01x06 - Skydiver

Post by bunniefuu »

Here they come, ladies and gentlemen...

The snowbirds,

the world-famous
Canadian precision flying team.


Like their American
counterparts, the blue angels,


this ace Canadian team is noted...

For perfectly
coordinated formation flying...


...and Dutch rolls.

The royal Canadian air
force has a long and glorious history,


dating back to
those bitter world w*r I dogfights,


where the Canadian ace, Billy bishop,

took on the red baron,

Von richthofen, in the
skies over France.


We salute our
good neighbors to the north...


And we're delighted they
could be here to perform for us today.


Watch your head. How about a kiss?

Thank you. Bye. Bye-bye.

That's quite a bird, son.

Best there is. Amazing machine, sir.

I'd re-up right now if
I had a chance to fly a bird like this.

You're a lucky fella. Don't forget it.

I won't, sir. Thank you.

And coming in for
their final pass, ladies and gentlemen,


the snowbirds, the

world-famous Canadian
precision flying team.

Man, that's some flyin', huh, Frank?

They don't come better than those guys.

And how about that, folks?

Let's let the
snowbirds know we enjoyed the show, huh?

While we are
waiting for the next attraction,


we remind you
of our display of unique aircraft,

featuring the
famed blue thunder helicopter.


Now all of the aircraft
are located adjacent hangar number two.

Do you know
what that plane's doing here?

It's not on my schedule.

That cessna you see overhead,

ladies and gentlemen,
is not part of our regular schedule.


So we'd like to invite you at

this time to visit our
antique aircraft display.


Well, it looks
like an unannounced skydiver.


Who is that guy?

I don't know.
Nobody filed any jump permits.

Whoever he is,
he'd better open his chute soon.

Oh, man.

Come on, fella.

No! Oh, no! get the

emergency equipment ready.
And clear the area.


come on, fella.

Open it.

That sure looks like fun.

Huh.

What is that supposed to mean?

You, jumpin' out of an airplane?

What's so funny about that?

Man, it would take a
parachute the size of a circus tent...

To get you down in one piece.



hi. Hi.

I'm Gretchen terrell.
This must be blue thunder.

Yes, it is.
I'm Frank chaney, the pilot.

I've heard all
about this incredible helicopter.

oh, yes. Um...

Federal agents butowski,
Kelsey... ground support group.

Hi. I've heard
all about you two guys also,

long before there was a blue thunder.

You guys must be
the greatest football players ever.

Well, uh, thank you, ma'am.

We sure did enjoy your parachute

jumping. yeah,
that was unreal.

Hey, you should
try it sometime. You'd love it.

Oh, uh, maybe.

Well, he gets
a little weird with heights.

I am not! I'd enjoy it!

Well, Mr. chaney,
I'm a qualified instructor.

I'll give you guys lessons

if you'll give me a... a
ride in blue thunder.


There you are. You're
in very serious trouble, young lady.


You didn't file a
jump permit for that little stunt.

Oh, but of course I
did. Why, I have it with me right now.

You didn't file it with our office.

-
oh,

no, no.

There must be
some foul-up in the paperwork.

Look, why don't we sit down and

talk about this? I'm
sure we can work it out.

Well, you say you have it with you?

Mm-hmm. Don't go away.

I'll be back for that ride.

Uh...

Wow. She is gorgeous.

Gutsy too.

what do you think, Frank?

I think you boys are gonna
take skydiving lessons.

Do what? say what?

Boys, I've been to
jump school when I was in the rangers,

and it's an
opportunity you shouldn't miss.

It's a kick in the head.
And just to give you guys the chance,

I'm willing to take
miss terrell for a ride in blue thunder.

Skydiving?

Man, you
wouldn't jump out of an airplane.

I'd do it before you would.

That's a crock. I'd do it in a minute.

Oh, you would, would you?

-
yeah.

Yeah?
yeah.

I got 50 bucks
says I'll jump out of a plane

before you do.

you're
on.

Look at all this... whisper mode,

sensor section, turbo thrust.

It all sounds faintly naughty.

Yes, it does, doesn't it?

you
carry any g*ns? Big one.

A vulcan cannon. Take a look.

Very impressive.

I certainly hope so.
Fires 6,000 rounds a minute.

That should get the job done.

What about this, this night vision?

can you

really see
at night? Like owls.

- See that hangar on the monitor?
- Yes.

