Synopsis: Donna Jensen was raised literally and figuratively on the wrong side of the trailer park in Silver Springs, Nevada. She always believed it was her destiny to get out of Silver Springs. After reading Sally Weston's book, Sally who is arguably the most famous now ex-flight attendant in the world, Donna believes the path to leaving Silver Springs is to become a flight attendant despite never having been on an airplane. After an initial bumpy start to this career, Donna shows a natural flair for the job, so much so that she applies to work for world class Royal Airlines, where Sally Weston mentors. After meeting Donna, Sally believes Donna is destined for flight attendant greatness, namely working first class in the New York-Paris flights. Donna believes in herself as a flight attendant, but has to overcome some obstacles, including flight attendant trainer John Witney, who has some hidden anger issues, and her friend Christine Montgomery who also wants to be a great flight attendant despi

is repeat after me

A-B-C

Easy as 1-2-3

As simple as do-re-mi

A-B-C

1-2-3, baby,

you and me, girl

It's just like a roller coaster.

You ever been

on a plane before?

Well, yeah.

I mean, you know.

Sometimes it helps

if you don't look down.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I'm doing great.

[ Whirring loudly ]

Sh*t!

-It's just the wheels.

-We lost the wheels?

No, Donna. Relax.

[ Breathing heavily ]

I am relaxed!

[ Whimpers ]

Oh! Oh!

We're gonna crash!

Oh, my God!

We're gonna crash!

-Come back here!

-We're gonna crash!

We're gonna crash!

[ Screams ]

MAN:

Sit down!

[ Screaming continues ]

SHERRY:

Thank you. Fly with us again.

-Enjoy the sights.

-Thanks.

How you doing?

I was terrible.

I couldn't walk.

I spilled the coffee.

I totally freaked out

the passengers.

It wasn't exactly

a frozen lake up there.

Turbulence is tough.

You'll get the hang of it.

Am I gonna get fired?

-I'm gonna get fired.

-Nobody's getting fired.

Really.

You're gonna be a pro.

You're going places.

You think?

I'm a pilot. It's my job to know

where people are going.

One for you.

Put your seat

in the upright position.

Ma'am, would you put

your tray table up?

To fasten your seat belt,

insert the metal fitting.

Before long, I was flying

full-speed ahead.

I even got my own trainee.

Christine.

There wasn't a lot to do

on weekends.

There was always tanning

at Lake Havasu.

I can't believe your boyfriend

owns this whole houseboat.

If you don't marry him,

I am gonna kill you.

First of all, sweetie,

Herb ain't asked me.

Oh, my God!

What's wrong?

[ Laughs ]

My clasp broke.

There's some safety pins in

a shoebox in the bedroom closet.

CHRlSTlNE:

Go topless.

You are a very bad

influence on me.

Thank you.

[ Horn honks ]

[ Horn honking ]

SHERRY:
Mmm-mmm.

Lake Patrol at 2:00.

Hey, Sherry.

Herb around?

Don't know.

Might be inside.

What'd he do?

Take a leak in the lake?

The guy ran off with my

flare gun and never returned it.

Well, you have my permission

to teach that man a lesson.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, Ted, this is Christine.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Hey, let me know if you need

any backup.

I might take you up on that.

[ Clattering ]

-[ Grunts ] Freeze!

-[ Screams ]

I am so sorry.

I thought you were Herb.

Do I look like a Herb?

No, ma'am.

You look nothing like a Herb.

I'd appreciate it

if you could find it

in your heart to forgive me.

It's all right.

Who are you, anyway?

I'm no one.

I mean I'm Ted.

My name's Ted.

Well, Ted, I'm Donna.

You can uncover your eyes now.

It's nice to meet you, Donna.

My clasp broke.

I was looking for a safety pin.

Don't move.

Help is on the way.

Clasp, huh?
