Leslie, come on, you look strong today.
Good height.
Not bad.
Yeah, keep at it.
What's the matter with you girls?
Where's all your energy?
Come on.
Isn't this fun?
Okay, let's see.
Good.
Terrific, that's more like it.
Have you been practicing?
Let's see.
Good move, good move.
Hey, you're looking better.
I'm proud of you.
Hey coach, I got a surprise for you.
Nancy, you know I don't like surprises.
Oh, but you're going to like this one.
Nancy, Nancy.
Hey, get an ambulance.
Somebody call the fire department.
This is Rampart, can you send me some EKG?
Okay.

Squad 51, continue monitoring vitals and transport immediately.
Why are we, Rampart?
She's in here.
What happened?
The girl's name is Nancy Benedict.
She fell off a balance beam and she hit her head.
Could you all move back?
Please, that would be a big help.
Thanks.
I'm Nancy's coach.
She fell off the balance beam while she was attempting a really difficult move.
It's important if she wants to go to the Olympics, but I didn't think she was really ready for
it.
Pupils are equal in reactivity.

There.
She's coming around a little better.
Sweetheart, sweetheart.
Come on, let's relax.
Come on, just relax now.
Okay, stay still.
You slipped.
You lost control and you fell off the beam.
It's okay.
Can you lay back down?
Who are you?
We're firing.
No, I'm fine.
Sweetheart, I'm fine.
Just leave it on your face.
Yeah, for dad's in the office.
They're located.
He's an engineer.
He's out there.
Yes, I'm fine.
I know.
I have to practice.
We have to get back down here.
Jenny, I'm fine.
Watch.
See?
All right, sit back.
Okay, get this over there.
And lay down.
Natomiast, the
superb

Well, I'm her coach. Your dad's on his way.
Do you think she's gonna be all right?
They'll do everything they can. Come on. I'll show you.
Wait.
You know, if she's not okay, I don't want to be the one to tell her father.
Thank you.
Carol, get x-ray down here stat.
I want a full skull and cervical spine series and a chest x-ray.
Take these to the lab, please.
Blood pressure's 120 over 90. Pulse is 76. Respirations 20.
How's she doing?
We'll know more after we get the x-rays.
Her pupils and reflexes are responsive.
Where am I? What's going on?
She's in the hospital.
You had a fall. We'll find out what's wrong with you.
Oh, I remember.
I was practicing on the beam and I fell off.
Full series.
We're gonna take some pictures. Just lie still. We'll be right outside.
Is my dad here? He's on his way.
Will I be okay by Saturday? Saturday.
It's the last big meet before the Olympic trials.
Well, you just take it easy.
I've got to get out of here so this man can take some pictures.
Poor kid.
All she's concerned about is whether or not she can compete on Saturday.
How did you let it happen, Jenny? How?
Mr. Benedict, this is the nurse who admitted Nancy. These are the doctors.
I'm Alan Benedict, Nancy's father. How is she?
She's having some x-rays taken right now.
As soon as the examination is over, we'll let you know what her condition is.
I wanted to have the best of care, no matter what it costs.
We're doing everything we can, Mr. Benedict.
I think she'll be here for... Excuse me.
We'll let you know as soon as the report comes in.
Why don't you go to the end of the hall? There's a cafeteria.
Okay. Okay. Thanks a lot.
Come on.
Oh, boy.
You mean you didn't even have someone covering it when you tried the back aerial?
Mr. Benedict, I told you, I didn't even know she was going to do it.
Why not? Why not?
Oh, it certainly seems strange to me
that her coach would be completely taken by surprise
when she tries a move, a new move, for the first time.
Now, doesn't that seem strange to you?
Yes, it does. It never should have happened.
Look, I've told you before, I don't think Nancy's physically strong enough yet
for Olympic-caliber moves.
They've been so difficult, especially for a child her age.
Just a minute, Miss Crotter.
That still doesn't explain how she got the idea
to try the back aerial in the first place.
You tell me.
I wonder if that little girl's going to be okay.
Probably. She didn't fall very far and she landed on the pad.
Yeah.
Well, you know, that balance beam sure looked a little tricky, didn't it?
Yeah, it's like anything else. You gotta know what you're doing.
Yeah.
I wonder if I could do it.

LAUGHS
Please help me. You certainly took your sweet time getting here.
LAUGHS
Oh, my Lord, if she'd given that kind of energy to the part,
we would have had it in the first take.
