Robert,
are you there? Come in, boss.
That was a good one,
huh, Sheila?
Yeah, it blowed up real good,
shook my whole office.
There's a call for you
on line one.
Take a message.
I'm watching explosions.
It's Mr. Ackerman.
I just talked to him an
hour ago. What does he want?
I don't know,
but he's waiting.
Okay.
Well, I am not
laying anybody else off.
Why is it the rich guys
are always so cheap?
How do you think they
got rich in the first place?
Hey, Karl.
How you doing?
For heaven's sakes, I just
talked to you an hour ago.
- Oh, yeah, right.
- Listen, Robert,
I told you about my daughter's
wedding this Saturday, right?
It's going to set you back
a bundle, huh?
Not anymore.
It's been called off.
Oh.
Oh, well, I'm sorry, Karl.
I'm not. It had disaster
written all over it,
it was going to cost me
a small fortune,
and I still have to pay
all the deposits.
Well, what happened?
My daughter says she's
had a change of heart,
but I think her fianc
finally came to his senses.
Well, I guess
the important thing is...
I'm coming up to the site
for a couple of days.
We can go over
those cutbacks we discussed.
Well, that sounds like
a great idea, Karl.
Your kids.
But, you know,
my kids are coming up
- this afternoon at...?
- 2:
00....2:
00, and they're stayingthrough till Tuesday, so...
Yes, that doesn't work, Robert.
What about your wife?
I hope she's coming along.
No, Karl, no. My wife's
not making this trip.
Hmm. Well, I guess we
all have our priorities.
I'll see you
in a couple of days.
What a jerk.
I don't think
I know a bigger jerk.
- Do you know a bigger jerk?
- You're still on speaker.
Kidding.
I want you to get
something to eat
before the plane comes, okay?
Hannah! Zach!
Almost done, Mom.
No, you're not, Zach.
You just started.
I'm a fast packer.
That's because
you're a slob.
Maybe, but I'm a fast slob.
Mom, done.
Chinook, you're it.
You're it, boy.
Chinook, what are you doing?
Zach, get out of my room.
- We're playing tag.
- Zach, get him out of my room.
He's messing up everything.
What in heaven's name
is going on in here?
Me and Chinook
are playing tag.
Zach and Chinook
came in my room
and messed up
my whole suitcase.
Okay.
It's a good thing
he's going with you.
Come on, Chinook. Come on.
Chinook, come on.
Let's go.
All right, guys,
we're really running late now,
so we got to hurry up, okay?
Well, you always
say I eat too fast.
I'm just trying to improve
my table manners.
He's messing with you, Mom.
Thank you, Hannah.
I'm aware of that.
And he's feeding the dog
under the table.
Stop feeding the dog
at the table.
Mom, why can't you
come visit Dad with us?
Sweetie, I told you I've got
too much to do
at work right now.
She doesn't want to see Dad.
Why not?
Because they're going
through a divorce. Duh.
You aren't getting a divorce
from Dad, are you?
Sweetie, we're just...
taking a little holiday
from each other. That's all.
That's called separation,
and you know
- Shut up, Zach!
- Hannah, stop.
Zach, not another word.
You know what?
I'm the only one
that ever tells the truth
around here.
I'm calling Dad.
Yeah?
Robert, I have
your son on line two.
Can you tell him I'm busy
right now, please?
Maybe you should
tell him that yourself.
I guess you're right.
Of course I'm right.
Hey, pal.
Dad?
You all packed up
and ready to go?
Yeah, almost ready to go.
I'm looking forward to
seeing you and your sister.
Don't forget Chinook.
How could I forget
that crazy dog?
He is crazy.
Anyway, look, buddy,
I got to get back to work, so...
Wait. I want to tell you about
my baseball game yesterday.
We were down three runs,
and all the bases were loaded.
It was the ninth inning.
I went up to bat, and then I...
Hey, Zach, look,
why don't you tell me
all this stuff when you
arrive in person, okay?
I'll see you in a couple hours.
Okay? Bye-bye, son.
I hit a home run.
Dad's busy, huh?
He's always busy.
Well, then,
it'll be up to you guys
to take his mind off work
for a little while.
I think the plane's here.
Okay, come on, you two!
Let's go.
- Don't forget Chinook.
- Let's go.
Oh, don't worry.
He's going.
Careful.
- Hi, Charlie.
- Mrs. Wade, so nice to see you.
Oh! Thank you.
This is my daughter Hannah
and my son Zach.
- Hi, Charlie.
- It is a pleasure to meet you two.
- Hey, Charlie.
- Hello.
And who is this beauty?
That's Chinook.
- Oh!
Sorry. He gets a little
rambunctious sometimes.
He's crazy.
There you go.
Wow. How did you do that?
Oh, I know
especially these ones.
It's a working breed, you know.
If they don't have a job
to help them burn off
the excess energy,
they can be a little bit,
well, rambunctious.
All right, let's get your
luggage aboard, shall we?
- Come on, boy.
- That one's mine.
- I figured as much.
- Come on, Chinook.
All right, you guys.
okay, and be good.
Okay, Mom. Got to go.
- All right, honey. All right.
- Love you, Mom.
I love you too.
Oh, I love you, sweetie.
I'm wearing the medallion
you gave me.
Oh, good, sweetie.
Good.
Have fun, okay?
Oh!
on a small plane,
so they might be
a little bit scared.
- I'm not scared.
- Yeah, me neither.
Well, don't worry, Mrs. Wade.
I'll make sure
I take good care of them.
Thanks.
Have fun, guys.
Thanks.
Aw, Chinook,
why are you making noise?
It's okay.
It's all right, boy.
It's all right.
So what do you guys think?
You like it up here?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Guess that makes it
unanimous.
You guys aren't bored
back there, are you?
- No way, Charlie.
- This is really cool, Charlie.
the only way to fly.
I'll have to remember
that one.
That was kind of stupid, Hannah.
Shut up.
All right, guys, down there,
that's Lake Wipissing.
Your dad's mine's on the north
end, so we're not too far now.
Yay.
- Charlie, are you married?
- Nope.
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- No.
You seem like
a really nice guy
and relatively handsome.
Thanks.
I don't know why you
don't have a girlfriend.
Well, I guess not too many girls
want to come
all this way to visit.
Maybe that's why Mom
didn't want to come.
- That's not why.
- Shut up, Zach.
What's happening?
Uh... just a little
engine trouble, guys.
Just stay calm, and...
just make sure your
seat belts are on tight.
Mayday, Mayday. Cessna
1-8-0-Yankee-whiskey-kilo.
Engine failure.
Three souls aboard.
Zach, I'm scared.
Mayday, Mayday.
Cessna
1-8-0-Yankee-whiskey-kilo.
Declaring an emergency.
Over.
Are we going to die, Zach?
Charlie, there's smoke coming
in.
Guys, we're going
to have to make
an emergency landing, okay?
I need for you to put
your head between
your knees now, please.
