That Girl (1966–1971): Season 4, Episode 19 - Ugh Wilderness - full transcript
Despite the possibility of them crashing due to a combination of factors, Ann and Donald's flight to Vermont on the small private plane of Donald's friend Jon is able to make an emergency landing in an unknown location. Although shaken, Ann, Donald and Jon all are physically unhurt. It's dark and cold, and visibility is near zero. Jon volunteers to go look for help and suggests to Ann and Donald that they stay in or near the plane if at all possible, since it is the safest and warmest location, especially if they can build a fire. Jon is able to find some help, but when they return to the plane, Ann and Donald are gone. Unknown to Jon, they had no matches and as such went looking for some shelter. As Jon and the officers eventually go searching for the pair, they who are facing their own immediate problems, they have no ideas which way to search. Meanwhile, Ann and Donald will ultimately have more problems to face than just the need to find shelter and the hope that they will be rescued. That additional problem is in the form of Ann's father.
[clunking]
Oh, Donald, I'm
scared. I'm really scared.
Don't be, sweetheart.
I hate to disobey
you, Donald, but I am.
I have been, and
I'm going to be.
[thunder]
Ohh... Uh, Jon,
don't you think you
could find a clearer spot?
We're in it!
Oh. I hate it.
I really hate it.
Honey, you always feel this way
when you fly, and
nothing ever happens.
I've never been in
a toy plane before.
I mean, it's so tiny, and
there's no tomato juice.
What?
Always is a big plane
when I get scared,
I can look at the stewardess,
and if she's smiling
and serving tomato juice,
I know everything's
gonna be just fine.
[loud thunder]
Uhh! Oh, Donald!
Why didn't we drive?
Because it would've
taken ten hours
to get to your father's
cabin from New York,
and this way, it'll only be two.
Oh, Daddy was
right. He really was.
He said not to fly.
[thunder]
Ohh!
Uh, honey, think,
sweetheart, think.
Honestly, what is
there to be afraid of?
The thunder, the lightning,
the fog, the storm...
this tiny, little toy plane.
And a crash.
Ann, honey, now, listen to me.
Excuse me for
interrupting you, Don,
but you'd be smarter
to listen to that girl.
♪♪ [theme]
All right, all right.
Now settle down.
Settle down. Believe
me, there's nothing...
Nothing to worry about.
Donald, he just said...
I know, I know.
I'm talking to me.
[thunder]
Do... Do you know where we are?
No, ma'am. I've lost
all my visual references.
Aah!
All right, all right.
All right, all right, all right.
What about the radio, Jon?
Not working, Don.
♪ Twinkle,
twinkle, little star ♪
I always used to
sing that, Donald,
when I was a little girl
and I was scared a lot.
You can take me
home now, Donald.
Honey, honey, now, look, why don't
you just try and shut your eyes and relax.
Everything's gonna be fine.
[clunking] Right, Jon?
Oh... you bet, you bet.
[thunder] Aah!
Wait a minute! There's a
small clearing down there.
I might be able
to set it in there.
Small clearing?
Hold on!
Can you make that, Jon?
Hold onto her, Don.
All right. All right.
Brace yourselves.
[thunder]
[motor cuts in and out]
[wind blowing]
Oh, I gotta call my father.
Are you all right, honey?
Yeah. I think so.
[sigh] You all right, Don?
Yeah. Are you?
Yeah.
It's a miracle. It's
really a miracle.
I mean, nobody's hurt.
It's just an absolute miracle!
Unless... you...
you don't think...
ma-maybe we're all dead!
No. Sure, Donald.
I saw it in a movie one time,
and nobody knew they were.
We're all alive and well
and living in a cockpit.
My leg! My leg! It's...
My leg is all numb!
I'm touching my leg,
and I don't feel anything!
You're touching my
leg, and it's all right.
Oh.
Oh.
Donald, hold me.
Okay, honey, okay, okay.
We're all right,
and it's all over now.
I wish it was.
What's that mean?
And I don't want to hear.
Just let me believe for a
few seconds it's all over now.
Why? What's the matter?
Well, it gets pretty cold
in these mountains at
night. We've gotta get help.
Oh, well, then, let's
start walking somewhere.
That would be the biggest
mistake we could make.
We'll stay right here.
No.
No. No.
Well, one of us will
have to go for help.
That's right. Now, listen, Don.
Why don't you
stay here with Ann?
I'll go. If I'm not
back by morning,
you'd better start
off on your own.
But stay inside
the plane all night.
It may be the only
shelter you'll have.
Does it really get freezing?
Pretty close to it.
You two'll just have
to huddle together
and get all the warmth you can.
Uh, Jon, wait a
minute. That's not fair.
No, Donald, I don't mind.
I'll see you later.
Uh, Jon. Jon.
Jon, wait a minute. What?
Wait a minute. Listen.
Uh, that's not fair.
I can't let you go.
Look, we'll flip a coin for it.