You know actresses. What's her name?
Karen... something.
LAUGHS
LAUGHS
All right, hello, Karen. Karen, we're gonna get you down from there.
So you do us a favor and don't move around, okay?
We will. We will. We will fall if you stay still, okay?
BEEPING
I'll tell you what we're gonna do. Get up there on that catwalk.
Come down on either side of those lifelines.
Tie her off to a lifeguard. Cut the wires before you now from there.
Be careful. Don't panic. Go ahead.
Who's in charge of this rigging here?
Okay, look, I want these lines locked into position
so they don't move around at all, okay?
LAUGHS
Karen, don't move, okay, honey?
Two firemen are gonna come down on ropes on either side of you
and they're gonna rescue you. You're gonna be okay.
Please, I'm gonna fall!
No, no, no, you're not. No, you're not. Not if you don't move.
Stay right there, okay?
Can you hear me? Can you understand?
Okay. Stay right there.
LAUGHS
Hold it.
Okay, here we go. You'll be okay. Just relax.
All right. Now we're gonna cut you careful.
No! Go, go, go!
No!
CRASHING
Here, grandma.
You ready? Yeah.
Okay, one more.
Okay, now...
Quick.
Got her? Yeah, by the wing.
Lower me down a little bit.
You got her? Got her.
All right.
Lower her head down.
Roy, John, the cable's breaking. Quick!
You got her? Yeah, I got the full weight.
We can't get the belt around her, Cap.
We're just gonna have to bring her down now.
Yeah!
LAUGHS
You got it?
Is she gonna be all right?
Oh, man, we're gonna do everything we can here.
We need to act so unfeeling before, you know,
but this is my first day directing.
Okay, that's all right. Just excuse me for a minute, okay?
We're gonna take care of her.
We just broke for lunch.
Go ahead, 51.
Um...
Go ahead, 51.
John and Roy are bringing in a patient.
There's no trauma, but she's very upset.
Uh, Joe's free. Would you ask him to see her?
He's in one. Mike and I are gonna go see Nancy's father.
Oh, he's on the patio. Good.
How's she doing?
She's experiencing dizziness and nausea,
but the x-rays are negative and vitals are strong.
She's sustained a minor concussion.
I also suspect an inner ear problem.
We'll keep her here for observation for a day or so,
but I think with rush she'll be fine.
I'll catch up with you. Okay.
How's Nancy? Can I see her?
Yeah, she's resting now.
All the x-rays were negative.
She has a mild concussion
and possibly an inner ear problem.
Is that crippling?
Oh, she may experience a little dizziness for a day or so,
maybe even some nausea, but it shouldn't be permanent.
When can I take her home?
Well, I'd like her to stay here for observation for a day or so.
Maybe you'd like to contact your own doctor
and have him take over her case now that she's stable.
I have a confession to make.
I called her own doctor while I was waiting.
He knows your reputation.
He says Nancy couldn't be getting any better care.
I'd like you to stay on the case.
Fine.
If you'll see Nurse McCall and fill out some forms,
we'll be glad to take care of her.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
I know Nancy appreciates what you've done.
I... I certainly do.
I want her to have every bit of care you can provide.
I understand.
I hope you don't think I'm being too protective of Nancy.
It's just that her mother died five years ago
and since then it's just been the two of us.
Well, as it were, Nancy's a pretty lucky girl.
Lucky?
What Dr. Morton is saying is
that if Nancy had hit her head on the beam
instead of landing on the mat,
it could have been a lot more serious.
I didn't even know she was working on a back aerial.
Well, Nancy's still growing and developing physically.
Isn't she a little young to be trying out for the Olympics?
Why not four years from now?
In four years she'll be 18.
She's got to have Olympic exposure at this stage,
otherwise she won't have a chance the next time.
We realize how important this is, Mr. Benedict.
What we're suggesting is that...
I'm only concerned with Nancy's welfare, that's all.
Going to the Olympics is important only to her, not to me.
Why, she's a born competitor.
I'm going to do everything I can to protect her,
but I won't break that spirit doing it.
Well, Tinkerbell's going to be fine,
but I don't think Dr. Early ever saw a patient with wings on before.
It was funny.
I'm going to restock here.
I was saying, how's your aesthetic customer? Go ahead.
Aesthetic customer.
You know, I was talking to, uh, 12th City the other day,
and they said that the base station over at Memorial
was giving trading stamps for their orders.
John, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Johnny, it's a good thing you're cute.
Yeah, because you sure are funny.
I can be funny if I want to be.
Hey, Doc.
Yeah?
Can I talk to you just for a second?
Sure.
I'd like to talk to you about that little gymnast girl.
How is she?
Fine.
But she wants a crack at the Olympics so badly
that she's trying moves she's just not physically able to do.
Well, I figure if you, uh, if you want to be a champion,
you've got to take chances.
I mean, you take chances every day of your life, don't you?
Okay.
If you know what the risks are,
and I don't think a child her age can make a decision like that.
Yeah.
I agree with you wholeheartedly,
but I think that that's where the parents
and the coaches come in.
And that just very well may be the problem.
Okay, fine, but I don't think that, uh,
you should be blaming the little girl.
I'm not.
What's that?
Oh, we're just exchanging a few medical ideas and things.
I've got to go back to work.
I'll see you later.
Hey, listen, will you do me a favor?
Sure.
Keep me informed on the little girl.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
What was that all about?
We were talking about that little gymnast girl.
Uh, simple paramedic debating with a real doctor.
Simple.
Just a joke.
Paramedic?
You know, very little joke, as Dixie said.
Just real cute, Roy.
Just real cute.
I'm surprised he'd gotten that emotionally involved.
Well, he's just not seasoned like you and I are, you know.
That's true.
He hasn't been on the runs we have.
He just can't get involved.
You cannot get emotionally involved with a patient.
You know, I never get emotionally involved
with anything I've never done.
Yeah.
Station 51, vehicle fire with possible injury.
Wetknaww Highway, cross street will them.
Time of 1222.
Station 51, AMG 365.
I guess you're here. You okay? Yeah, officer, but I can't get out of here. There's a steering wheel in my lap.
Oh, of course I'm drunk. What do you think I'm driving for? I'm unable to walk.
Yeah, okay. Well, throw a bar at the door. We'll use the jaws on the steering wheel.
Be careful with the car. It's going to go a line. Huh? Careful with that.
Move your truck up a few feet for me, will you? We'll put the real line on it.
Looks like he's under this car and the horn won't work.
Hey, this car's in bad shape. Boy, if I was my friend, I'd turn it over. Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's cold! I don't know how to swim, officer. It's cold! Whoo!
Sergeant, hold. Be careful. Oh, now I'm freezing. Okay, I'm going to set up over here. Hey, a couple of pulleys in here, officer.
Oh, thank you, Sergeant, thank you. Tonight's pattern. Very pretty. Thank you very much. Thank you. Whoa! Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Where are you going?
Just hang on, we're gonna get you out.
Turn on the lights in this area.
Here.
Go.
Come on.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Let's get you out of here.
Come on, let's get you out of here.
You know, somehow this is one drunk I am not enjoying.
Okay. You hurt anywhere?
Nah. You sure?
Nah. Okay, come on, just take it easy now, okay?
Yes, yes, as a matter of fact, I am, officer.
Alright.
I got a neck hurts and my back.
Okay.
What happened was I stopped for this red light and he backed into me.
Yeah, that light's half a block behind you, buddy.
Well, I must have ricocheted from the impact.
Well, let's take you over here and get you checked out, huh?
Huh?
Neck and back injury.
Neck and back injury, officer.
Alright, come on, come on.
Why don't we get rid of this cigar, huh?
Oh, okay.
Let's take your coat off here, huh?
Can you handle it?
Okay, officers.
Everything's fine.
Rampart, this is squad 51.
How do you read me?
Go ahead, 51.
Rampart, we have a male traffic accident.
He's complaining of neck and back injuries.
That's right, neck and back.
Approximately age...
How old are you?
Oh, I must be in my mid-30s.
About 40.
Yeah, about that.
Rampart age approximately 40.
There's no signs of apparent trauma.
Stand by for vital signs.
Pulse is 65.
The respiration is 20.
20! You get that?
I got it.
Rampart, vital signs. Pulse is 65.
Respiration is 20.
There's no apparent signs of trauma.
Stand by for BP.
180 over 90.
Rampart, BP is 180 over 90.
You're in pretty good shape.
Blood pressure's a little high.
Oh, yeah? Okay.
Victim is stuporous.
Also, reportedly he's been consuming alcohol.
I had one Tom Collins.
Continue monitoring vitals. Transport non-code R.
