That's right.

Yes, she's a great girl, isn't she?

Al is on his way over.

It's your lay-off day.

There is a new burn in the south rim.

There are already two pilots down.

Down?

sick.

What you got?

We've got nine hot spots.

We're only taking care of three of them.

I love you!

You can't leave without knowing that.

I know you do and you know I do.

How would I know that?

You never say the words!

These days we've had, last night.

These things are fragile!

What? We got a lot of things

settled last night.

shut up!

Kiss me and fly!

Dorinda, I love you!

I love you!

Al the Pal, this is Pete st. Pete. Over.

This is Al the Pal.

I've got you loud and proud.

This is Fire Boss, over.

This is Al the Pal.

Roger, Al.

Go for the leading edge of the fire.

You got it.

Two minutes behind him, Boss.

Good enough, good buddy.

Get down!

save some fire for me.

There is plenty of fire for everybody.

Watch his next pass and build on that.

Bad strike!

Pull up.

Goddamn it, I thought that was it, man!

Oh, sh*t.

Al! What happened?

Talk to me.

My engine is on fire! Can you believe that?

And I was in such a good mood.

You think you can make it back?

It ain't happening! The fire will hit

the fuel tank any second! Damn!

-Use your extinguisher.

-Already did.

I'm screwed.

Pete, lighten up

or you won't pull out of that dive!

Pete, this ain't a dogfight, man!

Pete, this is the boss!

That dive is way too steep!

Pull out of there!

You're too heavy! Get out of there!

Now!

Baby, you're the greatest!

Come on.

Get up!

Come on, Pete, pull up.

Come on, man.

Get up!

Oh, yes! He made it!

That lucky son of a b*tch.

Hello, Pete.

Hap.

That was quite a show back there.

Yes, ma'am.

Take a seat.

I sure saved Al's bacon, all right.

Too bad about my port engine.

My fuel tank went up like...

-Just a minute.

-Comfy around the neck?

Listen, how did I get out of that one?

You didn't.

My plane blew up. I remember that.

A real fireball.

Now I'm sitting in the woods,

getting my hair cut.

Either I'm dead or I'm crazy.

You're not crazy, Pete.

Don't think...

...l'm doubting your good faith.

I just want to get something clear.

Okay?

I'm dead?

That's right.

I'm dead?

Keep the sideburns.

What a jerk I turned out to be.

Dead.

What do you think of that?

Dorinda.

she's still not over it.

I hope not. I've only been dead 20 minutes.

Yes and no.

Down there they think it's six months.

Time is funny stuff.

A lot funnier than Einstein ever figured out.

How did he take it?

That'll do it.

Where was I?

"Time is funny stuff."

space has its points, too.

so in the five months since you crashed...

You said it was six months.

That was then. I'm explaining this