Wow. Seeing in the dark?

That opens up all kinds of

interesting possibilities.
Don't you think so?

I'm always ready for
opening up interesting possibilities.

Did you learn
anything? i

learned that it's one
very tough helicopter.

Well, we got some problems

then. no,
not at all.

I have it all figured out.

I know exactly what we can do.

Who-hoo!

Look at those pants. Must have taken...

A whole herd
of cows to get all that leather.


I like them.

I like them too. Real nice.

put him down, bubba.
morning, gentlemen. Morning, sir.

I'm sorry about the
last-minute nature of this assignment.

It was supposed to be top secret,

but apparently it's already
leaked to the press.

What's it all about, sir?

Well, it's, uh... it's kind
of a change of pace for the team, Frank.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, they're having a

reception tonight at
the zamoran embassy,

and blue thunder unit will

provide security.
security?


Yes. As you may know, the

zamoran government has invited U.S.
businesses...

To set up shop in their country.

First time
they've ever been welcome there.

Captain, zamora's
had a lot of internal problems...

A leftist revolution, military coup.

It's virtually a time b*mb, sir.

Well, that's right, but, see,

the new president
has brought that under control mostly.

Doesn't it seem like a

bit of overkill, sending
in blue thunder?

That just goes to show you just

how important this is to the U.S.
government.


So, chaney, you and

wonderlove will be
aloft in blue thunder.

Ski, you and bubba will

provide ground security
inside the embassy...

Dressed as guests.

Last time I saw that much fur,

I was at the zoo watching polar bears.

Just be cool,
man, and act like you belong.

I sure hope those dogs think we

belong. let's
go to work.

i can't.

Excuse him, please.

I feel like an
overstuffed penguin dressed like this.

Bubba, I won't
know how to act in there.

Come on, ski. Just key off of me.

When I do something, watch.

Then you do the same thing.

Oh, like which
fork to use for the salad, right?

You got it.
Sophistication is a state of mind.

When you feel
like you belong, you become...

Totally inconspicuous.

Unconspicuous?

You call that unconspicuous?

We're heading inside.
Check with you later.

Roger. Have fun, guys.

Those two guys sure
got the choice part of this assignment.

There are some
great-looking women down there.

We're a lot less
likely to get in trouble up here, kid.

i'm not so sure.

We've got
an incoming aircraft on radar.

Closing fast. Nine-zero degrees.

Jafo, I don't have him.

He must have his nav lights off.

Hit him with the night vision.

One mile and closing.
He's at our altitude, Frank.


This doesn't look
good. We better get out of his way.

He's changing course.
Tracking straight at us.

500 yards and clo... He's gonna hit us!

That seemed like a deliberate pass.

I just want to
find out what the hell is going on.

- - it's a cessna... 210.

"N" number is


Blue thunder
to cessna 2-2-niner-1-Romeo.


We're federal agents. Identify.

Niner-1-Romeo to blue thunder.

Electrical problems.
No instrument... no...

Niner-1-Romeo, you're breaking up.

If you can
receive, adjust heading to 2-6-5.

That's good, niner-1-Romeo.
Now just fly straight and level.


We will assist you to van nuys airport.

Niner-1-Romeo to blue thunder.

Can hear you. Will comply.

Jafo, get on the horn
and tell bubba and ski what's going on.



Roger, jafo. No problem.

We're in good shape down here.

So let us know
when you're back on station.



I can't believe
anybody'd make a sandwich this small.

That's caviar on toast point.

It's supposed to be
small. So act like you're enjoying it.

And don't cause any trouble.

Hey.

How come you don't have any

sandwiches around here that
are bigger than crumbs?

I could inhale something this size.

Would you like me to bring

you a loaf of bread
from the kitchen, sir?

I take back what I said

about sophistication
being a state of mind.

I guess you're
either born with it, or you're not.

Great party, huh?

This is cessna "n" 2-2-niner-1-r.

Roger. You should
have van nuys runway in sight, 1:00.

Thanks, guys.
Sorry I caused so much trouble.

Blue thunder. No problem. Breaking off.

Let's get right
back to that party... now.




Sounds like a
pre-renaissance pastoral fugue.

Quite lovely in its simplicity.

Yeah, if you dig the classical junk.

Personally, I
prefer to get down and boogie.

You know what I mean?

Hey, wait. Me too.

