copy !req
70. Come in.Copy !req
71. - Have a good trip, Tillie.
- I'll try.Copy !req
72. Ain't you going to say anything?Copy !req
73. So long, Tillie.Copy !req
74. I am doing this because
I care for you and your future,Copy !req
75. hard as that may be for you to believe.Copy !req
76. It's very hard, father.Copy !req
77. Hopefully, your aunt will know
how to raise you.Copy !req
78. I confess, I don't. I'm not a mother.Copy !req
79. I did the best I could
under the circumstances.Copy !req
80. Under the circumstances, so did I.Copy !req
81. Hopefully, you will return at some pointCopy !req
82. with a new attitude
and a new sense of responsibility.Copy !req
83. I sincerely hope so.Copy !req
84. - A nine?
- Yeah.Copy !req
85. - All right.
- Pull it over.Copy !req
86. Don't want to carry it.Copy !req
87. - Watch that starboard weight.
- All right.Copy !req
88. Thanks, Jimmy.Copy !req
89. - See you in Boise.
- See you in Boise.Copy !req
90. Take care.Copy !req
91. Meet me tonight around 7:00.Copy !req
92. Come on over here for a second,
would you?Copy !req
93. - Should I bring my kit?
- Yeah. Do bring your kit.Copy !req
94. - What's that?
- Lunch. I was making one for Jimmy.Copy !req
95. I thought I'd make one for you, too.Copy !req
96. Are you flying on Thursday?Copy !req
97. The schedule isn't out yet.Copy !req
98. Because if you're not,
I was going to invite you to dinner.Copy !req
99. I'm making turkey with chestnut
stuffing. An old family recipe.Copy !req
100. I'll probably get one run, for sure.Copy !req
101. Thursday's Thanksgiving.Copy !req
102. You never know around here.Copy !req
103. - Edgar!
- Yeah.Copy !req
104. Edgar...Copy !req
105. I'm not after your heart and soul.Copy !req
106. I'm just trying to be friendly.Copy !req
107. I know that, Rose.Copy !req
108. I was kind of getting
the idea that you liked me.Copy !req
109. Well, I like you.Copy !req
110. I like you a lot.Copy !req
111. That's good enough for me.Copy !req
112. You're a good woman, Rose.Copy !req
113. I just think...Copy !req
114. It'd be better if you invite
some other guy over for dinner.Copy !req
115. Thanks.Copy !req
116. - Morning, Probosky.
- She's ready to go.Copy !req
117. Told Stiller to change
the oil lines at Boise.Copy !req
118. You're almost at gross.Copy !req
119. - How many sacks?
- Only six.Copy !req
120. - Why's she so heavy?
- Didn't they tell you? You got a passenger.Copy !req
121. Who's the pilot?Copy !req
122. His name is Edgar Anscombe.Copy !req
123. I suppose he's qualified.Copy !req
124. As far as I know.Copy !req
125. Aren't you sure?Copy !req
126. If you mean, does he have a logbook with
lots of hours in it, the answer's yes.Copy !req
127. However, logbooks can
sometimes be works of fiction.Copy !req
128. When he first came here,
I asked him certain questions.Copy !req
129. He answered them correctly.
On that basis, I hired him.Copy !req
130. - I see.
- Morning, Edgar.Copy !req
131. This is Mr. Hansen.Copy !req
132. He owns the bank in town,
along with most of my airplanes.Copy !req
133. - How do you do?
- Hello.Copy !req
134. Maybe you've read his sign.Copy !req
135. Yeah.Copy !req
136. This is his daughter, Tillie.Copy !req
137. She'll be flying with you this morning.Copy !req
138. Edgar and I have some details
to discuss, Mr. Hansen.Copy !req
139. Mind waiting outside by the plane?Copy !req
140. It's number 14.
The number's on the tail.Copy !req
141. Come along, Tillie.Copy !req
142. Why doesn't she take
a train like everybody else?Copy !req
143. Maybe the family is air-minded.Copy !req
144. Or maybe she saw Buddy Rogers in Wings.Copy !req
145. Maybe her father owns your airplanes.Copy !req
146. She represents 105 pounds of air freight
in a month when the averages are down.Copy !req
147. I was even considering mailing the
phone books to Pasco just to raise them.Copy !req
148. She suits my needs better.Copy !req
149. Want your weather?Copy !req
150. Twin Falls and Boise are
calling overcast at 500.Copy !req
151. Occasional breaks.
Visibility obscured to the west.Copy !req
152. - They don't know anything.
