Speaker 1: Come in welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall. I've never shared
a rather common phobia, the fear of planes. It comes
in all forms. Some worry about take off, others sweat
out the landing. And of course, in the last few years,
the rash of one of the world's most heinous crimes
has been the skyjack. I shut my eyes to them all.
I prefer to react to that unbelievable moment when tons
of steel are magically airborne, when the peace of in
flight transports you to another world, and the wonder of
landing three thousand miles away, if you fly against the clock,
brings you to your destination almost before you took off.
Still there are times this is your Captain, Deacon Burnett.
We will be traveling for the next few hours till
we reach New York over water. We soon will be
flying at thirty five thousand feet Weather's Claire. You should
expect a smooth fling. Our eta estimated time.
Speaker 2: To johny green.
Speaker 3: Manjie, get that glorious rear into yours up front on
the double with the manifest Only do it as gracefully
as you know how, and don't upset anyone.
Speaker 4: What's wrong Scottie, what do you mean, Granto, baby?
Speaker 3: Don't ask questions, Just make like this is the Army.
Don't ask questions. We are in mutual trouble, and don't
forget that manifest.
Speaker 1: Our mystery drama Deadly Dilemma was written especially for the
Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars William Prince and
Patricia Elliott. Mystery Theater on w ABC. Mucho trouble. Flight
eight oh one out of a small South American republic
whose struggle to be born has kept it much in
the news. Flight eight oh one headed for New York,
a long, long flight already two hours underway. What kind
of trouble mechanical or man made? Certainly there are no
signs of it as Angie Parsons, head stewardess threads her
way down the corridor of the half filled plane. Oh
your name, but you speak English to me?
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get past you, Senor is there
something you wanted age?
Speaker 1: I'm spelling the lounge boar loud. You are here? Would
you join me?
Speaker 4: We can't drink on duty. Oh do you want me
to stow your briefcase for you?
Speaker 1: Well, it stays with me.
Speaker 4: And then excuse me, I have to get up fronts
the levis signor oh, excuse me, sir, but if you
want to light a cigarette? Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Did I burn you?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: Yes, no, no, no, it's all right. But you can't
light up here, sir. You're not in the smoking section.
There's the lounge, or we could move you back.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it doesn't matter a little bitout thinking.
Speaker 4: I'll put it out. I'm sorry I burned you. Yes, sir, really, this.
Speaker 1: Is in most your king section. Someone will get the
It's all.
Speaker 4: Right, sir, he's put it out.
Speaker 1: I hate to.
Speaker 5: Complain, but I haven't made doctor and obstitution and my
patients don't like it easier.
Speaker 1: Besides, I have a smile.
Speaker 6: Excuse me, hostess, but do you think I could get
a glass of juice or water?
Speaker 2: Would be all right?
Speaker 4: Do you travel first classes? To the least you can
do is have juice. I'll send one of the other
girls with it now, if you'll excuse me. The captain
just called me.
Speaker 2: To the cockpit or I wouldn't want to be any trouble.
Speaker 4: No trouble. I'll take care of it right away.
Speaker 1: Miss Preston has just brought in the manifest. Now that's right.
I'll run a check on it with you right away.
I'll get back eight zero one out And what took
you so long?
Speaker 4: She sat to make it casual and not to alarm anyone.
What gifts anyway?
Speaker 1: Take the ships goutty, I'll brief Angie. Let me have
the manifest.
Speaker 4: Here you are.
Speaker 1: We have we got a problem, Angie, nice king size headache.
I don't want to hand any part of it to you,
but I've got to do. You know any of the
passengers aboard this ship, well.
Speaker 4: A couple of people I recognize, regulars, Guys I've met
on other flights. Salesman, you know good.
Speaker 1: We'll check them off in a minute. First, let's concentrate
on our senior Rammirez end group, first class last minute borders.
Speaker 4: We got them, yes, sir, like four I guess all
seem to know each other. Seated A one, two, three,
and four Ramirez, Perez, Ramos and macOS.
