There's no one out there.

This pig is lying.
He has no partner.

Then what would
he be doing with this?

Oh, regular detective
there. Score one for you, Sly.

I'm all for E.R.A., you know?

But if we start letting dames do our work
for us, somebody's liable to drop the hammer.

- I will look for myself.
- I do not need you
checking up on me.

Oh, look at this
for coordination.

You two yuks couldn't hijack an
ice-cream truck, let alone a moving train.

Is that so?

Well, our people are securing the Lancaster
switching yard at this very moment.

Clear Track 59
for Porterville 524.

Clearing Track 59
for Porterville 524.

Thanks, Jason.

All lines clear on 59 for 524.

Hey, did I tell you the
one about the psychiatrist...

- who tells his patient, "I
think you oughta be committed"?
- Twice.

Check the five-mile junction and
reroute all intersecting traffic to 95.

What big teeth you got, Grandma.

Too bad your eyes
aren't a little better.

A blind newsie would have
stumbled over my partner out there.

If he has a partner out there,
then he will get him to us,

or I will make it very
unpleasant for you.

Talk! Well, okay.

It's been such a howl so
far I hate to give it up. Okay.

Ralph, come on in. Just bring it
on in. We got what we wanted.

How many psychiatrists does it
take to change a lightbulb, huh?

Do you see something out there?

Tracks... and more
tracks and more tracks.

If you heard it, just
say you heard it.

I thought I saw those
darn kids out there again.

Where is this Ralph?

That was Ralph.

- Sorry.
- Don't apologize, kid!

Take 'em!

Hey!

Boo.

Ralph, get these
things off of me.

Bill, these are your government-issue
cuffs. They threw away the key!

- Okay.
- Ow!

No one move, or you're dead.

Okay. Porterville 524.

Red light it at the
Track 59 junction.

That train already
cleared that junction.

k*ll him.

All right, all right!

- The train will reach the
junction in about five minutes.
- Miraculous.

I thought this was just an ordinary
kidnapping. Who's the engineer, McGivers?

Yeah, McGivers. But
it's not just a kidnapping.

A bunch of these creeps are hitting
the switching yard in Lancaster right now.

They're hijacking a train.

Red light Porterville
524, Junction 59.

The train already had an engineer. Why
do you think they kidnapped McGivers?

Who knows? Maybe they're covering
all their bases with two engineers.

What? This was supposed
to be green-blocked...

between here and Bakersfield.

Let's shut it down.

What do you think, Cap?
Somebody grabbing a snooze...

up on the old
"switcheronie" or something?

Nah, not with this load we're hauling.
Nobody wants this dumped on their doorstep.

Get on to Central. You got it.

Yo, Central Hall,
this is 524 calling.

Everyone out of the
cab, or you're dead.

What are you
doing? Take it easy.

Don't do nothing.

Ralph, cover up!

Get up there, McGivers.

All right, back up.

Back up? I said to back up.

Okay, forward.

Maxwell, F.B.I. You
wanted some help?

Paramedics are supposed to be on
the way. What the hell is keeping them?

They just came in here, and they
shot Hank. What did they want?

Porterville 524. They made
me red block it at Junction 59.

How far is Junction 59? It's
only about eight or nine miles.

Ralph, they left
behind a half a sock.

Hey, what the hell?

They must have released some of the cars.
They're running backward along the track.

- That's an open lane now.
- It's not stopping.

Fifty-nine's on a 15-degree
grade. We got a runaway!

A runaway train. How
am I gonna stop that?

Follow the tracks and be
inventive. Go ahead, take off.

Whoa! Whoa! Give me
the... the coat. Come on.

Help me, Mr. Wizard.

Oh, no. 495's coming up
that line. They'll hit head on!

Did you see that?

Ralph?

Ralph?

Kid, you okay?

Ralph, say something.

Okay. All right,
you stay right here.

Don't worry about anything. It's
gonna be fine. Uh, just stay right here.

I'll go get your clothes.

Bill! Bill!

Hi, beautiful. How is he?

Uh, well, he's still
out of it, but, um...

Still out of it? Bill, it's three
hours! What are you doing up here?

I couldn't just sit home and wait. I figured
I'd spend the time worrying as I drove up.

You got here from L.A.
in an hour and a half?

Yeah, I almost had three accidents,
one with the highway patrol.

I got a ticket. I couldn't believe
it when you called, but I knew it.