- Look,Copy !req
153. if you can't find a hole,
try to be back by 11:00.Copy !req
154. I can train the mail and avoid
nasty phone calls from the postmaster.Copy !req
155. You forgot this.Copy !req
156. You still think some guy will fly up
beside me and hold me up, don't you?Copy !req
157. It's regulation. You know that.Copy !req
158. Bureaucrats are very sensitive people.Copy !req
159. I wouldn't want 'em snooping around and
finding out we didn't take them seriously.Copy !req
160. I'm a pilot.Copy !req
161. I'm not a baby-sitter.Copy !req
162. I know how you feel.Copy !req
163. I even think I understand why.Copy !req
164. But you gotta remember that passengers
are the future of this business.Copy !req
165. We're never going to make
any money hauling mail.Copy !req
166. We have to learn to haul human beings.Copy !req
167. And that includes you.Copy !req
168. Have a good trip.Copy !req
169. - Your airplane's leaking.
- Don't touch anything, okay?Copy !req
170. Look, father. The thing is a wreck!Copy !req
171. Come on. Get in. Probosky.Copy !req
172. - I'll help you, lady.
- What about mine?Copy !req
173. - Your what?
- A parachute. You have one.Copy !req
174. It's a regulation.Copy !req
175. What if I have to jump?Copy !req
176. Nobody's jumping. I have to have one.Copy !req
177. Now, if you're coming with me,
get in the airplane.Copy !req
178. I'm not going. I can't.Copy !req
179. Do what the man says, Tillie.Copy !req
180. Why are you doing this?Copy !req
181. I told you, for your own good.Copy !req
182. You keep saying that.Copy !req
183. Tillie, you are embarrassing me
in front of these men.Copy !req
184. You say this is for me,Copy !req
185. but you don't have to go up
in a piece of junk...Copy !req
186. Get on!Copy !req
187. These men have a schedule to keep
like everybody else.Copy !req
188. - Sit up front.
- I'll do it myself, thank you very much!Copy !req
189. Mr. Anscombe.Copy !req
190. She is an affliction.Copy !req
191. But God made her that way
for reasons known only to him.Copy !req
192. - How long do you stop at Boise?
- About 20 minutes.Copy !req
193. I'd appreciate you
keeping an eye on her.Copy !req
194. Also,Copy !req
195. make sure that she meets
her aunt in Pasco.Copy !req
196. - What's she going to do?
- Run away, possibly.Copy !req
197. She is capable of anything.Copy !req
198. I say this to you man to man,Copy !req
199. if you know what I mean.Copy !req
200. - I'll get her to Pasco, anyway.
- Thanks.Copy !req
201. Have a good flight.Copy !req
202. If you gotta go potty or anything,
let's do it nowCopy !req
203. 'cause once we're up,
we don't come down.Copy !req
204. No? Okay.Copy !req
205. - When will they arrive?
- They'll have headwinds for sure.Copy !req
206. 1:30, around then.
I can call you when they land in Pasco.Copy !req
207. Yeah. I'd appreciate that.Copy !req
208. You don't have to worry.
They disappear at this end.Copy !req
209. After a certain amount of time,
they reappear at the other.Copy !req
210. It's quite safe.Copy !req
211. Hey, kid! Did you ever do this before?Copy !req
212. Get down.Copy !req
213. Here we go!Copy !req
214. Pretty.Copy !req
215. Where are we?Copy !req
216. Starting down for Boise.Copy !req
217. I don't see anything!Copy !req
218. Don't worry about it. It's down there.Copy !req
219. Boise.Copy !req
220. Just about three more.Copy !req
221. That's fine with me.Copy !req
222. - Hey, Jimmy.
- Hey, pal.Copy !req
223. You get a cup of coffee,
I'll change the oil lines.Copy !req
224. Okay. Thanks.Copy !req
225. Coffee shop's out back.Copy !req
226. Thank you.Copy !req
227. - Edgar.
- Morning, Lewis.Copy !req
228. - That one jelly?
- Yeah, last one. You want it?Copy !req
229. Save it for me.Copy !req
230. Thanks a lot.Copy !req
231. Do you mind?Copy !req
232. Boy...Copy !req
233. You really had me worried
coming through those clouds.Copy !req
234. I didn't think you knew
where you were going.Copy !req
235. They ought to invent a sort of tube
so people could talk.Copy !req
236. You'd know where you were.Copy !req
237. - Look, Millie...
- Tillie.Copy !req
238. Right. It's two more hours to Pasco,Copy !req
239. then I have to turn
around and do it again.Copy !req
240. This is one of the few breaks I get,
okay?Copy !req
241. I was just trying to pass the time.Copy !req
242. Have you always been a pilot?Copy !req
243. I got my license when
I was one year old.Copy !req
244. I've been flying commercially
since I was three and a half.Copy !req
245. Are you married?Copy !req
246. Where I come from, people don't ask
personal questions to strangers.Copy !req
247. Where I come from,
people try to be civil.Copy !req
248. Especially employees when
they're talking to customers.Copy !req
249. No. I'm not married,
and I don't plan to be.Copy !req
250. - How 'bout you?
