(0.00 / 0 votes)DONNA:
And mine begins in a small town
called Silver Springs, Nevada.
My mother was an ex-show girl.
Emphasis on the "ex. "
There's my father.
He came by for the beer.
Whoa. Oh, my God.
Look at this.
Oh, my God!
Happy birthday, Donna
Whoa, whoa
I didn't get to blow out
my candles.
But I do remember my wish.
That I could get as far away
from Silver Springs
as possible.
Well, that didn't happen.
Come on, sweetie.
My mom, always optimistic,
was on her fourth
husband, Pete.
Come on, baby.
Come on.
RODNEY:
Ugh. What happened?
Rodney. His son.
No need for DNA testing
on that one.
I still had my mind
on a different life
beyond Silver Springs.
Then I met Tommy,
the high school quarterback.
Boy, was he a great kisser.
Together, I knew
we were going places.
He went as far as
assistant manager at Big Lots
and used his pull to get me a
job in the luggage department.
This is the best bag
money can buy. Bar none.
You've got the nylon twill
with DuPont protective coating.
This is the bag you use
when you fly?
Well...
on an airplane,
but if I ever get to go on one,
around like my own little dog.
My birthday came,
and I didn't have to make
the same old wish.
Tommy and I had found
our way out.
Hey. I caught you.
Donna. Hey.
I thought you didn't get off
till 8:
00.Oh.
Oh!
Now that you're here...
Let me have the card.
No, no.
It's silly.
It's actually kind of corny.
Hey, I brought that dress
that you like.
Want to watch me change?
-No, hey, Donna.
-Ah!
Don't read that.
Come on.
I like things that are corny.
You're breaking up with me?
In a birthday card?
Why?
Well, they don't make
breaking-up cards.
[ Gasps ]
I thought that...
We had plans.
[ Sighs, groans ]
Donna, don't take this
the wrong way.
I decided to take
somebody else to Tucson.
Somebody else?
Yeah.
Linda from Lawn Chairs.
Actually, it's Brenda
in Barbecues.
Look, Donna,
you're a great girl.
Really, you are.
But with this promotion
and transfer to Tucson,
I just need to
shake things up a bit.
Business is business.
Come on, Donna.
Face it.
You're a small-town girl.
You belong here.
ANNOUNCER:
We're backwith more "Pure Oxygen,"
talking to Sally Weston.
Can you tell our viewers
the moment you decided
to change your life?
I left my job at Big Lots
an alcoholic.
Just kidding.
[ Sighs ]
But then something happened.
There I was
I thought,
"What am I gonna do?"
For a second I was real scared.
Since I was a girl,
"You are nothing.
Nothing is what you deserve."
But that night
something clicked.
And I just knew
I was worth something.
From a little girl
in West Texas
to the world's most famous
flight attendant.
Author of "My Life in the Sky."
Can we get a shot of that?
Motivational speaker.
I'm curious.
Why'd you pick flying?
No matter how much I love
none of my dreams
were waiting down there.
They were waiting up there.
And frankly, people,
no matter who people
think you are,
you can be whatever you want.
But you got to start right now.
Right this second, in fact.
But how?
You should start
by buying my book.
I agree.
But you can't have my copy.
"My Life in the Sky."
We'll be right back
with more "Pure Oxygen."
I took Sally's advice.