All right, 10-4, Rampart.
Okay, we're gonna take you to the ambulance to the hospital, all right?
Okay.
Here are some fellows. I'm really very, very sleepy.
I think I'm gonna go to sleep.
Hold on.
Hey, hey.
You got him?
Huh?
Watch his neck.
All right, just take it easy, will you?
Sure. I'll drive.
Got him?
Whoo!
Here, just lay back down, okay?
Okay, buddy.
Just let him take you in, all right?
Okay, officer.
Yeah. Thanks.
You can drop me over to Joe's.
They're having a happy hour over there.
And it's just down the corner.
It's not very far.
Hey, the other guy's got a gun.
It's not very far.
Hey, do you have a bucket?
I'd like to borrow a bucket.
We'll get you all the buckets you want when we get to the hospital.
Just a small bucket, all righty.
Oh, just a big bucket.
Okay.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm Dixie. How you doing?
Fine.
My head doesn't hurt at all, and I only get dizzy once in a while.
Good.
Oh, it sure is raining.
I remember you from yesterday.
Yeah?
When they brought me upstairs.
Thank you.
For what?
Taking such good care of me.
That's my job.
Could you stay and talk?
Just for a minute.
First time by yourself?
Yeah.
I really like it here.
Do you think I could be a nurse someday?
Or even a doctor?
I don't see why not.
It's very hard work, but it's very rewarding.
I don't mind hard work.
When it's for something important.
Would you like to see my doctor?
I'd love to see you.
When it's important.
Would you like to see my scrapbook?
Sure.
My dad brought it this afternoon.
It's right over there.
Is this it?
Here, let me get this out of the way for you.
Thank you.
This is last Halloween.
Is that you in the football uniform?
It was my dad's.
He wore it when he played in the Rose Bowl.
We had to put newspaper in the helmet
and a pin at the back of the jersey.
That's a pretty fierce look on your face.
My dad says when you're a football player,
you gotta look tough.
Scares him.
I guess so.
This is last spring.
I won second in the San Francisco Regionals.
Your dad looks so excited.
He looks like he's gonna burst.
When they announced the results,
he picked me right up.
That's when the photographer took the picture.
You and your dad seem very close.
Yeah.
Especially since my mom died.
He works extra hard taking care of me.
Because he's both my parents.
Well, he's very lucky to have a daughter like you.
And I work extra hard
because I know he wishes he had a son, too.
Oh, come on.
You through with this? Uh-huh.
Okay. See you later.
Okay. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Yeah.
Why are you still here?
A couple of last-minute things I wanted to check on.
Oh.
May I help you?
Yeah, I was looking for...
Nancy was brought in, weren't you?
Right. You're Nancy's coach.
Yes. Jenny Carter. Hello.
Hi. You better hurry if you want to see her.
Fessing hours are almost over.
Is she alone?
I mean, is her father with her?
Because if he's with her,
maybe you could just give these to her
and tell her I said hello.
What seems to be the problem?
Don't you two get along?
Doctor, do you know what the worst kind
of little league parents are like?
They're always beating their kids at bat.
Well, multiply that by ten.
You have a father with Olympic fever.
They smell those gold medals and go crazy.
Hmm. Benedict didn't strike me
that way. Just the opposite, in fact.
Oh, the parents who yell
or scream or make threats, I can handle.
Benedict's worse.
He uses guilt.
Guilt? I don't understand.
Well, he just tells Nancy
how disappointed he is when she doesn't do well.
Did you ever see a kid cry
because she's afraid her father won't love her anymore?
You think Benedict
is responsible for Nancy doing that stunt?
The back aerial? Absolutely.
Hmm.
That's funny.
He told me he didn't even know she put it in her routine.
I believe him. He probably doesn't even want to know
how dangerous some of Nancy's stunts could be.
You mean he just tells Nancy
he hopes she'll win
and leaves the rest up to her, right?
Exactly.
And if he isn't stopped,
Nancy's gonna have another accident.
She's down here?
You're on the left. Thank you.
Daddy!
Hiya, princess. Boy, you look terrific.
I feel great, Daddy.
Say, uh...
You suppose I could convince you to come home with me?
I know how you enjoy all your friends at the hospital,
but I'm lonely.
Oh, Dad, can we go now? I'm all packed.
Right now.
I just signed for you.
All those release forms say that you belong to me.
Oh, always, Dad.
Um, I stopped by the gym last night.