- I feel the same way.Copy !req
251. I think that's wise,Copy !req
252. considering the way
you get along with men.Copy !req
253. What's that supposed to mean?Copy !req
254. Looked like your father wanted
to smack you back in Elko.Copy !req
255. My father smacks me all the time.Copy !req
256. That's his idea of how to be a father.Copy !req
257. This whole thing's his idea.Copy !req
258. He's sending me up to Seattle
to stay with the Howards.Copy !req
259. They have this son named William.Copy !req
260. He's my second cousin,
and he's in medical school.Copy !req
261. He's not much to look at.
They're trying to match us up.Copy !req
262. I have no interest in
him or any other boy.Copy !req
263. How'd you get that scar?Copy !req
264. Moravia says you're
the future of aviation.Copy !req
265. - Who's Moravia?
- He's my boss back in Elko.Copy !req
266. I hope he's wrong.Copy !req
267. If it's true, I don't like it.
You're 105 pounds of freight,Copy !req
268. and freight doesn't talk.Copy !req
269. May I have that doughnut, please?Copy !req
270. Hey, Edgar.
The lady wants your doughnut.Copy !req
271. - She can't have it.
- You can't have it.Copy !req
272. I don't see his name on it.
How much is it?Copy !req
273. It's a nickel. I'll cut it in half.Copy !req
274. It's impolite to read at the table.Copy !req
275. - Hey, Stiller.
- Yeah?Copy !req
276. - You got a call.
- Hold on a minute.Copy !req
277. It's your boss.Copy !req
278. I'll be right there.Copy !req
279. - You're dripping.
- What?Copy !req
280. You're dripping jelly
all over the place.Copy !req
281. Look...Copy !req
282. You don't want to be here,
and I sure as hell don't want you here.Copy !req
283. Now, we got another two hours
and 10 minutes to Pasco,Copy !req
284. and then we never have
to see each other again, okay?Copy !req
285. Fine with me.Copy !req
286. Fine.Copy !req
287. Yes, sir. I just changed 'em.Copy !req
288. Okay. I'll pick up a couple of sets.
See you in Elko.Copy !req
289. - What's happening?
- I've got to set it down!Copy !req
290. Get down! Brace yourself!
Damn, goddamn it!Copy !req
291. Come on, baby. Climb for me!Copy !req
292. You all right?Copy !req
293. Hey, kid.Copy !req
294. Come on.Copy !req
295. Easy.Copy !req
296. You all right?Copy !req
297. - I'm all right! Leave me alone.
- Come on. Kid, sit down.Copy !req
298. - I don't wanna sit down.
- Where you going?Copy !req
299. Come back here.
You just crashed in an airplane.Copy !req
300. I know what I just did!Copy !req
301. Suit yourself.Copy !req
302. Don't do that!Copy !req
303. I'll do it if I want to!Copy !req
304. - What are you lookin' at?
- That river.Copy !req
305. - What about it?
- Do you know which one it is?Copy !req
306. I don't know.Copy !req
307. Maybe it's a fork of the Snake.Copy !req
308. People live along rivers.Copy !req
309. - So?
- So, we ought to climb down there.Copy !req
310. How do you get down there
in one piece, anyway?Copy !req
311. We'll stay up by the wreck.
That's the rule.Copy !req
312. They can see a wreck from the air.
They can't see people.Copy !req
313. - Go on up there and sit down.
- I could make it if I had to.Copy !req
314. Say you did.Copy !req
315. Then you gotta walk maybe 15, 20 miles
to the nearest anyplace.Copy !req
316. You got no food, no equipment.
Go sit down.Copy !req
317. What are you gonna do,
argue with everything I say?Copy !req
318. I may.Copy !req
319. Hey, kid.Copy !req
320. - Did you ever crash in an airplane before?
- No.Copy !req
321. - I have.
- So?Copy !req
322. That means I got
experience and you don't.Copy !req
323. It means you're a two-time loser!Copy !req
324. Wait a minute. You blaming this on me?Copy !req
325. You're the pilot.Copy !req
326. Do you know what I had to do
to go through the treesCopy !req
327. to just snap the wings off,
and not wrap up in a ball?Copy !req
328. - I know it wasn't my fault.
- Yeah?Copy !req
329. Let's consider that for a minute.Copy !req
330. That heap up there that used to be an
airplane had a Wright J-5 engine in it.Copy !req
331. The most dependable engine in the world.Copy !req
332. Lindbergh crossed the ocean behind one.Copy !req
333. We've never had one of those
go wrong on this line until today.Copy !req
334. So who's the jinx?Copy !req
335. What's different about this trip,
on this day, but you?Copy !req
336. Stop yelling at me!Copy !req
337. You're a prize.Copy !req
338. You're a real goddamn prize.Copy !req
339. How do you like it?Copy !req
340. Separate quarters.
Ladies in there and gents out here.Copy !req
341. - This way we don't have to see each other.
