- What the hell are you doing?

- Shut up, do what I tell you.

Get the keys out of the door.

Quick. Come on.

You! Don't make a sound.

Don't make a sound, or I'll kill her.

Drop your gun and keys on the floor.

Quick!

Come on, come on, hurry it!

Get in that cell.

Hurry it. Hurry it.

Lock it.

Come on, come on.

Help! Escaped prisoner!

Help!

This is crazy, man.

You're gonna get us both killed.

You're never gonna get out of here,

you know.

Not by the front door, I won't.

The elevator.

We got escaped prisoners in the elevator.

They're on their way down.

Why don't you just

put that gun down?

I mean, you know,

you seem like a decent enough guy.

Maybe you're just having an off day.

Besides, you don't want to kill me. I'm

actually a very nice person. I really am.

I know we got off on the wrong foot

with me stealing your car,

but that was just a mistake.

By the way, did anyone ever tell you

you've got excellent taste in cars?

Don't you ever shut up?

Why don't you go screw yourself, mutant?

Why don't you watch your mouth?

Why don't you watch your a**hole,

a**hole?

What's the hell is the matter

with you guys up there?

You all asleep or what?

Can't even keep a guy in lockup?

What's going on?

It's your pal Murphy.

He's got a gun, he's got a hostage.

Sh*t.

They must've gotten off on another floor.

Let's go.

That's it, I quit! I'm tired of you

pushing me around, booger bits.

If you're gonna...

You can make this hard,

or you can make it easy.

Now which is it gonna be?

Okay.

- I don't hear you.

- Okay.

You were saying?

I said okay,

you snot-sucking garbage dump.

A helicopter? Are you crazy?

I was a crew chief on one of these

during the war.

What the hell does that mean?

It means I can fly one of these things,

a little.

Close that door.

When was the last time you flew

one of these things?

Oh, my God.

Hi, I need to see your clearance.

This is my clearance.

Back off. Back off.

Murphy!

Put it down and get out!

Come on! Drop it!

Hold your fire, damn it!

Oh, Murphy, you f***ing idiot.

I don't like heights.

I don't like planes.

I don't like flying.

And I especially don't like helicopters.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

On second thought, maybe not.

- Can we take that one up?

- Uh, it's got engine trouble.

Get a hold of the Coast Guard.

I want another chopper, like, yesterday.

Hey, Airwolf,

where the hell are we going?

Oh, my God, what is it?

Damn, we're out of fuel.

What do you mean, "we're out of fuel"?

We can't be out of fuel.

Oh, my God, we're out of fuel!

Oh, my God.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I... I don't want to die. I don't wanna...
