01:00The central Pacific base of the military air transport service.
01:04Where nightly flights for naval personnel and their dependents leave for the mainland.
01:10What the hell? Do you need any help, Flora?
01:21Oh, I'm going to have them with me all the way to San Francisco and back.
01:24I might as well get used to managing myself.
01:26Give me your hand, Jody.
01:27No, no, give me your hand.
01:28Thanks, just the same.
01:2911 minutes, Mr. Hollis.
01:30Is the captain aboard?
01:31No, sir.
01:32I believe he's making a phone call.

01:58Dave, how's everything?
01:59Okay.
02:00I just had a look at the passenger manifest.
02:01Well?
02:02Hank Bourne is listed.
02:03Bourne, huh?
02:04First time we take this flight out,
02:05he has to be aboard.
02:06Well, he's going on leave, Dave,
02:07and needs all the relaxation he can get
02:08after what happened to him.
02:09Yeah, I know all that, but...
02:10It's a little uncomfortable for you and me.
02:11It'll just have to be a little uncomfortable,
02:12that's all.
02:13Now, you don't really think that, will you?
02:14What?
02:15Then I'm worried about you and me.
02:16No.
02:17It's him.
02:18He's a grounded pilot.
02:19There's you and me.
02:20I don't know.
02:21You don't really think that, will you?
02:22What?
02:23Then I'm worried about you and me.
02:24No.
02:25It's him.
02:26He's a grounded pilot.
02:27There's you and me.
02:28I'm worried about you and me.
02:29How do you think he's going to feel up there,
02:30being a passenger with us in the cockpit?
02:31I don't know.
02:32Why, what's it going to be like for him?
02:33I don't know, Dave.
02:34I don't know what it's like for a guy
02:35after the sky falls in.
02:36It's time we shut off.
02:37All passengers to the board, Jones?
02:38No, sir.
02:39Commander Bourne is late.
02:40Thank you, maybe Weante.
02:41He's going to feel sad.
02:43Did not have a Jong-un had,
02:45Yes.
02:47There's a � Hank, Oda,
02:48or aлет沿,
02:49Oh, et toename.
02:52Is there any passengers to the board?
03:01I don't know.
03:03Here is the passengers to the board.
03:05Now, come on.
03:07We take off on schedule.
03:09Yes, sir.
03:10Mr. Hastings.
03:12Sir, you don't want to take off without him, do you?
03:15I don't want to, Jones.
03:17Commander Bourne never believed in holding up a flight for anybody.
03:21Yes, sir.
03:37I'm glad to have you aboard, Commander.
03:43Thank you, Jones. How's everything?
03:45Oh, no, it couldn't be better, sir.
03:54If he isn't here on time, I think it'll be his way of saying he'd rather miss the flight.
03:57I see what you mean.
04:03Commander Bourne?
04:04Well, how do you do?
04:06My name is Flora Stout.
04:08Flora? Oh, you're Joe's wife.
04:10Yes, he's told me so much about you.
04:13I can tell you a lot about him. He's my favorite radio man.
04:16Made over a hundred flights with him.
04:17Yes, I know.
04:18Married to a pretty swell guy.
04:20Hi there, mister.
04:22This little Joe?
04:23Yes, and this is Sisti.
04:25Hello, Sisti. Nice to meet you.
04:27Commander, Joe's told me about your eye.
04:31I hope everything works out fine.
04:34Thank you very much.
04:36You going to meet Joe?
04:37Yes, he's in San Francisco.
04:39You're giving my best.
04:45It's not taken.
04:46Thanks.
04:47Thought maybe you were saving it for somebody.
04:49Excuse me.
04:50Excuse me.
04:55Bourne's the name.
04:57Chris and Henry.
04:58Hank, for short.
05:01Mackenzie's mine.
05:09Mackenzie.
05:10Lois Mackenzie.
05:11U.S.O.
05:22I...
05:23Well, this sounds corny, but it's no gag.
05:25I think I've met you before.
05:27Very possibly.
05:28I've been in any number of places.
05:30You weren't in Korea, were you?
05:32Who says I wasn't?
05:33Oh, yes, yes.
05:35You, uh...
05:36You were entertaining one night at a base hospital.
05:39I, uh...
05:40I can't remember which one.
05:42Well, it really doesn't make any difference.
05:43I entertained at all of them.
05:46Well, who do you know?
05:48It's a small world.
05:49People are always saying that.
05:51But it is a small world, you know.
05:53A small, wonderful world.
05:54Where anything can happen, anytime.
05:57I believe that, don't you?
06:00I used to before I realized that a man's luck can run out.
06:05That...
06:06A lot of things can never happen again.
06:09Such as?
06:11Oh...
06:12Things.
06:13Like what?
06:15Like...
06:24Like taking off.
06:46I just saw Hank.
06:47I wanted to say the right words, but all I could think of was...
06:50How are you?
06:52Probably just as well.
06:55Well...
06:56He's deep in it.
06:58You know, if a man doesn't adjust to a thing like this, he's got trouble.
