Test Pilot Page #3

Why, ann!

Why, mother!

She's crazy. I broke

All records, too.

I entered high school a

Sophomore and came out a freshman.

Have you been a test pilot ever since?

No. I was in the army for a

While, but we didn't agree.

Had to get up

Too early?

No. Had to

Go to bed.

That must be

Your call.

Yeah, thanks. No wisecracks

Now. I beat you to it.

He's

A charming man.

Uh-huh.

Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah.

The oil pump let go. He's

Down ok on a farm near wichita.

Well, that's

The way it goes.

Yeah.

And bring along a whole new

Assembly and the center line.

Yeah. Wait.

I'll find out.

Oh, ann?

Who's ann?

Yes?

Will anyone in wichita with a cab

Know how to get here all right?

Oh, sure. Due west of wichita

On the main highway.

Everybody knows

The barton farm.

"ann" stuff?

Listen, have you got all

That dope now, or haven't you?

What time will you

Get in wichita?

I'll hop the first trip east.

The weather's cleared.

Wichita? Wait a minute.

Land way out in the sticks?

Hey, this isn't

The sticks, lad.

This is the prettiest farm I ever saw.

Wait'll you see it. The

Wheat sways in the field

Like a silken sea.

How's that?

Sounds like a blond.

Listen, don't fool around

There all afternoon.

Get that old pump out of there, will you,

So I can put the new one in right away?

Maybe we can pull

Out of there tonight.

Oh, sure. Sure. I'll

Work on it all afternoon.

Yeah, yeah.

Absolutely.

All afternoon.

Yeah. Ok. Good-bye.

All set. Have we

Got a car?

Yes. Why?

We got to go to wichita, haven't we?

Oh.

We got to meet the gunner, haven't we?

Oh. And he arrives

There when?

Around 5:

And in the meanwhile?

I'll entertain you

There.

Oh. I thought you

Had to work here.

Oh, no, no.

That's hard work.

We're wasting time.

Wichita is calling.
