I said, "Look, lady, the seats haven't

gotten smaller...

...your ass has gotten bigger. "

I'm sorry, sir. This cabin is

restricted to first class.

Are you looking for this?

Can I get you anything?

Scotch. Blended. Straight.

This is your captain speaking.

We've got a report

of some turbulence ahead.

Please return to your seats

and fasten your seat belts...

...and remain there until we release

the fasten-your-seat-belt sign.

I hear birds can't fly this high.

I hear only angels can.

Where's the bomb?

I am the bomb.

- Shall I pour your scotch?

- No, I'll take the bottle.

Another movie from an old TV show.

What are you gonna do?

Walk out.

Very funny.

No, it isn't.

What are you doing?!

What are you doing?! Get off of me!

Help me! Help me!

Help me! Be careful!

Nice flight?

You crazy bastard!

I think you mean "crazy b*tch. "

What is this?

What's going on here?

Damn, I hate to fly.

No way! No way!

What's with that?!

Who are you people?!

Who are you people?!

Once upon a time, there were three

very different little girls.

...who grew up to be

three very different women.

- Making her a five-day champion.

Way to go, Natalie.

They have three things in common:

They're brilliant, beautiful...

I'm going to be all over you!

You will be kissing my ass...

...and they work forme.

My name is Charlie.

- Let's go this way.

- No!

This way!

Wait. I'm not a yo-yo!

Good morning, Starfish.

Good morning, Chad.

Sweet Chad.

I figured we could have a little

breakfast.

And then, maybe, after...

...we could have a little Chad.

Hold that thought.

Yes, I'll be right in.

Isn't that just the luck?

I can make something besides eggs.

No, it's not the eggs.

Is it the boat?

It's not the boat. I have to go.

Is it the Chad?

It might be the Chad.

It's the Chad!

It's the Chad!

Eduardo, move me.

Good morning.

I signed the waiver, so feel free

to stick things in my slot.

Thanks.

No problem.

Hey! I'll be right in.

I want to get one thing straight

between us.

Go ahead. We're past keeping secrets

at this point.

This is going to be long...

...hard and rough.

Sometimes when it's rough,

I just get there faster.

If you don't defuse this bomb,

L.A. Will be an underwater attraction.

Which wire?

The red one or the blue one?

That is not helping.

Ooh, my muffins.

This is stupid, anyway.

Why wouldn't I just yank the wire?

They're dummy wires, honey.

The real mechanism is inside.

Trip the external feedback circuit,

the bomb will detonate.

Wow.

For a bikini waxer,

you know a lot about bombs.

Isn't it amazing how much information

you can learn off the Internet?

I'll be right there.

When do I get to meet this Charlie?

Charlie's not a very social person.

But Charlie's a chick though, right?

I mean, definitely a woman, right?

I can't keep up this facade

with Jason anymore.

Who wants a man who's intimidated

by a strong woman?

They come on nice until they find out

I can shatter a block with my head.

I love that trick.

Blueberry muffins.

I made them from scratch.

Yum.

Sounds good.

These look great, Alex.

Oh, my God.

What's this?

Chinese fighting muffin.

Nothing to laugh about.

My buddy took a fighting muffin in the

chest, he went home in 4 Ziploc bags.

They're not Chinese. They're not

fighting. They're blueberry.

Are you okay?

She's having secret-identity trouble.

Aren't we all?

Scoot.

Alex...

...all my Angels...

...the heart is a muscle.

In bodybuilding,

we exercise the muscle...

...and it grows bigger and stronger.

It's the same with the heart.

I must have the heart of a rhino.

You do. Be proud of it.

Mes Anges...

...these little hurts will heal.

And at crunch time,

your hearts will be so buff...

...you'll be able to clean

and jerk his love...

...three sets, 10 reps each.

Thanks, Bos.

Excuse me.

I have to take a phone call.

Good morning, Angels.

Good morning, Charlie.

Dylan, Alex, Natalie, I hope you're

ready for your next assignment.

Meet Eric Knox, a brilliant engineer

and founder of Knox Technologies...

...an up-and-coming communications

software company.

Last night, Knox was kidnapped...

...and his voice-identification

software was stolen.

Who's the lady?

Vivian Wood,

president ofKnox Technologies.

Oh, she did it.

I guess we can all go home then.

Angels, meet Vivian Wood,

our new client.

She's hired us to find Eric Knox.

Hello.

Who'd have the most to gain

from Knox's disappearance?

Me, probably. I'm his partner.

Before we were partners...

...we were friends.

Does Knox have any enemies?

Roger Corwin. He's owner...

...of Red Star, the largest

communications satellite firm.

Six months ago,

he tried to buy Knox Technologies.

When Knox refused to sell,

Corwin lost it.

Charming.

Was there a ransom demand?

Nothing. But I know he's still alive.

I'll study the garage footage.

Something may be there.

So Corwin is our only lead.

Hopefully, he'll take us to Knox.

Corwin gets a weekly massage

at Madame Wong's House ofBlossoms.

That's our chance to feel him out.

He said what?

"Over my dead body"?

I can accept those terms.

It's getting a little chilly in here,

Yoko. I could use some warming up.

At your service.

Good.

Could we get started this millennium?

Banzai!

Ooh, yeah.

You're holding a lot of tension...

...in your 4th and 5th vertebrae.

I know.

Let me see if I can work that...