I always knew something like this was
gonna happen. Will you please take it easy?

He's gonna be just fine.

Excuse me, girls. One more
please. I'll leave you another quarter.

Put the whole thing
on Mr. Hinkley's bill.

What's the matter with you? He
had the suit on. It does protect him.

Then what is he doing in here unconscious?
Why didn't it protect him this time?

It did. He didn't
have a mark on him.

He just must have,
uh, done one of his...

Well, you know, his,
uh, fishtail numbers,

and he, uh, hit the train.

You didn't say "train." I know
you didn't say "train." With his head.

He hit a train... with his head?

Well, it was a real
little train. Small.

It was, uh, three
cars, four at the most.

- Agent Maxwell.
- I told him it was
a car accident. Yeah, Doc?

He came to a short while ago.
Oh, thank God. I wanna see him.

He is a little groggy,
a little disoriented,

but that's normal
considering the circumstances.

Doesn't remember anything about the
car accident. Well, nobody saw it coming.

Try not to exhaust him. We've still
got to do a thorough checkup on him.

Otherwise, he
seems to be just fine.

There, you see? What'd
I tell you? No problem.

Hi, Pam. Oh, Ralph,
you had me so worried.

Yeah. Oh, boy. Would you look at
this world-class train-catcher here.

What'd I tell you?
He's in great shape.

A little bonk on the beezer.
That's all. Right, Ralph?

Excuse me. Do I know you?

Ralph.

Circumscribed amnesia.
Now what does that mean?

It refers to his having
a partial memory,

like knowing you for
instance, Miss Davidson.

When I questioned him, he remembered
his name, address, occupation.

Oh, he, uh... he did remember
Mr. Maxwell eventually.

Well, there, you see? Of
course he remembers me.

Just have to unscramble
his eggs a little bit, that's all.

Asked to see me first, huh? No.

He seemed quite hostile
when he remembered you.

Something about you having drawn
a g*n on one of the kids in his class,

a Tony Villicana, in some
roadside diner in the desert.

Bill, that was over
eight months ago.

That's the day you first met, the day
you two saw the... Uh, that was a joke.

That was just a little joke
that I played on on him...

and his class a long time ago.

Well, since there's been no
physical damage to his cranium,

it would seem the best thing to do would be
to get him back into a familiar environment.

Ease him back
into his daily routine.

That's what'll slowly revive
the repressed memories.

Oh, I don't know.
Maybe another day.

No, Doc's right. A horse throws you,
you gotta get right back up on him.

You and him wind him up, we point him
in the right direction, and hit the switch.

He'll be walking into walls for a
couple of days, but that's good for him.

Stir up the old
sawdust in the attic.

Little tender loving care, Bill? Dr. Gardner
said we have got to ease him back.

In most cases this
limited amnesia...

can be traced back to something
quite traumatic in the victim's life.

Figure out the incident that caused
a great emotional stress in his life,

and that's where Mr. Hinkley
would have dropped the curtain.

Well, then it could
be psychological.

Ralph may have wanted to block
out the past eight months of his life.

Have him check in with his
doctor as soon as possible,

and feel free to have him call
me about my examination results.

We'll do that, Doctor. Thanks a whole
lot. That is absolute wet-nose drivel.

There's nothing psychological about kissing
a freight train doing 40 miles an hour.

Let's go take our magic
baby home. Bill, wait.

What? Think about
what the doctor said.

Ralph has been through severe emotional
stress, something he is trying to forget.

If you ask me, it's a bunch of
banana benders he calls a class.

I mean, they're enough to make
their own mothers draw a blank. No.

I guess it could be a lot of stuff. I didn't
even know Ralph past eight months ago.

Bill, what has been the most traumatic
experience Ralph has been through?

Well, it... it hasn't been
knowing me. I mean, come on.

We get along like
two peas in a pod.

It's just Ralph has forgotten which pod
right now. Okay, it wasn't meeting you.

It was the experience in
the desert with the ship.

No. No, no.

Uh-uh. Nah, that's the most ridiculous
scenario I ever heard of. Come on.

Bill, it makes perfectly
good sense as scenarios go.

I mean, you've gotta admit.
Seeing that spaceship...

was a severe traumatic
experience for Ralph... for you.

It was for me. I still
haven't gotten over it.

Oh, a couple of little green
guys in an intergalactic Chevy.

