- Do you have anything on the 12:10?
- How many?
- One.
- Nothing on the 12:10, I'm afraid...
but I can put you on the Grand
Canyon Airways at 12:30...
- if you don't mind a local.
- Where's that to?
- Same place- Los Angeles.
- All right.
- Round trip?
- One way.
- Name?
- Uh, Collins.
Joseph H. Collins.
- Is it in yet?
- It's pulling in now.
- I want to make a phone call.
- On the other side of the newsstand.
Hello?
David, where are you?
I left a note there on the table...
but it occurred to me
you might-
might think I'd gone off
to do something foolish.
It's nothing like that.
It's just that I-
Well, I couldn't stand it
any longer.
I'll have to figure out another way
of living-without you. That's all.
Wh-Where are you, David?
Please.
Just tell the kids that I was
called away suddenly on a case.
I'll work out some other explanation
when I've had a chance to think things over.
Just don't let them know yet.
Where are you going?
I'll let you know when I get there.
Tell them it looked
like a rather long case.
Then they won't begin asking questions
until we've got our story set.
Will you do that?
Oh, Dave, darling, please.
Will you do it?
Of course.
But, David...
don't go away.
Please don't.
Why not? You don't think you'll be
lonely for long, do you?
Dave, Dave...
haven't you ever made
one mistake in your life?
It's no use, Janey.
I didn't call to argue the matter again...
particularly over a public phone.
Just look out for the kids.
That's all.
I'll let you hear from me
in a day or so.
Good night.
Attention, please.
Grand Canyon Airways Flight 1011...
- for Los Angeles will depart-
- Some trouble?
- Oh, no. Just in late, that's all.
- Is it the weather?
What's wrong with the weather?
How should I know what's wrong with
the weather? That's what I'm asking you.
You come in late, you go out late.
You think it's all right
to fly in all this rain?
I don't think the rain matters.
- Not even at night?
- I don't think so.
But how do they keep 'em
from bumping into each other?
I don't know exactly, but they
must have some way worked out.
know what they're doin'?
I'm sure they do. And if there's any danger,
I'm sure they wouldn't send us out.
I hope you're right.
This'll be my first time up.
I certainly wouldn't want it
to be my last.
One.
- I'll just have a cup of coffee.
- Oh.
- You mind?
- No, not at all.
- Can I take your coat?
- Thanks.
- May I have a cup of coffee?
- Yes.
Maybe some coffee
will make me feel better.
You're not really scared, are you?
- I'd be okay if I could only figure out one thing.
- What's that?
What holds it up there.
What do you care?
That's their business.
They can't blame you,
no matter what happens.
You mean they can't sue me
even if it falls?
They can't.
And I'm a lawyer too.
What am I worried about? Let's have
a wedge of pie with that coffee, huh?
Would you people mind if these
gentlemen sat at this table too?
No. Go ahead.
I beg your pardon.
Don't mind me, lady.
I'm just practicing. I'm an ex-wolf.
- Coffee for me, doll baby.
- The same for me, please.
You just come in on Flight 1011?
I'll say. Like we was
on a "rolly coaster. "
- What do you mean?
- The last 50 miles upside down.
- Is he kiddin'?
- It was a little bumpy.
A little bumpy?
Get this.
Just outside of Chicago,
we hit an air pocket.
We must've dropped a thousand feet.
Now, we're all strapped in,
see, but the hostess ain't.
Well, she hits the ceiling
with the top of her permanent.
