Elaine, I mean the mission has to be aborted. This ship should never have passed FSA inspection. This thing is held together by string and chewing gum.
|
Ted, get a grip on yourself. You should never have left the hospital.
|
Then you <u>do</u> think I'm insane.
|
I've never used the word insane, Ted.
|
What word would you use, Elaine?
|
The word is sick. Ted very, very, very sick.
|
What would you say if I told you the toilet just blew up in my face.
|
I'd use the word insane.
|
There's something dangerously wrong with this ship, Elaine. I know its the wiring. That toilet's just the tip of the iceberg.
|
Ted, a toilet's not going to kill anyone.
|
Elaine!
|
Ted!
|
Elaine, what's going on?
|
Ted, there's no time to explain.
|
Elaine, I'm going back there. Just hold onto that stick and try to control this hunk of tin as best you can.
|
Ted, please be careful.
|
Ted, we've only got ten minutes.
|
Not now, Elaine.
|
I mean until we start to burn up.
|
Kurtz was the one who got us into this mess in the first place. You people knew this ship wasn't ready to fly. You played God with over a hundred lives, Kruger, and for what the prestige of your precious space program.
|
That was very well put, Ted.
|
Well, Elaine, this might be it if those guys on the ground don't think of something.
|
I just want you to know, I love you Ted and always will.
|
That might be the news we've been waiting for.
|
Simon just ejected!
|
Sit down, Elaine. If this bomb trick works we just might make it. Simon was a fool to eject now.
|
You mean...
|
That's right premature ejection.
|
What will happen to him, Ted?
|
The sun will heat that thing to over 450 degrees within seconds. He'll roast like a pig on a spit.
|
Are you afraid?
|
Not when I'm with you, Ted.
|
I guess you'd have to be a fool not to be afraid at a time like this.
|
We've blown the computer! Elaine! Set course change!
|
Set!
|
Now!
|
Compute!
|
Ted, the lever!
|
Kramer, the WORP control handle just came off in my hand.
|
Oveur.
|
Dunn.
|
Shut down accelerators.
|
Accelerators down.
|
We seem to have a malfunction in disposal unit four, sir.
|
You better check it, Unger.
|
Sir, I've got an overload in disposal unit four.
|
You better check on it, Mr. Dunn. I'll stay here and fly the ship.
|
Dunn.
|
Sir?
|
You better take this.
|
Did you feel that?
|
Yes I did...
|
Felt like a large asteroid.
|
Yes it did. Mr. Dunn, can I ask you a personal question?
|
What is it, Mary?
|
Um... Do you people scream right when you... you know.
|
Commissioner, we both know the Mercury shuttle needs another month of prelaunch testing.
|
Forget it. The boys on the board want that shuttle to go on schedule.
|
And what do the boys on the board know about safety, Commissioner? Let <u>me</u> talk to them.
|
Bud, get wise to the political realities. The boys on the board are under a lot of pressure from the boys downtown.
|
You handle your front office people, I'll handle the press and leave the boys in Washington to the boys downtown and the boys downtown to the boys on the board.
|
Commissioner.
|
What?
|
I just wish it was that simple.
|
That's right, Commissioner. Senselessly murdered just minutes ago.
|
That just doesn't make any sense.
|
I wonder how your boys in Washington are going to take this one.
|
I told you, leave the boys in Washington to the boys downtown and the boys down...
|
You've made your point, Commissioner. There's only one other pilot who can handle that shuttle and that's Clarence Oveur. He's got a lunar flight today. I want him pulled. Jacobs, pull Oveur!
|
Forget it. I was reading.
|
I was reading too.
|
What's the story?
|
Some southern plantation owner falls in love with this poor...
|
I was asking McCrosky, Commissioner.
|
Kruger, Sagittarius.
|
Commissioner, Aquarius.
|
* CBS said they'll give us four minutes. They thought the Russian was a nice touch.
|
I always wondered if my freshman Russian class would come in handy.
|
You wanna knock of f?
|
No, no. I'm fine. What did the Speaker say?
|
He and the NRA don't like the wording.
|
With all due respect, sir, maybe you should give them this one. Your numbers are still pretty low and you called in a lot of chips to nail Stravanavitch.
|
I might still have a few chips left.
|
* We could always put you in a duck blind with a twelve gauge. The second amendment types'll love that.
|
This is a crime bill, Shep. Killing a couple ducks won't get it through committee. Besides, Shep, I told you... I don't shoot babies and I don't kiss guns.
|
Other way around, sir.
|
Right... Christ I'm tired. Do me a favor and keep me away from the press.
|
It's bait. Don't take it.
|
Sir, the Speaker of the House attacked this administration on national television. You can't afford to leave that hanging.
|
Did we tape the Duke game?
|
I said it's not worth the fight. Steward, please.
|
We'll just say it was in bad taste.
|
You give me ulcers.
|
That's my job.
|
Defense and State Department in the conference room in one hour. I want to review the Iraq situation.
|
Yes, sir.
|
Mr. President... they're ready for you in the conference room.
|
Okay. Hey, pumpkin, you'll tell me all about it later, right?
|
Mr. President, how the hell did you get on board?
|
I never left. Where's my wife and daughter?