Speaker 1: Zeck's like Smith, Brown, Jones and Martin Ramirez is Signor
Simeon Aguilar, the new presidente of the Troubled Republic. We
took off from two hours ago. The rest of the
guys are his security guides.
Speaker 4: But why would the president of a country travel on a.
Speaker 1: Commercial Honey, they've got internal problems in that little country.
Even the leading Seltzer couldn't settle down. He's not our
main problem. Yes, I just got a security flash and
control that we may be carrying some political nut, a
mad bomber, an assassin, a guy who could be ready
not only to blow himself and el presidente Aguilar the
kingdom come, but the rest of us with him. I'm
not quite ready for that, me neither, and you and
I are just about ready to an answer. Well, hell,
who has engagements anymore? We've got all my sympathy. Just
fly the crate and let me concentrate it. We've got
to check through that manifest and narrow this down. Why
don't we just kick out a couple of engines and
pretend we have to make an emergency land got he
We're dealing with a nut. Anything out of line could
figgure in, and we don't know if there's anyone like
this aboard it. It's only a.
Speaker 4: Tip about having one of our president's gods make a
tour of the plane and see if you recognize anywhere.
Speaker 1: If he did know the guy the guy would know him,
and that would set the fireworks. Besides, if the other
side really sent out a martyr like this, he's either
someone they wouldn't know or in disguise. Look, let's take
this step by step. Sure, dic I start with a
manifest list.
Speaker 4: You have it right here.
Speaker 1: This never came up for me before. But can you
tell from it when each passenger book passage.
Speaker 4: No, you'd have to get that from the ground they'd know. Sure,
it's all computerized.
Speaker 1: Hold of the Minute Control. This is Captain Deacon Barnett
Flight eight zero one request Urgent Info Priority one. That's right,
Urgent I received first channel all bookings made on our
manifest list prior to hold it. And what's Ramiro's first name?
Speaker 4: And his crew himI Ramirezmi Ramirez, Hernando Perez, Hernando Perez,
Arturo Martinez and Irving Marcos.
Speaker 1: Arturo Martinez and Irving Marcos. Check me back. Soonest. Now,
while we're waiting, let's check off your regulars or anyone
else you think you can clear. This may be all
a big nothing. But if it isn't, if we'd better
pinpoint this guy or that's what we're all gonna end up. Thanks,
ob I'll be in touch, and for Heaven's sake, you
keep in touch with me. Eight zero one out? Well
what's the story? Well, between booking dates, Angie's eliminations, and
a couple of million mile old is it pretty well
narrows itself down?
Speaker 4: How many seven plus three?
Speaker 1: Well, what's that mean?
Speaker 4: Well, first off, the president and his three bodyguards, we
know they're on.
Speaker 1: Wish I'd insisted they check them with me. Well, can
we count them out it? I mean, aren't they his beliefs?
I'll take the chance we can.
Speaker 4: So that leaves Sister Teresa of the San Andreas Mission,
returning after three years in the field, her sponsor, Monsignor
Carrey of the Ohio Diocese.
Speaker 1: She seems clean enough, if she is the sister herself.
Speaker 4: She has a big carpetbag of old fashioned with her.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a bit suspicious.
Speaker 4: So not if you saw the sister they go together.
She must be seventy if she's a day. What about
this doctor, doctor Alkenies. I don't know anything about him
except that he doesn't like smokers, either because he's an
obstetrician or because he has asthma.
Speaker 1: Come on, and there must be some leave I don't know.
Speaker 4: Mister and missus Jacobowitz. They went to visit their son
who's with the Peace Corps, Jim Hart. He's a mousy
little Schmoe's the son of the hard Banking family, some
kind of archaeologists or palaeontologist or something.
Speaker 1: So what about this Senor Ramo?
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about him except he is like
the doctor and the nun. How's that w Wherever they
go they hang on to the bags they have with
the doctor's bag, briefcase, coffee bag, which doesn't necessarily signify anything.
Speaker 1: Oh, not under normal condition, except if you had a bomb.
You wouldn't move anywhere, would you without having it exactly
the hand?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I never had a bomb.