That's what I was tryin' to say.

Way to go, lover boy.

You're really teachin'
me a lot about class.

good
evening, ma'am. Hello. Thank you.

{\r}Blue thunder to the bub man.

We're back on station.
Lookin' straight down the chimney.

All clear down here.
We'll keep in touch.

I'm getting thirsty from
eating all these fish egg sandwiches.

I suppose one
glass of champagne wouldn't hurt.

Who said anything
about champagne? I want a light beer.

They don't serve
light beer at functions like this.

Look, bubba, I can
act just as sophisticated as you can.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you the
president of my beloved country.

Madame Eva parada.

My fellows zamorans,

mesdames et
messieurs du corps diplomatique,


and American friends,

I thank you
for this beautiful reception.


And I greet you
with joy and hope in my heart.

We are entering
a new era of cooperation...

Between zamora and the United States.

We have opened our borders.

And we are making our
rich resources available to all...


Of the worthy corporations
that are represented here tonight.

it is my hope...

Take cover! Take
cover! Stay away from the windows!

Attention, American industrialists.

The revolutionary forces of zamora

will not tolerate your
presence in our land...


A land that belongs to the people,

not to Eva
parada and her wealthy supporters.

Any representative of any corporation

who sets foot on our
soil will be k*lled.


We have demonstrated your

vulnerability in the
heart of your nation.

What do you think
your chances would be in zamora?

Congratulations, gentlemen.

Great evening's work.

The most sophisticated
surveillance team in the world,

and somebody walks right by you,

leaves this, and
blows up half the embassy yard.

{\an1\pos[520,432]}Why?

It was my fault,
captain. I got suckered by a decoy.

Come on, Frank. That

plane seemed like it
was in real trouble.

I don't suppose anybody

bothered to check the
registration numbers.

They were phony.
I checked them out last night.

And you... where the

hell were you two when
the sky fell down?

Didn't you see anything?

Well, we both think the

expl*sives were planted
before we got there.

The embassy staff checked

that place inch by inch
before you got there,

and everybody that went
through the front door was identified.

Now somebody got to
us real good, gentlemen, and hear me...

Hear good. It
better not happen the next time.

- Next time, captain?
- Yeah.

Even though they did
manage to recreate the fourth of July,


the rebel group didn't
seem to scare too many corporations.

In exactly four days, a group

of them are gonna sign
lease agreements...

With madame
parada, and, yes, wonderlove...

Yes, you guessed it.

We will be there.

Then we'll drive them
back into the sea. We gave our warning.


- They ignored it.
so let them come to zamora.

- Yeah! Yeah!

I'm sorry. I agree with Ricardo...

- Especially
after last night's fiasco.

- It wasn't a fiasco.


Then how come six major corporations...

Are signing
lease agreements with Eva parada?

Because the lesson
we gave them wasn't strong enough.

Look, my place is at my husband's side.

And you all know that I would

never tell you how to
run the revolution.

But I was born here,

and maybe there are some things

about this country that
are clearer to me.

What things, Gretchen?

Warnings don't
work with American capitalists.

They're like horses with blinders on.

All they see are
profit margins and dollar signs.

So unless we
take decisive action right now,

before they go to zamora,

then everything
we've done has been for nothing.

No more warnings, my friends.

We must k*ll Eva parada...

And every corporate
executive who comes to sign one of her leases.

They'll be
protected by that helicopter.

We drew it off once.
They won't be fooled again.

I know.

That's why we must k*ll them too.

The pilot, chaney,
and every member of his crew.

Aw! Don't they look cute?

Where are your sand buckets, boys?

Don't let him get to you, bubba.

'Cause we're gonna meet
more beautiful women in 15 minutes...

Than he's met in 15 months.

Let's go, boys.

Frank, telephone's for you. Line one.

Thanks, j.J. Uh,
fellas, I'll just be a second.

- Hello?
- Frank, hi. it's Gretchen terrell.

Did I catch you at a bad time?

No, not at all. As a matter

of fact, it's good
hearing from you again.

Listen, I didn't want you to

think I was the kind to
welsh on a deal. Uh...

I'm free this afternoon. I thought

you might like to bring
your friends out...

For a parachute jump instruction.

That's terrific! Well, hold on.

Fellas, how would you like

to start your jump
lessons this afternoon?

Uh, well... well, I
would, uh, but I'm goin' to the beach.