It was nothing to it at all. Now,
come on. Forget all this stuff.

Now, come on. Let's go get the
kid. No, Bill, you wait a minute.

What now? The doctor said if
he only has that one memory,

well, it's not a very good one.

I don't wanna upset
him. Now you wait.

Hey, good looking. Doc
says I can get out of this place.

Ralph, are you sure you're
up to this? Are you kidding?

I hate the hospital.
How about that?

I remembered I hate the
hospital. You know, it's funny.

Until the doc told me I had
amnesia, I didn't know it.

I mean, there's nothing I don't
remember, except things I don't remember.

And I don't know if I don't
remember, so how would I know?

Does that make any
sense? I don't know.

I don't remember anything about that car
accident or what I was doing in Lancaster.

Do you know what I was doing
in Lancaster? Oh, not exactly.

Why don't we talk about that on the way home.
It's a long ride and you must be exhausted.

I tell you one guy I'll never forget.
Remember that fed... Maxwell?

Hiya, kid. How's
the old nose cone?

You stay away from
me, buddy, all right?

Pam, did I ever tell
you what this guy did?

- He pulled a g*n
on Tony Villicana.
- Okay, now don't get upset.

- Wait a minute. I remember something.
- Yeah, what?

Remember when the van got stuck in the
desert and I was walking along the highway?

This guy tried to run me
down. Can you believe that?

- That's probably what
I'm doing in this place!
- Ralph, I didn't run you over.

- Ralph, believe me,
that was a long time ago.
- It was a long time ago!

Today, what happened was you...
you had a head-on with a freight train.

Bill! A train?

The doctor told me I
was in a car accident.

Well, I couldn't exactly tell the
doctor that you had been flying.

Let's not push it. I must have been
flying if I couldn't stop for a railroad.

What happened to the
car? There wasn't any car!

Totaled, huh? Okay, that's
enough. It's a long ride, g*ng.

Then why doesn't Ralph ride
with me. We have a lot to talk about.

As far as I'm concerned, you and I
have nothing to talk about, all right?

I'm gonna go check out and take
this thing off. I'll wait for you outside.

It's getting a little thick
in here, don't you think?

Give it a little time.

We got a hijacked
train out there.

Look. I understand the importance of
what you and Ralph have been doing.

And I know there are times
when sacrifices have to be made.

There have been times
when I've been the sacrifice.

But I'm not willing to sacrifice
Ralph, not for anything.

Okay. Ralph's important
to me too. Don't forget it.

Then let's do this my way.

We're only talking about a train. What
could be so important about a train?

He refuses. I didn't
say I wouldn't. I said...

The deadman's throttle...
You can't override it?

You're just not reading me. There
is no more deadman's throttle.

There were too many hijackings and
people were finding a way to override them.

Then what keeps the train from
being a runaway if the engineer dies?

- Answer.
- It's a current...

A current that runs
from the floor plate...

to the cab through the
engineer up to the dash.

Oh, it's real small,
maybe a volt.

But if that current is broken,
the brakes will come on,

and there's no way to stop 'em.

Not unless you guys have got
somebody to ride that sucker.

See who wishes
to be glorified...

and ride in the locomotive
with Mr. McGivers.

Me?

I ain't driving three tanks of
nuclear waste into no overcrowded...

Silence. I will ride with him.

Yours, Mohammed, will be a
name our people will long remember.

Do you remember it?

Make a right, right up here.

You're better at directions
since you lost your memory.

You know, I just...
I can't accept it.

I mean, I remember the street I
live on. I can picture my house.

I can picture my bedroom.
I know I like spaghetti.

I know I like you.

Then I can't remember waking up
this morning. Or rather, I do remember it.

But you tell me that I'm describing a
morning that took place eight months ago.

It's very bizarre. Very bizarre.

It's like a movie with the
third reel missing, you know?

It's gonna be
disorienting at first.

You'll remember certain
things and not others.

We'll find that out
as we go along.

You know what I can't
get through my head.

Me and Maxwell... friends?

It's hard to imagine.

I mean, I think... Well, I
thought the guy was a real jerk.

I can't believe I'm the one saying this
to you, Ralph, but he's not a bad guy.

Not once you get past the
bluster and everything else.

As a matter of fact, the two of
you have been close for some time.

Close what?

Oh, here it is, right up here.