- Fine with me.Copy !req
342. Hey. Hey!Copy !req
343. What do you smell? Gasoline!Copy !req
344. Go ahead, light it.
See how far you fly without an airplane.Copy !req
345. Stupid little brat!Copy !req
346. I shouldn't have taken you.
I don't fly passengers.Copy !req
347. If you hear anything, call me.Copy !req
348. Good. All right.Copy !req
349. Hello. It's Moravia at Elko.Copy !req
350. Give me station 36, will you, please?Copy !req
351. This should be a lot of fun.
The guy's a lush.Copy !req
352. I don't know if it's an emergency.
I don't know, operator.Copy !req
353. It may be an emergency and it may not.
I don't know yet.Copy !req
354. Why don't you just do your job
and let me get on with mine?Copy !req
355. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
356. Number 36. What do you want?Copy !req
357. Airplane?Copy !req
358. I can't even see the track.Copy !req
359. How do you expect me
to see a goddamn airplane?Copy !req
360. All right.Copy !req
361. The answer to your question is no!Copy !req
362. I don't see nobody!Copy !req
363. On the other hand,
number 12 came throughCopy !req
364. half an hour ago.Copy !req
365. Triple-headed with 57 cars.Copy !req
366. That's a good haul for this time of yearCopy !req
367. if you know anything about railroading.Copy !req
368. State troopers got nothing.
They're putting out the word.Copy !req
369. What about aircraft? What's available?Copy !req
370. I called the National Guard at Spokane.Copy !req
371. They got three DH-4s they'll lend us,Copy !req
372. but they don't know when they can
get out 'cause they're socked inCopy !req
373. and they're calling overcast
and snow flurries in the morning.Copy !req
374. I got a private Waco Taperwing at Boise
and maybe a guy with a fleet,Copy !req
375. only his phone's down.Copy !req
376. If the Guards get out,
we'll have 'em work south.Copy !req
377. Our planes will stay us through Boise.Copy !req
378. If the weather holds.Copy !req
379. This is one call I don't wanna make.Copy !req
380. Have the operator get me Bruno Hansen.Copy !req
381. I saw your fire. I'm cold.Copy !req
382. - What's that?
- Oil.Copy !req
383. What for?Copy !req
384. To make smoke in case
a plane comes over tomorrow.Copy !req
385. We have a fire.Copy !req
386. If we had some food,
we could almost live up here.Copy !req
387. You got a gun.Copy !req
388. This is accurate to about 50 feet.Copy !req
389. Might hit something if it
stood there waiting for you.Copy !req
390. You could try. I'm hungry.Copy !req
391. Then they'll find us, that's all.Copy !req
392. You don't know my father.Copy !req
393. He has friends in the State House.Copy !req
394. He'll move heaven and earth,
to say nothing of the HowardsCopy !req
395. who have entertained
the governor of Washington.Copy !req
396. Then maybe all those nice folks
will come out and look for us.Copy !req
397. Except they'll be looking aboutCopy !req
398. 60 miles south of
where I should've been.Copy !req
399. The reason for that is I took a shortcut
over the mountains to get rid of you,Copy !req
400. instead of turning back to Boise
like I should've. They'll find us.Copy !req
401. Next spring! We'll be two blocks of ice.Copy !req
402. - I can't listen to you anymore.
- That's the truth.Copy !req
403. Want me to lie to you like you're a kid?Copy !req
404. You wanted a way to talk to the pilot
so you know where you are?Copy !req
405. I'll tell you.Copy !req
406. You called me a two-time loser.Copy !req
407. - It was just an expression!
- You're right.Copy !req
408. You're absolutely right.Copy !req
409. Last time I crashed like this,
I killed a man.Copy !req
410. George Toomey. 18 years old.Copy !req
411. Perfectly good human being,
till I killed him.Copy !req
412. Maybe you didn't want to know that.Copy !req
413. You're not the jinx.Copy !req
414. It's me.Copy !req
415. The big thing you did wrong today
was to go flying with me.Copy !req
416. Now you know where you are.Copy !req
417. You better not hit me.Copy !req
418. Why would I do that?
What good would that do?Copy !req
419. Jimmy!Copy !req
420. You heard.Copy !req
421. What happened?Copy !req
422. It's hard to say.Copy !req
423. He may have picked up some ice.Copy !req
424. Could've got stuck over the clouds
with no way down.Copy !req
425. - Who's in there with Moravia?