I was thinkin'
of goin' to the beach too.

Gretchen, they're thrilled.

They can't wait.
We'll be right there, okay?


I'll be here.

Now, isn't that terrific luck, fellas?

I mean, on
our afternoon off, she's free?

Yeah, that's, uh... that's terrific.

yeah,
real lucky. Come on. I'll drive you out.

Not so fast, chaney.

I want you and
wonderlove to take blue thunder,

go over to the
zamoran embassy, do some spadework.

I just got off the
phone with the people from apex.


They're very unhappy
about what happened the other night.

They don't want the
situation to recur, especially since...

Nobody can figure out how

the expl*sives got on
the embassy grounds.

What do they expect us to do, captain?

The f.B.I.'S been over the place

with microscopes, and
they've found nothing.

So take blue thunder over
there and scan the place from the air.


And, chaney,
don't come back till you found

something, huh?

yes,
sir.

What are these
two clowns dressed like that for?

Guys, I'm sorry. You're
gonna have to make your jump without me.

No, no. It wouldn't be
as much fun without you, Frank. Really.

no
fun at all, man.

Gentlemen, I will
take it as a personal insult...

If you don't
show up for this appointment.

There is a lady waiting. Understand?

Now you guys enjoy yourself.

You don't have to slam the door, man.

officers
butowski... how you doin'?

\-
hkelsey. Ma'am.

- Where's Frank?

- Oh, he was called in
for extra duty.

He said to tell you
that he hopes to see you another time.

Oh. Yeah, of course. Well, listen.

Why don't you guys go in and

get rigged up. I'll be
with you in a minute.

I brought some pads just to be safe.

Swell.

what's wrong?

where's
the pilot? He didn't come.

oh, that's wonderful.

that's just great!
Look, don't panic, Hector.

We can still get
chaney and k*ll madame presidente...

Before she has a chance
to sign any of those lease agreements.

and how do we do

that? Well, I'll keep
those two giants busy...

In ground school until you get back.

back
from where?

- - Move it, ski.
you've had a total.

Look, you've gotta
locate your emergency rip cord handle.

If you don't look
for it, you're not gonna find it.


Just like a gazelle.

This is a perfectly safe sport, ski.

You just have to
realize that there are inherent dangers.


One of which is, at 2,800
feet, if you suffer a total malfunction,

you have got to
activate your emergency rip cord.

'cause you have...

Only 18 seconds to ground impact.

This time...

you took 19.

Nineteen.

I don't know, Frank.

We covered every inch of these grounds.

I mean, I have sonar-scanned and

thermographed and just plain
eyeballed everything.

Nothing out of the ordinary?

\-
hnothing.

Except maybe that.

Buenos días, señorita.

Well, I hate to tear you away, kid,

but I think we've exhausted
our possibilities here.

I'm heading home.

Hasta luego.

Frank, I feel guilty.

I haven't been doing my

part in cementing
international relations.

What? i've

got to learn
spanish...


So I can ask
that lovely Latin lady for a date.


Too much. Hold it.

What is it?

I thought I saw something in that tree.

What does it look like to you?

It's a balloon.
Something attached to it.


- How far are
we from the embassy grounds?

- About two miles.

I'm gonna take it down.

Whatever it is, I want
to take a look at it.

Hands on the toggle.
Eyes on the horizon. Don't look down.

Feet and knees together.
Slight, slight bend in the knees.

Toes pointing
straight forward. All right?

Okay, watch.

okay,

bubba? you
try it.


Right.

I recognized it as soon as I opened it.

It's the same scarf Gretchen

terrell wore when she
jumped in the air show.

I don't understand.
What was it doing hanging from a tree?

Captain, she knew we were

riding shotgun over the
embassy that night.

The plane that was in trouble...

She was the one that set it up as

a decoy to lure us away,
then she parachuted in.

Stowed her gear in the
bag, sent it up in a helium balloon.

something must have happened

to burst the balloon.
Why, Frank? Why?

What has she got to do with

zamora? captain,
I don't know.

Bubba and ski are with her

right now. There's no
telling what she might do.

Listen, both of
you guys are doing great. Really.

You can make your first jump now.

- what?
- Well, sure.

All my students make their

first jump the same day
they take ground school.

After all, there's
only so much you can learn on the ground.


Sooner or later,
you, uh... you have to go... up.

Uh, s-sounds great to me.