Speaker 1: But where do we go from here? I?
Speaker 4: Uh i uh, I guess that's my little red wagon,
as my father used to say. I'll check him out. Oh,
I don't know, very carefully. How long would I have
do you think if this scary is for real?
Speaker 1: Not over half an hour? I mean if I wanted
the total is playing, I'd do it over open deep water,
like about half an hour from now? None leveling, Angie,
because what else can I do?
Speaker 4: You couldn't just deck us or make some sort of deal.
Speaker 1: Oh, this this isn't the Skyjack. This is as my
Nebraskan father used to go from the Good Book. I'm
againin This man means to kill and he expects to
die in the Gota Dammarom like Hitler if he exists.
Let me remind you again, this is only a tip.
But we we don't know.
Speaker 4: And what should I do?
Speaker 1: DC A level all the way. I'm sorry to dump this, Betther,
but I you Angie, but I can't do it. I'm
too obvious. Same goes through Scottie or any officer. You're
just going to have to hunt them down one by one.
Speaker 4: Well, I I think we could narrow out down a
little further. With the two guys in the Million Mile Club.
I've seen them on almost every tour I've flown. The
Jacobo witz Is they sound asleep under the same blanket
and holding hands. She doesn't even have a handbag. I
put it up in the locker.
Speaker 1: Okay, they're off the list as of now.
Speaker 4: The hard kid, and he's an air to millions in
a mouse. He's so nervous flying over water he can't
even light a match. Properly down. Little fool burned my hand.
Let's see, that's nothing, Scottie, No Deacon. Unless one of
the presidents personal guard is a fifth columnist, it has
to be one of three, the doctor, Senior Ramos or
Sister Teresa.
Speaker 1: If it's anyone, that's the damn part of the whole thing.
If I was sure this was more than a tip,
if it was a fact, I could ditch this plane
so fast nobody outside of this control room could handle
a shock. Then when I pulled out, we could be
ready to grab the guy while his brains are still scrambled.
But that's almost as dangerous a bomb itself. Buddtear drums,
heart conditions. Now you know that isn't the answer, an Gie, Honey, Yes, Scotty,
you can handle it. Check out those three and if
they're clean and nothing more comes up from ground control,
we can all treat it as a false alarm, right,
chief way, I figure. But don't take too much time, Angie.
As soon as we're over deep water would be the
time for anyone who wanted to to do away with
the President for sure. Like I said, you got about
thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: I think I'll start with the doctor. This burn gives
me an excuse to get him to open his bag.
Speaker 1: Happy hunting. Just take care, babe, be kind of important
to me.
Speaker 4: It works both ways, Scotty, but everyone on this plane
is important to someone. We don't want to let anyone down.
Played it cool, now, you know how it is. It's
always dinner time when you visit a doctor. I just
wish I had a better reason to see this particular obstetrician.
Speaker 1: Now I join the rest of you as terror begins,
and even if ground control is only passing on an unfounded,
as yet threat of disaster, I would be as conscious
as Dick that there is on board the president of
a country racked by revolution, for feelings of repression run
so high that even ordinary people are no longer rational.
I'll be back shortly with that too, he returns on WABC.
The human being is a remarkably adaptable animal. But you
can only adapt to what you know. How do you
adapt to a situation which may not even exist? Which
is steward as Angie Parsons problem as she begins with
doctor Salvador Algni, obstetrician and possibly the opposite of his
chosen profession, possibly a man with some kind of bomb
destined to have nothing to do with birth, but the
sudden and a terrible death of nearly one hundred human beings.
Speaker 4: Everything all right, senor America, A.
Speaker 1: Senorita, you are very kind to single me after.
Speaker 4: It's my job. Can I get you anything?
Speaker 5: No? No, I must find my own way from now.
Speaker 4: I beg your pardon.
Speaker 5: Of course, that is a strange sounding statement. I must explain,
so I don't want to. I have I have just
lost my wife off many years.
Speaker 4: Oh, I am sorry.
Speaker 1: You are mooly sympatical. I know that at the moment
I came on the plane.
