we've upgraded you to first class.

And the ticket is free

both ways.

And that's supposed to make

up for losing my father?

We're also picking up

your hotel bill.Yes!

Well, i'll leave you

in your grief.

Will anybody else be needing

transportation to the cemetery?

No. I will be

the only one there.

Oh, how sad.

Good, 'cause

it's a funeral.

Right.

Okay. Bye-Bye.Bye.

Um, miss andrews?

I just wanted to thank you,

you know,

Not just for the plane and the car,

but for today with my father.

You were really

understanding.

Well, it was the least

i could do.

Well, good-Bye,

mr. Gordon.Bye.

Oh, it's in there somewhere.

There you go.Here.

All right. Bye.

This is my father.

He fought in the war here.

These were his buddies.

Amis.

Well, you're here.

I brought you here

like you wanted.

Thanks for not getting

killed so i could be born.

Okay.

That was very sweet.

What are you doing here?

Nobody should bury

their father alone.

- I'm mickey.

- Ellen.

Do you come here often?

You would've been more

comfortable in the limousine.

No, i'm much more

comfortable here.

So i take it you and your

father weren't very close. No.

He left

when i was ten.

But i'll never forget the

last thing he said to me:

"Get out of my way!"

You can't buy memories like that.

I suppose not.

Anyway, i'll have you to the

airport in an hour and a half.

The drive's a breeze.Oh! See, i would never

say something like that.

Like what?Like "it's a breeze."

I'm real superstitious and that's

like begging for disaster.

Like those old war movies, where after the

battle they're talking about going home,

And there's some guy

named brooklyn...

"When i get back home, i'm gonna see

my dodgers play in ebbets field.

Gonna get me a nice hot dog

and then i'm gonna..."

I mean, it always

happened, right?

If ever i get on a small plane and

there's a storm outside, i never say:

"Piece of cake.

We'll be there in an hour."

Never say famous last words

because they could be.

You're a disturbed person,

aren't you?

You have no idea.

According to mickey, he was really

working hard all the way back to paris.

You know those japanese

science fiction movies?

Big dinosaurs on the streets and those people

run out, they just wait to get stepped on.

They run out...

- Then they just wait.

- He's got the charm turned up to warp factor 7.

And she seems to like him,

but he's not sure.

Well, i just never knew that

about wilt chamberlain.

Well, they say it's true,

but, you know...well, i-I had a great time.

Thank you for everything.

We've gotta stop meeting like this.

Bye.

Au revoir.

Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Have a good flight.

Can i ask you
