You mean as a stuntman?

No, a paramedic.

ANNOUNCER: Here are some scenes from part

one of Survival on Charter 220.

He pulled some movie stuntman off the top

of those steam stacks. - How was the view?

A long way down.

We're supposed to take off in 15 minutes.

Good morning, Governor, Mrs. Sampson.

Good morning.

Are you sure everything's OK?

Well, what's not to be OK?

Don't you trust my flying?

It's not your flying that worries me.

You know, those people are just like everybody else,

about as boring as usual.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you something.

In the air I'll take boring over exciting anytime.

What's the matter?

Hi, mom I'm just kind of resting.

I don't feel too good.

Like how, honey?

I'm kind of dizzy and I can't see too well,

and my eyes are all fuzzy.

What happened?

Got hit by a ball right here.

You just lie still and I will be right back.

Well, that ought to hold you for a while.

Should hold us for more than that.

You know, this has been the slowest

day we've had in a long time?

Oh yeah?

Then why all the supplies?

Guess.

Everything comes easy to you.

You've always had everything.

First your father spoils you, then

that old geezer you married, now you spoil yourself.

You expect everybody to cater to you.

You don't seem to mind as long as you're making money off

of me.

I work damn hard for that money seven days a week.

And all those nights too, right Tom?

Yes, and all those nights too.

You just made that decision.

You lose both me and my money.

And you've finally proven what I've thought.

It's always been the money, never me.

You-- you can't get rid of me that easily.

Wanna bet?
