The Last Flight of Noah's Ark Page #5

Synopsis: When Noah Dugan agrees to fly missionary Bernadette Lafleur and her cargo of animals to a remote island, its only because he is on the run from a couple of bookies. What neither of them know is that two of Miss Lafleur's young students have stowed away with the animals & Miss Lafleur's transistor radio has interfered with the plane's instruments and they're all now miles off course. After a forced landing on a remote island, Dugan, Bernadette, Bobby and Julie discover that they are not alone. Together with two Japanese soldiers who have been stranded on the island since WWII, they must turn the plane into a seaworthy boat if they are ever to make it home. When Bobby and Julie insist that they cannot leave the animals behind, the converted plane truly becomes a second Noah's Ark

- What is it doing over there?

- l don't know, l can't believe it.

lt's not supposed to come in off the wing.

lt's supposed to come off the tail.

Excuse me.

We're still on course.

- We've been flying the wrong course.

- What do you mean, the wrong course?

l mean the battery from this cassette player

has been interfering with the magnetic field

of the compass.

lt's been giving me a false reading.

How long was that hanging there?

l don't know, a long time.

Oh, great. We have a certain amount

of fuel to get us to your island.

We burnt that up flying in the wrong

direction for God knows how long.

- So what are you gonna do?

- What am l gonna do?

l'm gonna squeeze as much mileage

out of whatever fuel we have left.

- Turn back?

- No, we've gone too far.

(Dugan) Mayday. Mayday. Boeing B-29.

Zero November Niner. One Three

Two Niner. Mayday. Mayday.

Boeing B-29. Zero November Niner.

One Three Two Niner.

Do you read me? Can anyone read me?

Hello? Hello?

That's great. Even if l knew where we were

l couldn't tell anyone. Did you hear me?

Do you really think that'll do any good?

Do you think it can do any harm,

Mr. Dugan?

- Did you find any life jackets?

- Just one and that fell to pieces.

l'll kill Stoney.

(engines sloww)

- What's that? What's happening?

- We're running out of gas.

- Are we gonna crash, Mr. Dugan?

- Don't worry, Julie, we'll make it.

Why don't we just land?

Just where would you suggest

l land, Mr. Know-lt-All?

Over there on that island.

Kid, you got the eyes of an eagle.

We're gonna do it, Bernie.

We're dropping.

That happens when you've only got two

engines holding up a four-engine plane.

- Can we make it?

- lt gets a lot more difficult with no engine.

So you better start praying again, baby.

Kids, get into that engineer's seat.

Strap yourselves in and hold on.

OK.

Thanks, Bernie.

Get behind that wheel.

l may need some help.

- Oh, Mr. Dugan.

- Don't worry, kid.

(engines sloww)

There they go.

l'm gonna try and pancake her

into the beach from the water.

(Dugan) Hold on!

(animal noises)

Come on,

let's go see how the animals are.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Thank you, Mr. Dugan. You must be

the best pilot in the whole world.

Ah, out of the mouths of babes.

Well, l'm sorry l badmouthed you, old girl.

You did real good. Real good.

Hello.

(in Japanese) l don't believe it.

l just don't believe it.

You just sit here quietly, all right?

l'll get some bandages and a splint. You

might've sprained it. Gonna be all right.

l don't think it's serious.

Well, Mr. Dugan...

What does the situation look like?

Lonely.

l mean, what do you suggest we do?