Speaker 4: Why why don't you take that heavy bag off your
lap put it beside you on the seat. We have
plenty of space.
Speaker 1: I suppose it is.
Speaker 5: Very foolish hang on to it as some kind of symbol,
A discredited one.
Speaker 1: This symbol and remaining function of all my life.
Speaker 5: Why, oh, this secrets one divulges in the clouds of
the night. My wife died of cancer. All our skill.
Speaker 4: Could not say, I am sorry, and so am I.
Speaker 1: But that will not bring her back.
Speaker 5: So I aim to work at destroying that and the
other leaders of society. That brings me to your country
for my own personal reasons.
Speaker 1: What reasons does I keep to myself?
Speaker 4: Why don't you let me take your bag and make
you a bed Across these three seats you could sleep?
Speaker 5: No, No, I cannot sleep for rest and the bag
I hold on't or much of what you mustn't waste
any more time with me has a persona and nothing.
As a doctor, I see only a magnievis and specive
and the most beautiful woman in the full thrust of health.
Speaker 4: As the young should be here the young and get
in trouble. A year before last, I was skiing. I
hit some power snow on a downhill, run dug in
and broke the ulnar bone in my leg.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's here, just as good as.
Speaker 4: New, better than this burn on my hand, which the
passengers gave me accidentally.
Speaker 5: Okay, hey, but oh let me see. Ah see, that
is a nasty little bone.
Speaker 1: Let me see. If I come tack, I'll.
Speaker 5: Find you something here you will and now Jasu a
heating bomb. So maybe nobody's at least nothing to her.
Speaker 4: No, it's very kind of you, doctor, but I'm not
worth the trouble.
Speaker 1: The v Judy is a let me see so say
where I am.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Strange thing, this warrior is not the only thing that is.
Speaker 5: Really important to see individual for the rest it could
disappear in a cloud of smoke for me at the
soonest moment.
Speaker 4: Ah senor reimas, did you have your drink?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 7: In fact I was how you're saying. I had two
those doubles.
Speaker 4: Doubles in some short time.
Speaker 1: Well I am one big bad boy.
Speaker 4: No, that's up to your conscience.
Speaker 1: See, but better a short life than a many one?
Speaker 4: No, why not a long life? And the same.
Speaker 1: Bade? And there is no one sitting here? Why don't
you join me?
Speaker 4: Don't you want to get some sleep?
Speaker 1: Sleep? I can't get any time? What you say a
company or a beautiful woman is at the best lucky?
Then almost everyone is asleep? Cannot I please? Is that good? World?
Then then you'll join me. I put some brandy and
the glass down with me. We could share it.
Speaker 4: Well, it's it's against rules. Still, why don't you give
me your briefcase and I'll put it on the seat
behind you so that you can move over and I'll
join you.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no problem. I moved to the window
seat to make room.
Speaker 4: But your briefcase.
Speaker 1: Well, now I keep it with me?
Speaker 4: Is it so precious? What'sn't it? The crown jewels?
Speaker 1: What it contains is my business, senior? But what would it?
Pretty many post like you care about business affairs? Large?
Drink to what you would be only between a man
and a woman.
Speaker 7: Love aventur amarosa, the lacorass on.
Speaker 4: Shoot better use both as to pour. Your brandis in
your mighty hair pocket.
Speaker 1: Oh, I take my chance?
Speaker 7: Did not you when you sat down here with me?
Speaker 4: I just wanted to be sure you were all right?
Speaker 1: You mean you think I drink too much?
Speaker 5: I'm celebrating my dear, celebrating and era.
Speaker 4: Death in a sense bad they knew better. What do
you mean?
Speaker 7: All in this such a such a direight world.
Speaker 4: Yes, or bricase ah.
Speaker 1: Birthcase in this day all excuse me? It is the
ene a long art stroger, what have brandy? It is
good for sleeping, for stopping the mind from from racing
for Friday, a little piece. I am so suddenly.
Speaker 4: Weak, Senor Ringos, Senor, that like a light and let's
see if I can. Oh there, that's it, Senor pasta
la vista mico. I hope this thing doesn't have to
be carried at just the ride hangle.
