Gabe finally grabs the line, secures it to a heavy piton, and
hammers it into the wall.
GABE:
(to Susan)
This guy showing you a good time?
THE HELICOPTER:
swings over across to the facing mountain -- Maggie lands the
copter, in spite of the winds, on a small plateau. Frank gets
out to secure the wire -- there's now a lifeline spanning the
chasm.
ON THE LEDGE:
Gabe finishes anchoring the line in the rock -- he
extinguishes his cigarette in the snow, and naturally, pockets
the butt. Hal, propped up against the wall, expertly rigs a
seat harness around his legs -- Susan helps him get part of it
around his splint, and Gabe clips it to the line.
GABE:
Now, remember -- keep your arms and
legs within the vehicle at all
times --
HAL:
(laughing)
F*** you --
With that, Hal pulls himself hand-over-hand across the sloping
line -- Hal makes a point of looking down --
is vertigo defined. Thirty five hundred feet straight down.
You could stack the World Trade Center towers on top of each
other and they'd still be shorter than this mountain is high.
However --
HAL:
lets go of the overhead line and claps his hands to his face
in mock horror -- he quickly whizzes down the last thirty feet
of the line, where Frank catches him and pulls him out. Hal
gets out of the harness, checks every stitch of it, signals
thumbs-up, and sends it back.
THE LEDGE:
Gabe, retrieves the harness on a small attachment line, and
gives Susan a reassuring smile, but she's still, sensibly,
very scared. Gabe recovers the harness, rigs Susan into it,
and meticulously re-checks it.
GABE:
Ready?
(sees she's afraid)
Did he tell you about the time he
almost made it up Everest?
SUSAN:
He said you gave him a bad oxygen mask
--
GABE:
Well, if he's bored you with that
bullshit, then this has to be the best
part of a bad date. Right?