Yeah. Me too.

This is captain braddock.
Get me the tower at markham airfield.

Are you sure people
make their first jumps this quick?

Oh, yes. Everybody.

And they land okay?

They do. But in your
case, it, uh, really doesn't matter.

Yes, we're trying to locate two men.

They're taking jump
school instruction from a Gretchen terrell.

Captain, we've got a radio

transmission from someone
asking for Frank.

- She says
they've got bubba and ski.

- Never mind.

Chaney here.


hello, Frank.

Sorry I missed you this afternoon.

Gretchen, what's
going on? How are bubba and ski doing?

They're right here with me.

About 5,000 feet
up and right over the San Gabriels.

Let me talk to them.

Hi, Frank. We're here, all right.

- Are you okay?
- Well, so far.

That's enough.

Take down these numbers, Frank.

118 degrees west
by 34 degrees, 30 minutes north.

Why are you giving me your location?

Because if you want your friends,

you're going to have
to come and get them.

Bring 'em back
safe, Frank. come on, jafo.

All set. It's on autopilot.

what are you gonna

do? We have an appointment to keep.

And we really can't do it from up here.

Hey, wait. You gonna leave us up here?

That is, at least
until the fuel runs out in this plane.


And that should be in about 10 minutes.

Good-bye, suckers.

I think we're in trouble.

You first.
why me?

Because this was your idea. You

were the one that wanted
to go to parachute school.

Only because you said I was scared.

So why don't you waltz right

through the door and
show me how it's done?

I can't.

Neither can I!

I almost lost you over that Ridge.

what
about the plane? Armed and ready to go.

Okay. We better get
there before blue thunder. Let's go.

Frank, can't we squeeze
a little more speed out of this thing?

I'm redlining now,
jafo. If I go any faster, I'll burn up.

I took flying lessons
once. Maybe I can land this thing.

How many flying lessons?

one...
When I was 15.

That might
qualify you for social security,

but it sure doesn't
qualify you to land this airplane.

We're running low on

fuel. We'll never make
it to an airstrip.

Then I guess we...

Then I guess we have to jump.

I guess we do.

Bubba to blue thunder.
If you read, blue thunder,


please communicate
on emergency frequency.


This is blue thunder. I read

you loud and clear. Give
me your exact location.


As close as I can figure,
about five miles south of hunter's pass.

Your friend
Gretchen just parachuted out...

- And left us with a beechcraft.
- Who's flying?

Nobody. It's on autopilot.

We're parachuting out.
There's nothing you can do.


Are you guys crazy?

You think she's
gonna leave you parachutes that work?


Forget it. Now listen to me.

Get on the radio to brannon airfield.

It's near
hunter's pass. [

[ bubba ] how
about you doin' it?


They got a guy
there that can do it better.


Frank, I believe you.
But I want to check those chutes first.


Jafo, get brannon airfield for me.

Well?

Unless you're
thinking about waxing your truck,

what's in here
ain't gonna do you too much good.

Turn around.

Oh, man!

Brannon airfield, this is Frank chaney.

Is Chuck Reilly there?



the flight instructor?
Flight instructor Reilly, yes.

Bubba, I still don't think
either one of us can land this thing...

with one
easy radio lesson. Man, I'm with you.

But you got any better ideas?

No, but... yeah, I do.

This is a jump plane.

There's got to be an
extra chute somewhere.

Jafo, get braddock on the

radio. Tell him to call
the zamoran embassy.

- I want that place evacuated now.
- Right.

There's nothing
up front. Check back there.

All right.

Ahh! It's locked.

Bingo! I hit pay dirt.

Terrific. Where's mine?

This is it!

One? One parachute?
What are we supposed to do, draw lots?

it's
for you, sir. Muchas gracias.

Ambassador Marquez speaking.

Ambassador
Marquez, this is captain braddock.

Listen carefully, please. We have

a possible emergency.
go ahead, please.

Now the rebel
group has kidnapped two of my men.

We think it was just a plan

to draw blue thunder
away from Los Angeles.


Now our pilot
just radioed in, and he believes...

Someone is going to
make a move on madame parada's life today.

Uh, madame parada is
upstairs. She's lying in her bedroom.

Sir, you must get her ready

to leave right now. I'm
sending a police escort.

As soon as it gets
there, I want her out of that house.

Sí, señor.

you take it. No!

I said take it!

