Please, l-I'd like my parachute now.
perfectly safe, Mr. Chan.
And besides, San Francisco
- How far ahead?
- Oh, a few hours.
- A few hours?
- [Thunderclap]
You're not worried, are you, Mr. Chan?
Oh, no. No.
Most statistics prove that you're safer
in a modern plane than in your own bathtub.
l- I'd rather be taking a bath.
- Tell me, how old
are you? - Twenty-one.
- Twenty-one, eh? - If
I reach my next birthday.
Well, according to my insurance figures...
you can expect 45.16 more years of life-
barring, of course, a fatal accident.

[Thunderclap]
Hi, Jimmy. Gimme a hand, will ya?
I'm on the last chapter of this yarn.
What would a fella do- a fella like
you- if faced with certain death?
Oh. Pop!
Pop, before it's too late, I think
there's something you ought to know.
Number two son resemble criminal
about to make confession.
I don't know whether I've
told you yet or not...
but I think you're the
swellest pop a fella ever had.
Humble parent thanks unsettled weather for
expression of love from favorite offspring.
Oh, but I mean it, Pop. Honest.
Then do not let fair skies
tomorrow change restless mind.
Oh, I won't. I'll get right on
the train and go back to school.
Appreciate decision. One scholar in

Sorry, Mr. Gregory. I don't
want my manuscript mixed up.

It'll cost you two dollars.
I go to a lending library.
- Friend?
- Pest.
Says he's an insurance actuary.
Had the bungalow next to mine at Waikiki.
And when he wasn't annoying me, he
was shooting little birds with a.22.
Strange for man who gambles on life

- Oh, can't anybody talk about anything but death?
- Don't worry, Jimmy. It'll soon be over.
- Radiogram for you, Mr. Essex.
- Thanks.
Oh, Pop, l-I feel silly.
Most usual.
Unhappy news sometimes

Scorpio? Um, October-
Tomorrow is first day of scorpion

You believe in astrology?
No.
No, this is something else.
Paul, could old friend help relieve distress?
No, thanks, Charlie.
I've gotta send a radio.
Well, I hope that isn't bad news.
- Hope what is not bad news?
- That radiogram he just got.
How did you know Mr. Essex receive message?
Oh, the steward brought it to me by mistake.
- Why, Pop,
he's a- - Please.
- This is the only way to travel.

- [Woman #2] What's that big tower out there?
- [Jimmy] The Chinese Pagoda.
- [Man] No, that's the Tower of the Sun.
- It is the Chinese Pagoda.
- The smaller one's the Tower of

Gee, Pop, I hope Mr. Essex
isn't missing any of this.