- Mr. Hansen.Copy !req
426. The banker.Copy !req
427. His daughter was with Edgar.Copy !req
428. We might as well get in.Copy !req
429. I was thinking I ought to stick around.Copy !req
430. I've got your dinner in the oven.Copy !req
431. I don't know.Copy !req
432. Everybody else is staying.Copy !req
433. Maybe I should, too.Copy !req
434. They don't pay you
to sit around here and worry.Copy !req
435. If they need you, they'll call.
That's what we put the telephone in for.Copy !req
436. Think of that poor girl
up there on a night like this.Copy !req
437. I'm thinking about Edgar.Copy !req
438. - Morning, kid.
- Morning.Copy !req
439. The management regrets
they're out of corn flakesCopy !req
440. and French toast, butCopy !req
441. here.Copy !req
442. What is it?Copy !req
443. Pine needle tea.Copy !req
444. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
445. Nice and clear today.Copy !req
446. Wind shifted to the west.Copy !req
447. - What are you making?
- A snare.Copy !req
448. - Can I help?
- No, thanks.Copy !req
449. I grew up around boys. I ought to know
something about hand tools.Copy !req
450. I even know how to shoot a gun.Copy !req
451. Are you still mad about last night?Copy !req
452. I'm not mad about anything.Copy !req
453. I sure didn't do it on purpose.Copy !req
454. Didn't say you did, did I?Copy !req
455. Anyway, I'm sorry.Copy !req
456. - Change your mind about leaving?
- Nope.Copy !req
457. What are you going to
do with that thing?Copy !req
458. I'm going to try some hunting.Copy !req
459. That's what I said last night.Copy !req
460. I just think it's better to do
something than sit around.Copy !req
461. On the basis of your vast experience.Copy !req
462. That's right.Copy !req
463. What should I do?Copy !req
464. If a plane comes over,
put the oil on the fireCopy !req
465. and don't let it go out.Copy !req
466. Can you handle that?Copy !req
467. Kid! Guess what! I nailed one!Copy !req
468. What?Copy !req
469. I shot a rabbit!Copy !req
470. Hope you can cook!Copy !req
471. Easy, fella.Copy !req
472. Here you go.Copy !req
473. Mr. Anscombe!Copy !req
474. Mr. Anscombe.Copy !req
475. - What happened?
- Goddamn wolves!Copy !req
476. I had a rabbit, too.Copy !req
477. You better close that off.Copy !req
478. I know what I have to do.Copy !req
479. Get me your bag.Copy !req
480. Take it off.Copy !req
481. - What are you looking for?
- A needle and thread.Copy !req
482. Here.Copy !req
483. I'll do it.Copy !req
484. You can't reach.Copy !req
485. I'll do it! You'll bleed to death
and tell me you can?Copy !req
486. All right. Do it.Copy !req
487. Well?Copy !req
488. You're one of a kind, Tillie. You
can do anything you put your mind to.Copy !req
489. What would you have
done if I wasn't here?Copy !req
490. You don't like to talk much, do you?Copy !req
491. You don't have that problem, do you?Copy !req
492. No.Copy !req
493. No, I talk all the time.Copy !req
494. I'm a flibbertigibbet.Copy !req
495. That's what my English teacher,
Mrs. Wilson, calls me.Copy !req
496. "Tillie Hansen,
you are a flibbertigibbet."Copy !req
497. Sounds like a noise
a chicken would make.Copy !req
498. Mrs. Wilson kind of
looks like a chicken.Copy !req
499. - How come you ain't screaming?
- I am screaming.Copy !req
500. You just can't hear me.Copy !req
501. - All right. That's enough.
- One more stitch.Copy !req
502. - Don't argue with me!
- One more stitch!Copy !req
503. Tie that off.Copy !req
504. Pull it through. Tie it right there.Copy !req
505. All right. Here, get...Copy !req
506. Just put that on.Copy !req
507. All right.Copy !req
508. That's it.Copy !req
509. Come on, easy!Copy !req
510. I have to do it tight.Copy !req
511. What was that you were
saying before, to yourself?Copy !req
512. You're one of a kind?Copy !req
513. Sometimes I hear my
mother talking to me.Copy !req
514. Talking to you? Is she dead?Copy !req
515. She used to say things like that
when I was down about something.Copy !req
516. - Here.
- Okay.Copy !req
517. Sorry.Copy !req
518. There you go.Copy !req
519. If I start foaming at the mouth,
just shoot me, okay?Copy !req
520. Found something.Copy !req
521. Here.Copy !req
522. I lost my appetite.Copy !req
523. Have it later.Copy !req
524. You hear those wolves?Copy !req
525. They're all around here now.Copy !req
526. They're not going anywhere.Copy !req
527. They don't have anything better to do.Copy !req
528. - Will they come over here?