You don't suppose I paid
off the mortgage, do you?

Sorry.

Boy, it's really good
to see you guys.

How did you come,
by the Panama Canal?

Doesn't this guy
ever ease up? Ralph.

Boy, oh, boy.

Sir? What's the matter?

Mr. Maxwell? What's wrong?

Pam tells me, despite
how incredible it sounds,

that you and I have indeed known
each other for quite some time,

and I should be tolerant
of you and give you a listen,

despite my better judgment.

Oh, I see you brought him
around a little bit, counselor.

Good going there. Thanks, Bill.

You know how little gold stars from
you always give me that added incentive.

Can we go inside now, please? Or have you
also forgotten how to unlock the front door?

- Oh, hey!
- Come on, Ralph.

Patience, Ralph. Patience.

I know this guy?
What's going on here?

Honey, just listen to
what he has to say.

Uh, have we ever
seen these little people?

No, we've never seen them,
but we know they're up there.

- I mean, you don't need to see
a germ to know you're sick.
- Sick.

Well, that's really a
wonderful story, Mr. Maxwell.

Now, why don't you leave, and I'll get
some sleep, and we can talk another time.

You wanna get some sleep. Ralph, we
got giant, economy-size problems here.

We've got a missing train! Yes,
that's the train that I flew into, right?

Yeah, that's it. He
doesn't believe you.

He's gonna believe me. Why
shouldn't I believe him, Pam?

We gotta humor this guy. He's obviously
highly volatile and he carries a g*n.

Okay, okay. I think we've had
enough of this particular exercise.

No, we haven't. We're in big trouble
here. You've gotta put the jammies on.

Now wait a minute, you! I was
very nice, extremely patient.

I listened to your
entire fairy tale.

Why don't you take your little red
stretchies, and get out of my house?

- Have you lost
your marbles altogether?
- Oh, good, Bill, good.

- You have some real problems.
- I sure do!

- Bill, please.
- You have some real
psychological problems, buddy.

Why don't you try and check into a
hospital somewhere and take care of it.

Too bad you didn't hit the train a little
harder. Might have knocked some sense into you.

And if I could fly, I wouldn't
be doing headers with trains!

Yeah, it's Maxwell. Give
me 12th floor, Records.

Boy, I don't know how they let
guys like Maxwell out on the street.

Do you know that guy actually
believes what he's telling me? He does?

Yeah.

You know a guy like that
can pass a lie detector test.

Frightening.
Absolutely frightening.

- I'll be inside. If you need
anything, just yell, okay?
- Come here.

Sit down, please.

Ralph, you should be resting.

Yeah, I know,
but, uh, I miss you.

And I figure I got eight
months to make up for it.

You know, I'm so glad
you're okay. Are you?

Thanks. So am I.

It's just that there's so much to
remember now that I'm trying to remember.

Such as? Such
as, I vaguely recall...

discussing something
about marriage with you.

And, uh, I was wondering
if we set a date. A date?

I mean, have we made any plans?
I mean, it has been eight months.

Well, Ralph, we've
talked about it.

Look. It's been a long day,
and we're both worn out,

and you've hit your
head pretty bad.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Oh, oh! Are we... Are we
broken up or something...

No. No, Ralph. No.

Did I do something wrong?
Have I been arrested for flashing?

Don't be ridiculous. Do
you want to marry me?

Of course I do, Ralph.

But we have a lot to discuss,
and this just isn't the time.

Now you lay down and rest.

is turning upside down ♪

Checkpoint three
secure. Two more to go.

Okay. Let's put it in the van.

Get up there, McGivers.

Okay, pull it out.

Okay, that's it. Come out of chute number
three. Up and at 'em, counselor. Where is he?

Pam?

What's going on in there?

- Oh, boy, oh, boy.
- Missing train this morning? The one you couldn't remember?

Trains. More trains.
Yeah, the same one.

It was filled with
nuclear waste. Got it?

Nuclear waste.

That stuff is now in the hands of a
bunch of t*rrorists. That's horrible.

Then will you please, counselor, give
me a hand with Forgetful Freddie here?

Come on. Uh, okay, Ralph.

I guess this is the hardest
case I've ever had to plead,

but considering the
circumstances, I have no choice.

What circumstances,
huh? Listen to me, Ralph.

- What circumstances?
- Sit down. That suit
Bill showed you is yours.

What?

