Planes Page #2

PLANE:
I'm okay.

(EXPLOSION ON TV)

BRENT:
Ooh! That's got to hurt.

(WIND HOWLING)

CHUG:
They say

he shot down 50 planes.

I heard stories about his squadron,

the Jolly Wrenches.

Mmm-hmm.

They were the roughest, toughest,

meanest flyers in the navy.

Ruthless killers who showed no mercy.

- Uh, wait, so...

- No mercy!

They would shoot you

as soon as look at you.

- I hope you're right about this.

- (DOORBELL RINGS)

Chug!

I'll wait here.

(DOOR OPENING)

DUSTY:
Uh...

Hey, there, Skipper.

(NERVOUS CHUCKLE)

Say, I'm trying out for

the Wings Around the Globe Rally.

And I know you can't fly anymore,

but, you know, they say,

"Those who can't do, teach."

So...

(GULPS)

Okay, what I mean to say is,

you're not a truck.

So, I was wondering

if you would train me?

CHUG:
Go on, he's warming up to you.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

So, I heard you shot down 50 planes.

You looking to be number 51?

Uh... No.

No, no, no! Wait, wait.

I just... I figured,

with my guts and your glory...

Your guts would be a grease spot

on a runway somewhere.

Go home. You're in over your head, kid.

Look, you flew all those...

(SIGHS)

CHUG:
Let's try the back door.

CHUG:
Hello, Lincoln!

(HONKS HORN) Hey, Dusty!

I don't know how

you talked me into coming to this.

Now, come on, Dottie.

Wow! I don't believe it. A Red Tail P-51!

DUSTY:
Oh, man! A Sea Fury!

Check it out!

Wow!

NED:
(OVER PA)

Ladies and gentleplanes.

May we have your attention, please?

Kindly direct your windscreens

to the heavens above

and give a warm welcome

to our special guest.

The Prince of Propellers.

When he's speeding, he's leading.

Get my good side, fellas.

When he's grinning, he's winning.

The one and only

- Ripslinger!

- (CROWD CHEERING)

You're caught in the riptide!

(CHUCKLES)

- Thanks for coming out.

- (DOTTIE COUGHING)

Who wants a picture?

All right, one at a time.

Well, with all that self-promotion,

at least he's modest.

Dottie, that's Ripslinger.

He's captain of Team RPX.

They call him...

BOTH:
The Green Tornado.

Oh, he's so good, he's pre-qualified.

Oh. And those two, Ned and Zed.

BOTH:
The Twin Turbos.

They're world-class racers.

You know, I hear they used to be

one plane and were separated at birth.

Wow. I wish I was separated at birth.

Okay, people.

This is the last of four time trials

being held worldwide.

Today's qualifying round

is one lap around the pylons.

The top five finishers will qualify

for the Wings Around the Globe Rally.

Oh, yeah.

Fonzarelli, you're up, my man.

(SPITS)

Oh, man! That's nasty.

And he's through the start gate!

The racers must pass through

the blue pylons on the horizontal

and around the red pylons

on the knife-edge.
