You look clammy. Are you all right?

Me? I'm fine.

Mike, it's no big deal. Not every

experience in life is memorable.

You've been with many women.

It's understandable.

I hate root beer.

Come on, it's funny!

What? To hear you call a wonderful

experience forgettable?

What would you call it?

You didn't say anything,

so I didn't.

I'm not going to embarrass you.

That's hilarious.

One thing about me, I don't forget.

I know when I forget something.

If you know what you forgot,

you didn't forget it.

We've been experiencing trouble

with one of our engines.

Actually, two engines

on the right wing.

We have to make

an unscheduled landing.

There's a landing site

on a Cook Island atoll.

Attendants, please review

the emergency landing procedures.

We should be on the ground

very shortly.

He found an atoll.

We got a place to land.

It's a sunken volcano.

He's got a place to land.

There's nothing but water out there!

No lights, no land!

They do this all the time

with coordinates and vectors.

With no engine on the right wing?

He can land on one engine.

It's fine.

I spend my life on planes.

Don't worry.

Let's hear it!

Let's hear it!

- What?

- Excuse me.

As we're on a rather small landing

strip built during World War II...

...there's no immediate possibility

of moving you by air from the island.

But we have three ships nearby...

...to ferry our passengers

to Fiji, Tahiti or Hawaii...

...one of which you can see moored

to our right.

We'll help you make connections

from any of these airports.

If you'll return to your seats...

...our flight attendants will

give you information.

Thank you.

Tahiti, Fiji or Hawaii?

Go with what you know. I know Tahiti.

They're all 2 or 3 days away.

Days?

Forget Sydney for me.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I gotta call New York.

Do the ships have phones?

- Sometimes.

- Really?

Well... congratulations.

- For what?

- Lynn Weaver.

Tell her from me

she has a gallant fianc?

I know Hawaii, so have a nice trip.

Thank you. You, too.

Don't get too disoriented.

Terry, I want you to read this

and give me your opinion.

Chernobyl. That's good. Chernobyl.

That cloud went around the earth.

Want hear a poem? Listen to this:

Oh, Chernobyl cloud

Chernobyl cloud

What did you do?

Yesterday I had one head

Today I have two

Excuse me.

This boat does stop at Raiatea?

Raiatea, Tangiroa,

Huahine and Morea.

- Is Raiatea the first stop?

- Can we talk?

I'd like to make a phone call

to Sydney.

No telephone! Send telegram.

How do I send one?

Form in stateroom.

Fill out. Hang on door.

- Do you happen to have a form?

- Form in stateroom. Fill out!

I understand! I'm asking nicely,

do you have a form?