I watched practice.
Dad, all the kids were terrific.
Look what they sent me.
Do you think I could give some of them to Dixie?
Sure, sure.
That hand-wrapped girl really looks tough.
I think she'll win the meet on Saturday.
I bet I could beat her.
You mean you want to compete on Saturday?
Do you think I can?
Well, uh...
How do you feel?
Fine.
Well, it's up to you.
If you feel all right.
It sure would make your old dad proud.
Well, I think I can.
I know I can, Daddy.
These charts go to three each.
They should have been there this morning.
Hello.
Hi.
Nancy wanted to say good-bye.
Oh, great.
These are for you.
They're hardly wilted at all.
Wow, hey, thanks. They're beautiful.
Um, I was wondering, could you come to the meet on Saturday?
I'm gonna compete, and I tried extra hard just knowing that you were there.
Nancy decided to compete on Saturday.
Made up her own mind.
That's quite a girl I've got. No stopping her.
Does Dr. Bracken know about this?
Oh, Nancy just told me.
Do I know about what?
That, uh, Nancy's gonna compete on Saturday?
No, I didn't know.
Uh, Mr. Benedict, can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure.
Excuse us. Come on, Nancy.
Let's put these in the center.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Here, this looks pretty good.
What's this about Nancy competing?
She says she feels fine and wants to do it.
Well, she can't. She feels fine because she's been resting,
but she still has the inner ear problem.
Oh, that's not serious, is it?
She'll keep on feeling fine as long as she takes it easy,
but an inner ear problem could affect her sense of balance badly.
You said it could, not that it would.
Mr. Benedict, please believe me.
If Nancy tries to compete before this thing clears up,
she'll get dizzy, lose her sense of position.
She could really hurt herself again.
Nancy looks terrific.
She says she feels fine. If she wants to compete,
I'm not gonna stop her. The decision is hers.
You can't really believe that.
The only reason Nancy's competing is to please you,
but you're an adult responsible for her welfare.
You can stop her.
Now, wait a minute.
The Olympics mean everything to that girl.
I'm not gonna have her blame me in a few years
for not being able to get on the most exciting moment of her life.
Would you please be reasonable?
All she needs is a few months' rest. She can compete later.
Oh, no. If she misses the meet on Saturday,
she won't have a chance until the trials.
She'll be systematically eliminated.
I'm not gonna have that happen.
I mean...
she'd be very disappointed.
I know exactly what you mean.
Come on, honey. Let's go.
Is Nancy gonna compete?
Compete? Oh, yes.
You didn't say whether you can come.
Um, I'll be on duty,
but I got a TV set and watch it.
Oh, great. Nancy, let's go.
You take care now.
Thanks for everything, Dixie.
I'm gonna miss you.
Me, too.
Bye.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
Channel 4 Sports welcomes you to the municipal arena
where today we'll see hopefuls
for the women's Olympic Gymnastics team
compete on the parallel bars and balance beam.
Coming off the balance beam now,
17-year-old Jessie Stone from San Francisco.
Here comes the first contestant
from San Francisco.
Here come her scores.
8.0,
8.5,
8.5.
Solid marks for Jessie.
Here's little Nancy Benedict.
At 14, one of the youngest ever
to compete for a spot on the women's Olympic team.
She's made a good mount.
What's going on? The patients treating themselves?
Early lunch.
That was an aerial walkover.
A difficult move and very well done.
This is a strong performance by Nancy.
Took a bad fall and was hopped on.
She's got a good body.
She's got a good body.
Nancy took a bad fall and was hospitalized earlier this week.
Here comes the most difficult portion of Nancy's routine.
A series of superior moves.
A beautiful back walkover
into a back tuck somersault.
Nancy's falling.
It looks like she hit the beam on the way down.
My God.
Here's the instant replay of that fall.
She's coming out of the back walkover in good form.
But see, as she starts the back somersault,
it appears that she loses her balance
and hits her head on the beam.
Oh, what a shame.
She was doing so well.
You know, folks, any type of a back somersault is a blind move.
That was a tough break for Nancy.
I hope she's all right.
Teams in two.
Okay.
Mike, check her vitals.
Joe, check this arm.
Dick's draw blood for arterial blood gases.
Her pupils are responsive, and her reflexes are good.
Blood pressure's 120 over 60 pulses.
110 respirations are 20.
She's stable.
How's that arm?
Looks like a fractured humerus in the mid shaft.