No! I'd rather die than have

the captain think I took
the last parachute.

Ah, stop trying to be a hero, will you?

I'm not trying
to be a hero! The truth is,

even if you gave it to
me, I'd probably be too scared to jump.


I mean it, ski. There's
no way I can go out through that door.

Uh-oh. That's the end of the fuel.

This is it!

we
should have the embassy in

sight in six minutes. Let's
just hope we're in time.

you're not mad

at me, are you?
Nah, I'm not mad.

You're all set, ski...

I think.

You got anything you want to say?

Tell jafo that
beatle tape I borrowed is in my locker.

Listen, as long as
this is, well, you know, good-bye,

how about being
honest and admit to something?

- What?

- Who was the best tackler
that ever played in the NFL?

- I guess you were.
- Okay.

Who did the most
holding of anybody else in the NFL?

I don't know.

Lineman bubba Kelsey.

That's a lousy stinkin' lie!

Oh, I hope not.

'Cause I'm
tacklin', and you better hold!


pull the rip cord. Pull it.

Let go and give me some room!

Let go? You crazy, man?

Oh, dear lord.

I'll k*ll you for this. you

are killin' me! you're
gonna k*ll us both!

I never meant what I said

about you being the best
tackler in the NFL.

- Then who was?
- Lineman bubba Kelsey.


ha!
"Ha" yourself.

don't do that!

don't cover my eyes.

- - I've got the
embassy in radar range, Frank.

There's a
fast-moving aircraft approaching it.

I've got it visually
now. It's a fighter plane of some kind.

Yeah, a t-28
with a b*mb under each wing.




go, you guys! Get in
there! Get those people out of there!

all right,
folks... move it now, move it!

They're evacuating parada, Hector.

Come on, do something!

Hurry up now!

Swing back.
Madame parada's getting away.


We have to make another run.

What are you
waiting for, Hector? Hit them.

- Hit the target now.
- Here we go.

november 4-niner-3, this
is blue thunder. Do you copy? Do you copy?

What's he doing here?
This is impossible.

Obviously he figured out your plan.

He's a man
who learns from his mistakes.

Do you copy, niner-3?
Respond immediately.


Hello, Frank chaney.

I thought you'd be out

watching your friends
make their first jump.

Well, they were a little

nervous, Gretchen. They
didn't want an audience.

Get him!

Swing back.
Madame parada's getting away.


We have to make another run.

Radio that in, jafo.

- I'm heading for bubba and ski.
- Roger.

Oh, man! Quit shaking me!

I'm not shaking!
You're the one that's shaking!

Oh...

How's your grip?

The grip's cool.

Oh, man!

Bubba, there's trees!

Yeah, a lot of them. Slow down.

Get ready!

We landed! We made it!

that was a dirty trick.

What was?

You didn't tackle me.
you blindsided me.

And you would have been

called, as usual, for
unnecessary roughness.

I-i know, I know. But you gotta admit,

this is the most
fun we've had since we retired!

And to all of you, the

grateful thanks of the
zamoran government...

And my personal
undying gratitude as well.

Thank you very much.
We're all deeply honored.

And now,
gentlemen, please, enjoy yourselves.

thank you again.

Well, that's pretty snazzy there.

Yeah, well, congratulations,
gentlemen. You did a wonderful job.

Real nice. Captain, I think, uh...

I think most of the credit

should go to ski and bubba.
yeah?

It's a pretty risky thing they

did, leaving that airplane.
Ah, it wasn't nothing.

No, it was a lot easier than it looks.

You guys did real good.

Well, I guess under the

circumstances you decided
to call off your $50 bet.

Well, no. Actually, I won the bet.

I was the one
that jumped from the plane.

I know it probably seems

that way, but the truth
is, I won the bet.

I can't see how
you could possibly say that.

Our bet was over who was

the first one to jump
out of the airplane.

Yeah, that's right. That was me.

now wait, guys.

it's a party. Come on.
Come on, back off.

My body was
the first to exit the cabin.

- He has a point there, ski.
- Are you kidding me?

I tackled you out of the plane!

Because I'm taller,
my feet touched the ground first.

I think your
brain was damaged in the fall.

My brain is
in good enough shape, my man,

to let me know
you're trying to welsh on the bet.

I am not welshin'
on the bet. I won the bet!

never
mind see my temper. I won the bet.

You did not win the bet!