Speaker 6: Oh hostess, Yes, sister, I was wondering about my orange
juice or whatever you have. Oh I I'm so sorry,
Sister Teresa.
Speaker 2: Isn't his sister Teresa.
Speaker 4: I just have to take this to the captain and
then I'll bring it to you.
Speaker 2: But no hurry. They are taught to be very patient,
you know.
Speaker 1: W well, what's the word, ergie?
Speaker 4: Not the doctor. I don't think he opened his bag
without any hesitation, and all that seemed to be in
there was you know, stethoscope, blood pressure thing, bottles, any one.
Speaker 1: Of which could be matribis have to bind at this
altitude of blows his shreds. What have you got in
your hands?
Speaker 4: I took this briefcase from Signor Ramos. I suppose I
ought to be insulted in the midst of making a
pass at me. You fell asleep.
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like like any mad bomber, just the same.
Speaker 4: I'd like to get this out of my hands. He says.
It contains the secrets of a new tomorrow, and he.
Speaker 1: Sound from it. Let me listen. Hmm, it's quite as
a grave. Oh, that's a great symbily. Don't open it.
Take it in the galley, Scutty, put in the sink,
fill it with water, make sure it's well soaked before
you open it. Okay, skipper, it will.
Speaker 4: Do any more. Word from ground control?
Speaker 1: Uh, not really, energie, except they don't think it's a whole.
They don't report the source. The information seems reliable. How
about the nun Have you checked her out yet?
Speaker 4: No, she's the last, because it's so ridiculous. A little
round wrinkled butterball who could have been everybody's mother.
Speaker 1: Your little round butterball may turn out to be a
Peter Lorie in disguise getting over the wide open sea.
And I'm getting the jitters. Better take care of it
now I.
Speaker 4: Have a good excuse. She asked for some orange juice.
Speaker 1: Eh, wish we could slip a mickey in it, just
in case.
Speaker 4: Oh, just one thing about the doctor Deeke. What I
tried throwing him a little curve just to see if
he checked out?
Speaker 1: What do you mean the curve?
Speaker 4: Well, it was when he noticed the burn on my
hand and wanted to fix it. It's nothing, of course,
but it was a great excuse to get him to
open his bag.
Speaker 1: We've been over there except for one thing.
Speaker 4: After I got him engaged in conversation, I told him
about something that once happened to me so well. I
once had dreams being a US ski champion. I was
weighing over my head and one year on a giant solemn,
I blew it but good and was lucky to come
out with nothing more than a fractured tibia. I said
to the medico that what I broke was the ulna
bone in my leg.
Speaker 1: And he didn't react well.
Speaker 4: He he was busy at the moment, and besides, we
do have different.
Speaker 1: Language roots not in Latin. I don't like it, Angie.
We've got to cover that just in case. Okay, not
your worry. What the hell we're on automatic. I'll send
the flight with in it factor i'd heard on the
doctor till we get God's be willing some more definite
news godside, how's it going? Oh? What do I answer
to that one? I'm a grown man doing a ridiculous
and possibly destructive thing because a voice on a pipe
through the fear of God in a plain old briefcase,
I'm soaking it in the saint.
Speaker 4: The plain old briefcase contains a.
Speaker 1: Bomb, supposing it doesn't contain a bob are our faces,
red Scotty, what's the word? Oh, the airlines are gonna
have one plenty mad customer named Aramos. What do you mean? Ah,
the poor guy. His briefcase is filled with nothing but
blueprints and a mockup of a new kind of sailing
vessel that doesn't use a helm. No redder, that's right,
it's a main center board plus a rear centerboard with
a kind of a tiller that controls both. It's it's
pretty hard to tell. It's all washed out after the soaka, Well,
I'll never mind that. Now airline would compensate him, maybe
backing Who knows? The big deal is that this rules
out him as our bomber too, right, so that narrows
it down to the nun if that's what she is,
I guess unless the the doctor has some nitro and
a bottle. Oh, you can rest easy about him. I
sent Billy back to sit behind him. Can't make a
move without Billy laying a hammer lock on him. But
how about Angie? She seems pretty well able to take
care of herself, especially with a nun, well less than nun.