07:03Sure.
07:04Trouble one way or another.
07:05Still...
07:06Now, we may not know it, but most of the time everybody's on pretty thin ice.
07:17You're a very tactful person.
07:19Am I?
07:21You have to mention my eye.
07:24You want to tell me about it?
07:26Yeah, it's a...
07:27Torn retina.
07:29Oh.
07:30How did it happen?
07:32From out of nowhere.
07:33Right out of left field.
07:35I was checking a motor with a mechanic.
07:37Yes.
07:38Well, he was holding an oil stick in one hand and I turned around suddenly and caught the tip of it right there.
07:48After all the tight spots that I've been in to have it happen like that.
07:52Goof accident.
07:53The whole world comes to an end.
07:55Everybody's very sorry, but I'm grounded.
07:58Well, they can operate on the retina, can't they?
08:01Oh, they already have.
08:02When?
08:03Well, I go back to the hospital in about six weeks and they'll check it.
08:07Well, how do you know it isn't all right?
08:11The odds are ten to one against me.
08:14Or one to ten for you.
08:17Can't you look at it that way?
08:19Look, Miss Mackenzie, I don't mean to be rude, but there's one type of person I can't stand right at this point and that's someone who tries to cheer me up.
08:27Well, I'll be equally as honest.
08:29There's one type of person that I just can't stand either.
08:33Someone who feels sorry for himself.
08:39Cigarette?
08:41Nice.
08:43Match.
08:57Well, shall I take over?
09:09No, I'm all right.
09:11Well, let me know when.
09:12Right.
09:27I've got it.
09:32Feather number one. Secure the engine.
09:45Number one engine secured, sir.
09:58We're holding altitude, but our airspeed's dropping.
10:01Take over, Dave.
10:02Got it.
10:05Well, this could be trouble.
10:07Radio from pilot.
10:09Notify McClellan that we've lost number one engine.
10:12Send opposition and request that Coast Guard search and rescue be alerted.
10:16Also request location of any ships in the area.
10:19Ships?
10:21Yeah.
10:24Think we'll have to ditch?
10:25I don't know.
10:26But we want all the help we can get just in case.
10:32Navigator from pilot.
10:33Make sure Jones is making ditching preparations.
10:36We've lost one engine, but this plane flies all right on three.
10:40What happened?
10:41I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
10:46Radio from pilot.
10:47How are you doing all that message to McClellan?
10:50No good, sir.
10:51I haven't been able to raise anybody.
10:53We don't seem to be getting through.
10:56Commander Boyd.
10:57Commander Boyd.
11:00Well, there's nothing to worry about.
11:01Our pilot's the best.
11:03He knows what he's doing.
11:04I'm just going to have a look myself anyway.
11:05Pilot from Flight Engineer.
11:06We've lost all electrical power due to a short in the bus bar.
11:11You can use battery power for a short time only.
11:14To transmit and use your instrument.
11:15Roger.
11:16Well, that's real trouble if the weather's clobbered on the coast.
11:20Watch it, Dave.
11:21Number three's acting up.
11:22If it goes, we're really in trouble.
11:23You've got to raise somebody on the radio.
11:24Sorry to stick my nose in, but maybe I can help.
11:28Why don't you try UHF Channel 5?
11:29Call Continental Air Defense Radar Site on San Clemente Island.
11:31That's a real hard time.
11:32You've got to raise somebody on the radio.
11:33Why don't you try UHF Channel 5?
11:34You'll raise them, boys.
11:35Happy landings, gentlemen.

13:15I can't help it.
13:16I'm afraid if the children sense it,

17:28How can there be a cherry that has no stone?

18:27Request you scramble Conrad interceptors to lead me in.
18:32Over.
18:33With their speed, those jets can be here in minutes.
18:34Roger, we'll scramble Conrad interceptors immediately.
18:46Also, contact the Navy.

22:35You know, Lois.
22:36Oh, she's a great gal.
22:39She's great, all right.
22:41You should have seen her in the cabin.
22:42Saying to those two kids, calmed everybody down.
22:46I didn't know they made women like that anymore.
22:48She's quite a gal, Miss McKenzie.
22:50She always has been.
22:51She's been even better since she had her trouble.
22:53Trouble?
22:54She didn't tell you?
22:55No.
22:56A plane crashed after the Korean campaign.
22:59Her left leg.
23:00Well, we made it, didn't we?
23:19Yes.
23:20Chances were a million to one against us.
23:22And one in a million in the forest.
23:24And one in a million in the forest.
23:26It was a clean, no.
23:27Thanks for listening.
23:29And one in a million in the forest.
23:31It was just a change.
23:33I ran into the forest.
