The Astronaut's Wife Page #2

I'm all right.

Yeah, I'm all right.

Good.

I got to pee.

I'll see what I can do for you.

Where's Alex?

Is he all right?

Spencer, what is that?

Did you feel that?

My God, what is that?

Honey, I'm here.

God damn it!

What can I do?

Jesus. Hold him.

Help him!

Clear!

That's it.

He's still at zero.

Nothing.

Charging, three hundred.

Clear.

We got him.

Hold off on that intubator.

Stand by with some dopamine.

Let's get an EKG prepped.

What did you say?

Well, I told that bloated

fast-food-eating motherf***er...

that we'd never have gotten

a chance to be heroes...

if he hadn't cut our budget

andforced us...

to put that piece of sh*t

exploding satellite into orbit.

Really?

And then what happened?

Said he'd never been talked to

like that before by anybody...

and I said I didn't give

a big hairy rat's ass...

and if he ever called me again,

I would track him down...

roust him out of his bunk, pull

his pants around his ankles...

and spank him

with a coat hanger...

right there in front of

his wife and children.

Well, that's real subtle.

Yeah, I thought it

pretty subtle.

You want to tell me what you

really said to the president?

Yeah.

I thanked him for his call.

Then I asked him

what he was wearing...

and he started breathing

kind of heavy...

made a funny noise, and hung up.

What do you think that means?

Maybe he's not into you.

I guess not.

She got balloons.

Why didn't I get no balloons?

Because you got candy.

- ain't got no candy.

- You got candy.

- Where's my candy?

- n the car.

Does he ever talk about it?

Did Spencer ever say anything

about what happened up there?

What it was like

when they were alone?

It's going to be OK.

They're back.

He doesn't talk about it,

does he?

Neither does Alex.

Never mentions it...

not a word.

Well, do you blame them?

Those two minutes,

they almost died, Jillian.

But they didn't.

But they almost did.

To go through that together...

to come back,

and never talk about it...

never bring it up-

it's bizarre.

It's over.

Honey...

I know this has to be hard

for you, too.

It just scares me that they act

like it never happened.

There you go.

- Thanks, Commander.

- You got it, buddy.

Hey, Mike, what did he write?

Guess what.

What?

I'm resigning from the service.

Because of what happened?

Well, it's because

I'm done up there.

I got an offer

from an aerospace firm...

executive position...

lots of money.

I mean boatloads of money, Jill.

What do you know

about being an executive?

You're a flier, Spence.

No, honey.

What I am

is a true American hero.

and you heard it.

Anyway...