Isn't the nun pek. What the hell am I gonna do.
That's my girl out there, and there are eighty four
people on this plane. Knock it off. I have some
dependence too, beyond our passenger list, and who once they
get killed in some senseless way that has nothing to
do with any of us. I want you to take
over the ship. I'm gonna take a small deck cruise
and see how things size up. Why can't because your
girl is right in the middle of this. It's just
a pointer too closely involved, like we've been a team
along laws Goti. You let me handle this. I won't
let Angie come him any more than you would. I
guess you're right. There's nothing like a neutral Obsen. You
don't know whether a war is in progress or never
had to happen at all. Captain Barnett is right, of course,
this may still be a normal flight upset only because
it has left a country boiling with unrest. Still, the
political implications are threatening. There is on board the plane
a man who, from the moment he acceded to power,
had to be marked for possible death. The terrible thing
is that the projected manner of his death is such
that if l Presidente is to be assassinated, so will
everyone else on flight eight oh one. I'll return shortly
with Act three. Turn to the mystery theater on WABC.
Half an hour out from the South American continent, headed
roughly north northwest for New Yor York, flight eight oh
one cruises serenely at thirty five thousand feet. Almost all
her passengers are asleep, and under normal conditions, half her
crew might be. But this is a special fight. Flight
control has alerted them from the ground that there may
be a maniac who, for political reasons, is ready to
blow the Great seven forty seven out of the head.
Speaker 6: It's so nice of you to bring me my orange juice.
My mouth was really quite dry. I don't blame your sister, Teresa.
It's a long tiring flight to mind. If I sit
with you for a moment, not at all. I'll take
your bag and put you touch it.
Speaker 2: I'll hold it here in my lap.
Speaker 4: It'll be perfectly say.
Speaker 6: It's safe where it is, and it isn't all that heavy.
Speaker 4: Pleat it down. Ah, you look so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Count No, No, I want it this way.
Speaker 4: You must have something very important in there. I do
really church relics, not exactly. Why would you ask that, Well,
you have been with the mission in South America. I
thought perhaps you might have discovered some relics to bring
back with you. I mean, since you're so protective about
the bag relics.
Speaker 6: Yes, innocence, and I am protective about it.
Speaker 4: You're going back to New York.
Speaker 2: Oh, dear me.
Speaker 6: No, my diocese is in the Middle West. I imagine
I'll be assigned to Cleveland.
Speaker 4: For Heaven's sake, I hope so. No, No, I didn't
mean that it's my hometown. I was born there, you know, Cleveland.
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, I spent several years there before I was
sent on my mission.
Speaker 4: On the east or the west side?
Speaker 2: Uh, on the east side.
Speaker 4: Anywhere near Cleveland Heights. Why do you ask, Oh, well,
that's just where I was born, on the corner of
huff In Euclid Avenues. I think I remember that there
was a big convent.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
Speaker 6: I come from a very small order. We don't live
in a convent. Just one of those big old houses.
Speaker 4: You know, near the playhouse the garden, I said, is
it near the Cleveland Playhouse?
Speaker 2: Not far from there? Do you have the time?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 4: Why, yes, it's a it's a quarter to one.
Speaker 3: Excuse me?
Speaker 2: Fifteen minutes?
Speaker 4: Fifteen minutes?
Speaker 6: Why yes, to tell my thieves, you know, but to
say a little prayer for for all of us.
Speaker 4: You are you're quite sure you don't want me to
take that bag for you, very sure. I've never really
seen one quite like it.
Speaker 6: It was my father's really quite wooney. It was just
the right size. They were called carpet bags, you know,
because they were made out of coppet.
Speaker 4: Why your pride?
Speaker 2: Don't touch it?
Speaker 4: Please, I'm sorry. I was just interested. Is it lined
inside or just the back of the carpet. I'd love
to have a look.