Yes, and it was given
to you just as he told you,

by an alien spaceship while the
two of you were stranded in the desert.

I know it's hard to believe. It was hard
for me when I first heard it, but it's true.

Are you trying to tell me that you
actually saw this, uh, spaceship?

Well, yes.

And I'm telling you, Ralph, when you
put the suit on you have special powers.

And if there are a bunch of maniacs
with a trainload of nuclear waste,

you've gotta do
something about it.

There's a reason that you were given the
suit, even if you don't wanna remember it.

There was a reason.
Bill's right, Ralph.

You were chosen because you
care. And you do, you care a lot.

I care about you, Pam, but
you're scaring the hell out of me.

I know. I know, Ralph. I know
you, and I know the way you are.

If there is a chance, deep in your mind...
the slimmest chance that that suit works,

and you don't try it on, and something
does happen with this nuclear waste,

you could never
live with yourself.

All right. All right.

I'll... put it on.

Okay, that's better.
Now, where is it?

Where'd you put it? It's
in the... trash can outside.

- It's where?
- I put it in the trash.

Boy, I hate this.

Uh, wait a minute.
Uh, it's gone.

I saw it go myself. What?

The garbage truck!

Anything? Yeah, I
think I'm getting a rash.

That's from that grape
juice you were fooling with.

I hate this, Ralph. This really
stinks! That's why they call it garbage.

Who cares about a couple
of zillion flies? It's not here.

- Did you find what
you's looking for?
- No.

You got anything else?
Preferably in a different odor.

You been through all six
piles. And a good pair of boots.

Not everybody's
back off their route yet.

You wanna leave a description
of this thing you're looking for?

Maybe one of the guys will
spot it. If it's all that valuable...

Well, it's more of, you know,
sentimental value like that.

Wait a second. That's the guy
that works my block right there.

Skip? Come on.
Let's take a look.

I love that. He remembers his garbageman
but not his best pal. That's terrific.

Wait a minute. That's it!
There! That's it! Hold it, Skip!

Hold it! After you.

Okay. We got it, Ralph.

That's it.

The whole thing. What's the
matter? It smells like onion dip.

- Let's get out of here.
- Thank you. Right.

Thanks a lot, pal, for your help.
Maybe we should rethink this.

Oh, yeah, this is perfect.
Okay, let's hustle it.

I'm not getting out
of this car. Ralph.

I'm not. You are.

I'm not. Pam?

Ralph, there's no one around.
And you already have the suit on.

Besides, what happened to
the old Hinkley sense of humor...

and adventure that I fell in
love with? I lost it in the blackout.

I'm just afraid Allen Funt's gonna
jump out of one of these bushes...

and scream, "Smile.
You're on Candid Camera."

Don't worry. He won't.
That's what I'm afraid of.

Then I'll have no explanation
why all this is happening to me.

Okay, back to the old basics. Now,
I'm gonna show you how the suit works.

Hey! Watch it, watch it! I told
you this guy was gonna snap.

Ralph, what's the matter with you?
I'm just gonna sh**t you, that's all.

Come on. Drop
the g*n, all right?

Drop the g*n, Bill.

Okay, here we are. It's on the
ground, right there. See there?

All right, now kick it away.

I don't believe this.

- Kick the g*n, Bill.
- Go on, kick it away.

Okay, now why don't we
start with something simple.

Like lifting the car. That's what
convinced me. Lifting the car?

That is real kindergarten stuff.
We got a long way to go here.

Bill, we have got
to take this slow.

Okay. Ralph, put your hand
under that bumper right there...

and lift it up. Right like this.

Sure, go ahead. There you go,
right there. Now, just lift. Right.

Hey! Whoo, gee! What did you drop it
for? I can't stand another trashed car!

Did you see that?
I lifted this car up.

This car must weigh 3,000
pounds, and I lifted it up. Watch.

I'm lifting this car. It
must weigh 3,000 pounds!

This suit really does work, doesn't
it? It really works. He wasn't lying.

You're not really
crazy, are you, Bill?

Thanks a whole bunch. Wanna
try the g*n now? No, pass.

I'm not that convinced. All
right, then let's go for the flying.

I don't know. He really never had that
down too well. That's how he got hurt.

That was because of the train.

Now do you see any trains
around here? Come on.

One, two, three.
Upsy daisy. Go ahead.

Just, uh...

Well... Here you go.

h*! Oh, man.

