Life on the Line Page #2

Synopsis: LIFE ON THE LINE is a riveting action thriller and family drama centered on Beau (John Travolta), his beloved niece Bailey (Kate Bosworth) and the hardworking men who risk their lives to work "on the line" and keep the electric grid running. These unsung heroes brave raging storms and dangerously dizzying heights in their dedication to keeping the populace safe. Toiling hundreds of feet in the air on wires carrying as much as 500,000 volts of electricity, tragedy is often inches away. Haunted by the electrocution death of his brother, Beau is devoted to Bailey and determined to see her go off to college and away from the life of linemen. Bailey has other plans, which include the strapping second-generation lineman Duncan (Devon Sawa), whom Beau despises. A deadly tempest is brewing and headed straight to their Texas town. Beau, Duncan and a legion of linemen are thrust into the eye of the storm and must face down impending disaster to keep their community connected. This compelling act

I'll tell you something.

What?

Grab your tool and

go back to work.

Do not make me call

your probation officer.

Go!

You approach not Bailey.

Hi, beautiful.

I'll smoke.

You want to stop?

When you will recover smile.

Thank you.

Come on, Dylan.

We have great kids.

I'll get your helmet.

The kids are right there.

Stop, Carline.

- We're in the room?

- Carline!

What is it?

What is it?

I called it a week ago.

I had stuff to do.

Sorry.

What such stuff?

Can I have a ham and

cheese sandwich?

The cook is paused.

Please.

You'd be too cute.

Okay.

Why so secretive?

The university hath remembered?

- Without mustard?

- Without mustard.

I thought you were leaving soon.

You should have remembered.

Bailey, what does that make?

Nothing.

I have to go to work.

You got a job?

I have a job.

- Here.

- It's lovely.

Drink this.

I love you so much.

You know that?

- This fact saucer.

- Good game.

I'll post it on the Internet.

Mouse, man. Tape laying.

Oh, f***!

What makes you laugh?

You're stuck because your

knees are too near the post.

You have learned that the first day.

- Everybody inside.

- You heard ?

Okay?

Who hired him?

All I know is that it's not you.

Why are we doing this to me?

And it is late.

Do not syncope, Mr. Ginner.

Come on, gentlemen.

One sits.

You are silent and listen.

- The horror movie?

- Go ahead.

You see this guy?

This guy has passed with

flying colors the safety test.

It was one of the top 10.

One day he has not quite put

all his protective equipment.

I do not know why.

He was late,

He might head elsewhere.

But if you think

Half a million volts,

it's not much,

You're so strong

You never make a mistake,

It not happen,

Then you're too stupid.

Even if you're smart,

If you listen to what I say,

If you follow the procedure

Simply an unguarded moment,

you think of money problems,

Your wife

Or your mistress, or both.

One second of inattention,

A moment when you

are not focused,

And you're dead.

I want to be left all

the problems at home.

We stay focused.

And we do not malignant.

The company

Generates most of the Texas

network modernization

And it is also the biggest

project we've had to do.

What awaits you is no picnic.

God knows that this

business is not easy.

But the network has more than 30 years.

And we must renew entirely

before the storm season.

It is not too hit the street,

But lineman is the 4th

most dangerous occupation.

Develop a rabid tiger furry

Is the 5th most dangerous job.

That does not prevent me from sleeping.

It's a joke.

Questions?

Sh*t.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm coming to see you.

- You should not be there.