Speaker 6: No, there's nothing to look at, really, nothing you'd want
to see. Well, I'm really quite interested. Well, I'm sorry,
but it would embarrass me to open it. What time
is it now, please? It's about twelve minutes too.
Speaker 3: Type it co polse me?
Speaker 1: Oh, this is deep study? Everything all right with you?
As today? She goes, where are you the tail? Golly?
Any further news from ground control? Out of pape?
Speaker 3: What's doing out there?
Speaker 1: Your girl is talking to the nun? Nothing first class?
You're gonna stroll by on my way back check things out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for Pete's sake, don't leave her alone with me.
Speaker 1: Hold on.
Speaker 3: Flight eight zero one, co Violet Scott speaking what that's for?
Speaker 1: Dead? Shoot?
Speaker 3: Good lord? Look, look I think.
Speaker 8: We got her.
Speaker 3: Keep your fingers crossed. We're in time or you're gonna
be out one plane, crew and passengers. Deacon Deacon was controlled.
The tip is confirmed. There gears someone aboard with enough
nitro to blow us the Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Come, maybe it's said doctor after all, No.
Speaker 2: It's a woman.
Speaker 3: It's got to be at Cone and Andie's with her deck.

Speaker 1: Well, how would you like to go all the way?

bag for you.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I couldn't leave it.
Speaker 4: I'll watch it for you. I'm on a rest break anyway.

as heavy as it looks.
Speaker 1: Oh, very well, whatever the sister wants.
Speaker 6: Old ladies get so so set in our habits.
Speaker 2: Oh what time is it?
Speaker 1: Ten minutes before one?

I can open the door.
Speaker 2: I'm following you.
Speaker 4: She's got some kind of fox in that bag.
Speaker 1: It sir, controls confirmed. When I grab her arms, get
that bag away from her, but don't open it. Okay, Roger,

would be enough to take you to the moon and back.
Speaker 2: How can you ever?
Speaker 1: It just came open.
Speaker 5: There's no catch on it.
Speaker 1: What's inside?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's an animal carrier. There's a cat inside.
Speaker 2: I can seeize, Captain, you're hurting me.
Speaker 8: I know it's against all the rules, and I'll have
to do pennance for it.
Speaker 2: But I couldn't think.
Speaker 8: Of poor Tommy riding back there in the luggage compartment
twenty years as we've been together, Tommy and I.
Speaker 2: And I had to have him with me on his
last journey.
Speaker 8: Besides, I wasn't sure the air people would allow him
on the plane at all.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: He's dead, Ucy.
Speaker 8: He passed away to his final reward before I ever
got him on the plane. I was taking him home
to bury him in our little convent.
Speaker 1: Gun.
Speaker 8: All the LUNs loved Tommy, and he did them, he'd
want to be near them.
Speaker 1: A dead cat. Oh, it would be funny if what
the devil are we gonna do?

Speaker 4: Maybe I should have taken poor sister Teresa back to
her seat instead of sending Bill.
Speaker 1: Back with him. No, no, no, I need you to
go over that manifest with me again. Scottie got a cigarette?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, here, I'll light it.
Speaker 1: Give me Those women with matches are a positive menace?
Speaker 4: What you mean?

towards him, women always strike them away from them. I've

Speaker 4: What's wrong?
Speaker 1: What burn?
Speaker 4: I got from the guy who's listed as James Heart.
That's the way he struck a match away from him.
And come to think of it, he has a kind
of strange voice. He could be a woman.
Speaker 1: I think Angie's got a deer. He was just asking
me when we'd be over deep water. Look gotta work fast,
Scotty an automatic. He ask for her, Give me one
of your socks? How do I Why don't ask questions? Angie?

Speaker 1: About No, don't you worry about that, Angie. And he
will take care of you.

colonial glass. He saw, the kid is crazy. She'd actually
have killed nearly one hundred people to get rid of
a president who happens to be a middle of the roader,
the best thing that's happened to his country in the
last hundred years. Scott, he did you give me a
cigarette and this one? I was like myself, honey, honey,

lot more than just luck.