- No.Copy !req
529. You did okay.Copy !req
530. It's good.Copy !req
531. I can understand your point of view.
Now listen to mine!Copy !req
532. Someday the world will be entirely
populated with bureaucrats like youCopy !req
533. because the real people
will kill themselves out of frustration!Copy !req
534. I, myself,
do not want anything out of you!Copy !req
535. They do! They want to be rescued!Copy !req
536. I'm relaying to you what they'd say
if they could speak to you themselves!Copy !req
537. Have you heard about the weather?Copy !req
538. - How's it look?
- There's a hole over the Tuscarora mine.Copy !req
539. - The whole front's breaking up.
- Everybody goes!Copy !req
540. Come on, let's go! On the double!Copy !req
541. At least the search is on.Copy !req
542. - Is that everyone?
- One more. Stiller.Copy !req
543. He's bringing the afternoon mail
from Pasco.Copy !req
544. He knows to keep his eyes open.Copy !req
545. Got about two hours of light left.Copy !req
546. What a mess.Copy !req
547. Then let's go down the cliff.Copy !req
548. Why do you do that?Copy !req
549. Because we can't make it, that's why.Copy !req
550. Those wolves are going to hang around.
Anyway...Copy !req
551. We were dead the minute the engine quit.Copy !req
552. - I didn't want to say it.
- What's the use in talking that way?Copy !req
553. - 'Cause it's the truth.
- It ain't the truth.Copy !req
554. It's just what you think
is going to happen.Copy !req
555. - You made a snare and you shot a rabbit.
- So what?Copy !req
556. So I'd rather be trying things
than just sitting on my butt.Copy !req
557. All right.Copy !req
558. All right.Copy !req
559. Let's go. We're going.
Take what you need.Copy !req
560. I was thinking more like
a couple of sweaters.Copy !req
561. See, I told you I grew up with boys.Copy !req
562. Jesus.Copy !req
563. You live by yourself?Copy !req
564. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
565. Don't you have any friends?Copy !req
566. Not in particular.Copy !req
567. Who's that guy that drove you to work?Copy !req
568. Where'd you see him?Copy !req
569. Out the window of Mr. Moravia's office.Copy !req
570. I don't miss much.Copy !req
571. Stiller. He's the guy I work with.Copy !req
572. - How about that woman?
- What woman?Copy !req
573. The one that gave you the lunch.Copy !req
574. That's Rose, Stiller's sister.Copy !req
575. - Is she your pash?
- My what?Copy !req
576. Your passion?Copy !req
577. I don't know. When you...Copy !req
578. When you're flying all the time,
you don't...Copy !req
579. You don't really have much
of a chance with women.Copy !req
580. I think you hide behind
that scar too much.Copy !req
581. You ever do anything with her?Copy !req
582. What do you mean, "do anything?"Copy !req
583. You know what "do anything" means!Copy !req
584. You're blushing.Copy !req
585. You probably have veins
close to the skin.Copy !req
586. I've known people like that.Copy !req
587. I'm hungry.Copy !req
588. Wait a minute.Copy !req
589. It's Stiller!Copy !req
590. Jimmy!Copy !req
591. Jimmy, over here!Copy !req
592. Damn it!Copy !req
593. Did he see us? Is he coming back?Copy !req
594. Forget it.Copy !req
595. - What's the matter?
- I'm all right!Copy !req
596. Don't touch me!Copy !req
597. - I didn't expect this to happen.
- Yeah, sure.Copy !req
598. We've only got 50 yards
to go to the bottom.Copy !req
599. Now, come on, let's make a move.Copy !req
600. - Come on.
- I can't move.Copy !req
601. - What?
- I can't move!Copy !req
602. All right, let me look.Copy !req
603. It's probably broken.Copy !req
604. Great.Copy !req
605. Here.Copy !req
606. - Take one of these.
- What is it?Copy !req
607. - A pain pill.
- I don't want it.Copy !req
608. - Shut up and take it.
- I don't want it!Copy !req
609. Don't argue with me. Just take it.Copy !req
610. Now I'll have to think
of something else.Copy !req
611. I think I'll lower you down.Copy !req
612. How?Copy !req
613. Go back up to the wreck
and get some cable.Copy !req
614. - You can't go back up there.
