There are no refunds.

- What time is your flight?

- 12:
00. But I have to pack.

I'm gonna be a complete madwoman.

- Why don't you wait till I get back?

- I don't think so.

- Just tell me what this is about.

- I'd rather not on the phone.

I can fly down tonight in my Cessna,

be there by breakfast.

We'd have five hours.

You know this sh*t

better than anyone.

Fine. Fine.

I'll see you at 7:00.

Great. So,

they finally get to meet.

I'll be the tall guy.

I'm gonna be the one with "Spineless

Simp" tattooed to her forehead.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

Why do I do this?

Burbank Tower.

Cessna 739 Mike Bravo.

Intercepting approach course

I. L. S., runway eight.

Three-nine Mike Bravo,

we've lost radar contact.

Say your position and altitude.

Just passing the middle marker

at 1,300 feet.

Three-nine Mike Bravo,

that's a negative.

Verify your position

and check your instruments.

All normal, for crying out loud.

You must be able to see my lights.

That's a negative.

Execute a missed approach immediately.

Contact approach control on 124.5.

Okay, Burbank, but still

everything looks ok...

Sh*t!

God!

- Hi. Russ Melbourne, please.

- One moment, please.

- Mozart's Ghost!

- Russ Melbourne here.

- Hi. It's Angela.

I thought you'd be long gone.

No, I was getting ready to leave.

That's why I'm calling.

I'm glad you're still going,

but when you get back, we need to talk.

We're really desperately short

of your genius up here.

Oh, please. I'm far

from being a genius, Russ...

especially with a room full of people

looking over my shoulder.

- That's not the reason I called.

- Just think about it, will ya?

The honchos up here aren't

gonna let me replace Dale...

on such short notice, not with all the

security breaches we've had in the past.

Replace Dale. Okay.

What? You're kidding, right?

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

I thought you'd heard.

What? What happened?

Angela, Dale's dead. His plane

crashed last night outside L. A.

I just talked to him yesterday.

He was coming to see me.

Kind of puts things

in perspective, doesn't it?

Let's talk when you get back, huh?

And try to have a good vacation.

Okay. I'll talk to you soon, Russ.

Plenty of time. Ain't nothin' comin' in

or goin' out for the last hour.

Ladies and gentlemen,

your attention, please.

We are sorry to announce...

there is a computer malfunction,

and all flights have been temporarily...

- The whole airport is down.

- When we get further information...

we will advise you.

Thank you very much.

- We will let you all know.

- Excuse me.

I understand.

We're doing the best we can.

A blood test taken last week...