Was that some kind of a joke? Was that some
kind of a joke? No, you did it wrong, kid.

You gotta take three
running steps first.

Well, you didn't say that. Well, I
said one, two, three. Well, I forgot.

You forgot? I'm the
one with amnesia.

What, are you trying to
put me in traction here?

Well, we can't give up now,
folks. I'll tell you what we'll do.

Here. Put this on.

Why? My ears aren't cold. It
belonged to one of the t*rrorists.

If you put it on, uh,
you can see him.

You get holographs from the
vibes people leave on their clothing.

Holographs? Uh-huh. Pictures.

Pictures. Okay,
now, how do you feel?

Stupid.

Ralph, you're not concentrating.
You're not trying to work here.

Boy, I...

Wait a minute. I'm...
I'm getting something.

There's a couple of guys with
g*ns at an abandoned railroad siding!

Where? The Stovington Siding.

Stovington. Stovington. That's
about 20 miles outside of Lancaster.

They probably pulled off at an old
train siding they picked before the caper.

Let's go! I see it!

I see the train! Come on, Ralph.

I hope you saw it in time.
Ralph, come on. Get in the car.

Did you see it? Uh-huh...
No. I didn't see it.

I saw it. It was
right in that window.

Okay, now, let's drop the
hammer on these c*ck.

Here's the scenario.

I had enough of you and your
scenarios on the way up here.

I got the suit. I
know what to do.

You don't know what to do because
you lost the book of instructions.

You probably forgot about that,
didn't you? Sounds like old times.

We went through
this a thousand times,

and we came to a unanimous
decision, I run all operational procedures.

Well, since I must have forgotten
that little gem of information,

we'll start from scratch
and do things my way.

You follow my
lead. Nice try, Bill.

Now, listen. Anything
funny happens in there,

you take the car,
turn it around and get.

Even without his
memory, he's still the same.

Now, you stay by the car.

You bring it up when I tell you.

How's that? Terrific!
Kid, it's fantastic!

Yeah? Who needs
instructions, huh?

I wish you hadn't got quite so carried
away. Well, I couldn't help myself.

The train isn't here, Bill. Yeah, did
you have to be so rough on them?

We're not gonna get any answers about
where it went either. How do you like that?

A minute ago I was terrific. I tell you.
You can't turn a train up a dirt road.

Yeah, but there's a million and one tracks
coming into this about a half mile from here.

Oh, yeah, right.
You getting anything?

The train's headed up into the mountains,
moving at a pretty good clip too.

Counselor, bring it on
in, on the double please.

On the double, sir.

Mountains. Mountains.
That's the San Cristos.

That's about five miles from
here. On the other side is Bakers...

Bakersfield? They're gonna
run that sucker right into a city!

How are we gonna catch a train? They
only got a few miles head start on us,

and they never travel
more than 50 miles an hour.

That is when the engineer
is checking speed limits.

Well, they're carrying
an unstable load.

They're not gonna take a chance
on derailing before they get in the city.

There it is.

They have to slow down going through that
tunnel. We can catch them on the other side.

Okay. We beat 'em. Now, kid,
get out there and stop that train.

Oh, not again. How do I do it?

Just follow your instincts, the
same way you did back at the siding.

Keep your chin down, and
protect the old attic. Go ahead.

Three steps, huh? That's it.

Whoa!

Bill, he's gonna get hurt. Are
you kidding? Did you see him?

Gee, I hope he doesn't wreck it.

The train? Yeah.

Oh.

Ralph! Come on, kid. Get in.

This is Bakersfield Central.

We just had a run
on a red block on 82.

Will the engine on 82
West please identify?

It just ran the red block at Simmon's
Junction. Do you think we got a runaway?

I don't know what we
have, but we gotta stop it.

In two minutes that thing's gonna
be up our noses. Sidetrack it to 20.

It could derail. Just do it!

It's jammed. I'll get
on to the military.

Who's got time? In a minute
and a half, that engine will be here!

I want the yard cleared!

Here she comes!

Ralph? You did it! No
kidding. You really did it!

I don't know why you
always doubt me, Bill.

Every time it's the same thing...
you never think I'm gonna pull through.

Always? You mean you
remember all the other times?

All of 'em?

Yeah, I do. I remember
everything! All right!

Okay, welcome home, kid.

Welcome back.
Hey. All right, partner.