- I'll just have to.Copy !req
615. You just have to sit here and shut up.Copy !req
616. You can do that much, can't you?Copy !req
617. It'll be dark soon.Copy !req
618. You afraid of the dark?Copy !req
619. I was thinking of you coming back down!Copy !req
620. Hey, kid.Copy !req
621. I'm sorry.Copy !req
622. I'll get you down in the morning.Copy !req
623. Did it look like an airplane?Copy !req
624. I can't say for sure.Copy !req
625. What can you say for sure?Copy !req
626. It was just a flash
out of the corner of my eye.Copy !req
627. It might have been wings.Copy !req
628. It might have been a couple of trees.Copy !req
629. Couldn't you have gone
back to make sure?Copy !req
630. It's pretty hard to tell
one ridge from the other.Copy !req
631. Besides, I was running low on gasCopy !req
632. and worried about getting back myself.Copy !req
633. Show me on the map.Copy !req
634. That was the other problem.Copy !req
635. My compass was messing up on me.Copy !req
636. I didn't know where I was.Copy !req
637. Not until I saw the rail line
running into Baker.Copy !req
638. It's somewhere around here.Copy !req
639. You mean you let your pilots fly
without knowing where they are?Copy !req
640. The wind blew me down there.Copy !req
641. You can't always tell
what the wind's going to do.Copy !req
642. You're talking about
hundreds of square miles.Copy !req
643. Suppose you were wrong.Copy !req
644. You'd be responsible for sending
everybody in the wrong direction.Copy !req
645. You were right to report the sighting.Copy !req
646. But you can see the problems it caused.Copy !req
647. What do you think I should do?Copy !req
648. My wife.Copy !req
649. All right, stick by the phone.
I'll call you if I need you.Copy !req
650. Now that I've seen
your company in operation,Copy !req
651. I do not think much of the men you hire.Copy !req
652. I can see why you might think that.Copy !req
653. Stiller thinks mainly of his own ass.Copy !req
654. Anscombe has half a face.Copy !req
655. I myself have aCopy !req
656. leg made out of Philippine mahogany.Copy !req
657. Stick around this place a little more,
you'll find Probosky,Copy !req
658. my chief mechanic.Copy !req
659. He's missing three fingers, the result of
a propeller and an over-anxious student.Copy !req
660. Carson, that pilot you met this morning,Copy !req
661. was shot down during the war
and spent the night in a foxhole,Copy !req
662. during which he breathed some mustard
gas which left him with one lung.Copy !req
663. All of us should've gotten out
of this business a long time ago.Copy !req
664. The only problem is...Copy !req
665. In addition to being crippled,
we're all addicts.Copy !req
666. Flying is all we care to do.Copy !req
667. Stiller...Copy !req
668. If I fire him,
and no one else gives him a job,Copy !req
669. as no one would
who has a choice in the matter,Copy !req
670. Stiller would wither and die.Copy !req
671. As they all would.Copy !req
672. As I would.Copy !req
673. Therefore, considering
we are all cripples and addicts,Copy !req
674. I'm of the opinion we're doing
as good a job as could be expected.Copy !req
675. If you have any complaints,
take them to your congressman.Copy !req
676. While you're doing that,
ask him for some more money,Copy !req
677. some more rotating beacons,Copy !req
678. some twin engine planes that go over
the mountains instead of going through.Copy !req
679. Maybe a radio so they don't
have to spit into the wind,Copy !req
680. to find out which way they're going.Copy !req
681. Aside from that,
don't tell me how to do my job.Copy !req
682. I don't tell you how to do yours.Copy !req
683. It hurts.Copy !req
684. I know.Copy !req
685. Take your mind off it. Think about
something else, something nice.Copy !req
686. Like what?Copy !req
687. I don't know.Copy !req
688. Anything nice.Copy !req
689. What about that boy up in Seattle?Copy !req
690. There ain't no boy in Seattle.Copy !req
691. There isn't?Copy !req
692. I made that up.Copy !req
693. Why'd you do that?Copy !req
694. How should I know?Copy !req
695. I don't know half the
reasons I do things.Copy !req
696. The only boyfriend I ever hadCopy !req
697. banged me on the floor of a caboose
in a Western Pacific rail yard.Copy !req
698. Watch your language.Copy !req
699. That is the right language.Copy !req
700. It sure wasn't love.Copy !req
701. He promised he would take me to Reno.Copy !req
702. But he lied.Copy !req
703. Then my father found out about it,Copy !req
704. and there was this big scandal.Copy !req
705. He decided to get me out of town
as fast as he could.Copy !req
706. That's why I was in a mail plane
in the middle of winter.Copy !req
707. That was okay, because if they didn't
want to see me again, I didn't, either.Copy !req
708. Don't cry. You're not the type.Copy !req
709. Yes, I am.Copy !req
710. Underneath.Copy !req
711. You're the one that called me a jinx.Copy !req
712. Yeah, but I took that back, didn't I?Copy !req
713. My father...Copy !req
714. My father told me
I was spoiled merchandise,Copy !req
715. ruined for life.Copy !req
716. You're all right.Copy !req
717. Somebody's going to snap you up.
You wait and see.Copy !req
718. I mean, you saw what happened in Boise.Copy !req
719. What happened?Copy !req
720. Didn't you see all those guys
in the diner wereCopy !req
721. breaking their necks
trying to look you over?Copy !req
722. - I didn't see that.