A possible contusion of the radial nerve.
We'll have to check her for wrist trouble.
Right clavicle is fractured.
I want pictures of the clavicle and the humerus.
A chest series, a rib series, and a full skull series.
I'm worried about complications.
You're considering a hemothorax
or a hemorrhage?
Among other things.
Let's go.
Now, once she fell, she must have tried to push off with her arm.
Yeah, she's got a lot of blood.
She's probably trying to push off with her arm.
Yeah, she's a gutsy girl.
Probably saved her life.
But if the radial nerve is contused,
her arm will be impaired, perhaps permanently.
You want me to prepare to insert a chest tube?
Yeah.
Well, those x-rays are a rush.
Uh, Miss McCall?
Yeah.
What's her condition?
We don't know yet.
This way.
I just don't understand how it could happen.
She's so good. It's never happened like this before.
All of a sudden...
I just don't understand it.
Will you please call me as soon as you know something?
As soon as we know.
Well, skull x-rays are negative.
No sign of a hemothorax or pneumothorax.
No sign of a hemothorax or pneumothorax.
The cast on the arm and the spinning of the clavicle,
she should be stabilized.
Dix, let's go with the figure-eight bandage.
Oh, it hurts.
Every place.
The worst is over, Nancy.
You're gonna be all right.
I'm gonna go talk to her father, Joe.
I'll get the cast on you.
I'll get the cast on you.
How is she, doctor?
Nancy has a broken collarbone and a broken arm.
No other really serious complications.
Oh, thank God.
Doctor, when do you think she'll be able to...
to compete again?
I can't answer that.
It's possible she may never be able to compete again.
But you said there were no major complications.
I know.
But to be a gymnast, you need an acute sense of balance.
At this time, there's no way of telling how badly Nancy's been affected.
I see.
In any event, Mr. Benedict,
it seems to me that there should be more important things
between you and Nancy than whether or not she can be a champion.
Sure, Doc.
Sure.
Oh, no.
Looks like we missed lunch again.
Well, I wouldn't worry about it.
I can only take so much of Kelly's Mexican food.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Hey, uh...
there's a taco stand right there.
You want to go in and grab a fast bite?
Yeah.
Station 51, engine 14, engine 18,
truck 28, battalion 14, train fire.
Pacific Dock, Pier 5,
Cross Street, Ocean Boulevard,
timeout 14.05.
Ocean Boulevard,

train 18, train 365.
Is that Ocean, right? Yeah.
Well, so much for lunch.
All right, six blocks, then turn left.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Station 51 has seen we have smoke and flames
showing from the train.
T
Did you copy?
Except two-and-a-halfs.
Stalker, Stalker will draft from here, pal.
Prepare to supply all the other engines.
We've got to get that fire out.
What's in the car?
The harness blowers.
The crates must be burning.
Gas heater must have started it.
What about that other car?
Ammonium nitrates.
It's going to blow sky high.
Boy, Texas City, huh?
Yeah, ship down there, had that stuff on board.
A few hundreds of people.
Big cars, bad news.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Squad 51, engine 51, I want you to pull a two-and-a-half-inch line.
L.A., engine 51, report on this fire as one of the burning cars
contains ammonium nitrate.
Request a second alarm assignment.
Engine 18, engine 51, hook in the money engine and relieve my men.
Dual-fog pattern, possible ammonium nitrate fire.
What do you want?
Get water on that last car.
It's loaded with ammonium nitrate.
Thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
Give me two-and-a-halfs.
You're going to disconnect that tanker and you can pull that burning car out of here.
No, no, no.
Hey, you can pull any minute.
I'm getting out of here.
You get back here.
Come here.
You're the switch man, right?
Okay, you get down there.
We're going to get that thing down there.
You switch it so we can get it to the far end.
Go.
Hey, Teller, you've proved heavy equipment, pal.
You think you can run a locomotive?
I think so, Cap.
I'd like to try it.
Okay, get out of there.
That's sunny, but we get this thing on couple.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
You're going to get it.
Mr. Benedict?
Hello.
Guess what, Miss McCall?
What?
Dad and I have been talking about the Olympics.
Oh?
We're going.
Dad didn't want me to miss out on it just because I can't compete.
Isn't that great?
That's super.
Are you sure you want mine not competing?
Well, like Dad said, it'll just give us more time to be together.
I love you.
I love you too, sweetheart.
I love you too.
