and will take your place.
Are you telling me...?
I'm not supposed to be here.
But you are here.
You guys made a mistake.
This is insupportable.
You're talking to Mr Jordan.
- Anybody can make a mistake.
- Mr Jordan, we're due to take off.
I have the situation in hand.
If you don't take your place, the
others can't complete their journey.
- Is that fair?
- I'm not supposed to be fair.
If this is heaven,
YOU'RE supposed to be fair.
This is not heaven.
It's a way station.
- There is no mistake.
When is he due to arrive
at this way station?
Sir, I don't understand.
A check? Why?
The likelihood of one being right
increases in proportion
to how much others try
to prove him wrong.
Pendleton, Joseph. Due to arrive
10.17 am, March 20th, 2025.
Sir, I really can't believe it. I...
I took him out
just before the accident.
You did what?!
You're not supposed to do that,
you must wait for the outcome.
But I was so sure, and it looked
like it would be painful.
- Wait. Are you saying...?
- Is this your first assignment?
Yes, sir.
Haven't you learned the rules?
Every question of life and death
is a probability until the outcome.
So he jumped the gun.
Just put me back
and we'll forget the whole thing.
This man must be put back
into his body at once.
Yeah.
Thanks, Mr Jordan.
Hey, I'll see you in about 50 years.
Hey, hey, Max.
- Max, I'm back.
- He can't hear you, Mr Pendleton.
I hope they got the best football
team in America in heaven,
and I hope God makes you
first-string.
Oh. Max, I'm going to get
my body back.
Where's my body?
Oh, dear.
Cremated. I see.
on Sunday.
The body you occupied
on Earth has been cremated.
Uncremate me! You must be able
to do something right.
Do the words "not being a good sport"
mean anything to you?
We can put you
into another man's body,
provided his death
has not yet been discovered.
Are you kidding? Put me
into the body of another man?
I just got my body back in shape.
Joe, the only way you can return to
life is in the body of another man.
I shall have to take charge
of this case personally.
Incredibly graceful. He's about
your age and in perfect condition.
He's too short.
He'd never see over the line.
You know what kind of shape you gotta
be in to get to the Super Bowl?
Yes, Joe. I understand.
- He's not talking English.
- I told you he was German.
Hey, you talk any English?
We can't be seen or heard, Joe.
Well, I don't want to talk German.
- I gotta call plays in English.
- Joe, if you could not so much lower
but broaden your standards.
We've seen many bodies