- Sure.Copy !req
723. How often does a girl like you
come into a place like that?Copy !req
724. You see, in the morning we'llCopy !req
725. take the old elevator down andCopy !req
726. be on our way.Copy !req
727. I wish it could've been you.Copy !req
728. It would've been better.Copy !req
729. Go to sleep.Copy !req
730. I think he should go back.Copy !req
731. Back where?Copy !req
732. Wasn't even sure where he was.Copy !req
733. What if it was them?Copy !req
734. He wasn't sure.Copy !req
735. He did the right thing.Copy !req
736. Let the National Guard go look.Copy !req
737. That's what they're there for.Copy !req
738. Ladies,Copy !req
739. would you mind holding it down?Copy !req
740. I'm trying to think.Copy !req
741. What if it was my brother that was down?Copy !req
742. Quit!Copy !req
743. I don't even want to think about that.Copy !req
744. Edgar would go after him.Copy !req
745. You don't know that for sure.Copy !req
746. I think he would.Copy !req
747. You marry a mail plane pilot and see
how anxious you are to send him off.Copy !req
748. I just think that when the time comes,
we all have to take care of each other.Copy !req
749. Nobody else will.Copy !req
750. You'd hold your breath
every time he leftCopy !req
751. and you wouldn't let it out
again until he'd come home.Copy !req
752. I hate airplanes.Copy !req
753. I don't even know what keeps them up.Copy !req
754. They're made out of
sticks and bed sheets.Copy !req
755. I don't know why they just don't open upCopy !req
756. and drop Jimmy out like
a stone into water.Copy !req
757. That's right, Evelyn.Copy !req
758. You don't understand anything about it.Copy !req
759. You've never done it.Copy !req
760. You don't know why I do it.Copy !req
761. So would you please just hold it downCopy !req
762. and let me think,Copy !req
763. okay?Copy !req
764. That's Capital Peak.Copy !req
765. What's Edgar doing there?Copy !req
766. Okay, let's stop here.Copy !req
767. Easy! Easy!Copy !req
768. I'll give you another pill.Copy !req
769. Can't carry me all day.Copy !req
770. Don't talk with your mouth full.Copy !req
771. You can't. We both know that.Copy !req
772. I'm not going to carry you.Copy !req
773. You should just leave me here.Copy !req
774. You can go on ahead,
and if you find somebody,Copy !req
775. then you can send them back for me.Copy !req
776. Just when I'm getting used to you?Copy !req
777. You mean that?Copy !req
778. Yeah, I mean that.Copy !req
779. What are you doing?Copy !req
780. I'm going to make a travois,Copy !req
781. a thing the Indians used to use to
carry stuff around in the winter time.Copy !req
782. Pretty smart.Copy !req
783. A pilot's gotta be.Copy !req
784. You put yourself down
in a field someplace,Copy !req
785. it's pretty much up to you
to get yourself out.Copy !req
786. The National Guard de Havillands got outCopy !req
787. after numerous problems
with their plumbing.Copy !req
788. What are you doing here?
I didn't call for you.Copy !req
789. Been thinking it over, Mr. Moravia.Copy !req
790. That's always a good sign.Copy !req
791. It had to be them.
I know where they are.Copy !req
792. I'll get back to you, Frank.Copy !req
793. Here, come on. Show me on the map.Copy !req
794. I figured outCopy !req
795. I must've been somewhere around here.Copy !req
796. But I couldn't understand
what Edgar was doing there.Copy !req
797. Then I realized,
if he was fighting the weatherCopy !req
798. and wound up somewhere
east of the mountain about here,Copy !req
799. he would've had a straight
shot over the mountains into Pasco,Copy !req
800. so instead of turning back,Copy !req
801. he must've took the chance
that he had enough gas to make it.Copy !req
802. You always take chances like that?Copy !req
803. If he didn't,
the mail would never get through.Copy !req
804. This is Capital Peak.Copy !req
805. They must be on this ridge,
about halfway down the big saddle.Copy !req
806. There's a clearing in the timber.
What I saw must've been wings.Copy !req
807. Get the mail out by train.Copy !req
808. He's going to take out number eight.Copy !req
809. Come on, get up there
as quickly as you can.Copy !req
810. You'll have company by this afternoon.Copy !req
811. I'm sending everyone up
as soon as they land to refuel.Copy !req
812. He comes through, after all.Copy !req
813. Yeah.Copy !req
814. Yeah. Maybe our luck is changing.Copy !req
815. We could get married.Copy !req
816. What makes you say that?Copy !req
817. I just cancelled all
the letters out on our names.Copy !req
818. Did you ever do that?Copy !req
819. You write some boy's last name,
and then you write yours underneath.Copy !req
820. You cross out all