If I lose, I'll go,
and you stay here
and take care of Ann.
Donald!
What?
Uh... uh, nothing.
Y-You're right. You...
You have to be fair.
I see. You just
don't like the idea
of having to huddle all night
with a perfect stranger, huh?
Uh, no. It... It doesn't matter.
What... Whatever you
two men work out is fine.
Come here, Don.
[whispering inaudibly]
All right. [clears throat]
Honey, look, we've solve it
without a flip of a coin. Oh?
We'll both stay here,
and you go for help.
[men laugh]
Now, look, Jon and I agree
that the danger is just as great
here as it is... Danger?
Well, why? What do
you mean, danger?
Oh, there's nothing
to worry about, really.
Just keep a small fire
going to ward off the...
cold.
You... You weren't
gonna say "cold."
You were gonna say "monsters."
Believe me, honey,
he wasn't gonna say "monsters."
I... I believe that.
Snakes. Snakes, right?
I just hate snakes.
And crawly things.
Really, I'm not a
coward, honest,
but... but you can't
see crawly things.
I mean, I wouldn't
mind wild animals
like... like puppies.
I'll be brave. I'll
be brave, Donald.
I'll be brave.
Good-bye, Jon.
Oh, Jon. Thanks so much.
You're such a nice man.
Good luck, and thanks.
Well, Don, let's, uh,
flip that coin, huh?
[both chuckle]
I'll see you later. Okay.
Bye.
Good luck, Jon.
[wind howls]
You know, Donald, it's
starting to get really cold.
Come here.
Ohh!
[shivering] Ohh!
You know, all the
times you've done that,
I never realized it could
be used for warming.
Come to think of it, it
never was very chilly.
Come on, sweetheart We'd
better build that little fire.
You know, Donald,
I read someplace
that if you make
a circle with rope
and you stay inside it,
a snake won't crawl over it.
Uh, no, no, no, honey. That was
if you made a
circle with a snake,
a rope wouldn't...
Uh, we'll look for a rope.
So far, I'm no
Tarzan by a long shot.
No rope and no
matches for a fire.
I guess there's no
sense in proving to you
that I can swing from trees.
Donald, I know what Jon
said about staying here,
but we're gonna freeze.
I was thinkin' that. But
it's been an hour now.
Why don't we give him
another hour if you can stand it.
I'd hate to start off
and then miss him
if he was comin' back with help.
Yeah, you're right. Okay.
I'll be able to make it.
I hope.
[hooting]
That's it. We're leaving.
It's an owl.
I know, Donald,
but owls eat meat.
I remember that
much from school.
Honey, we don't
have any meat here.
What are we, apricots?
Honey, an owl will
not attack a person.
How do you know?
People are too big.
I may be bigger
than an owl, Donald,
but I happen to know that
if one attacked me, I'd lose.
Yeah, but the owl
doesn't know that.
Well, there goes that saying.
What?
The wise old owl.
They're a bunch of
dummies. [chuckles]
[phone rings]
[ring]
[ring]
[ring]
[ring]
[ring]
Operator, get me
the state police.
Hello. Officer? This
is Lou Marie speaking.
Do you have any reports at all
of any light plane accidents?
You don't?
Oh, thank goodness.
Yes. My daughter's
flying up here
in a small private plane.
And I wondered if... Huh?
No, I don't have a phone.
That is, I'm staying
in a cabin on the lake
without a phone. No. I'm calling
from the Green Trees
Hotel and Country Club.
Yeah. I'll check back with you.
Thank you.
[wind howling]
I mustn't sleep. I can't sleep.
Why not, honey?
Because that's how
you freeze to death.
I don't think it's cold
enough to freeze.
It's about 40 degrees.
What's freezing? 32.
32? 32 to 40?
What's that, 8 points?
That's enough
for a deathly chill.
[sigh] Oh, Donald, I
can't stand it anymore.
It's freezing in here.
Let's move around.
Okay, honey, okay,
okay. Maybe you're right.
Am I being a bad
survivor, Donald?
[chuckles] You're being
a wonderful survivor.
And it's really kind of funny.
Is it? Where? Where's
the kind of funny?
She me where
the kind of funny is.
Since the first week
we started going out,
I always thought
how great it would be
to be stranded on a
desert island with you.
A freezing mountaintop
I didn't think of.
But you know, so
far, it's not too bad.
Come on. We'll be all right.
Which... Which way should we go?
We'll go the same
direction Jon went.
Did you notice
which way that was?
[wind blowing]
Did you?
Let's wait another hour.
Hello. Officer, this
is Lou Marie again.
What?
Oh, that's wonderful news!
Yeah. Is... Is everybody safe?
Is my daughter all right?
Is she there?
What? Well, how
long will it take you?
Does the pilot know his
way back up the mountain?
How far am I from you?
Well, now, let me
ask you one question.
Is the rescue party
leaving right away?
Good. I'll drive over
and wait for a report.
And... thank you. Good luck.
Thank you very much.
Okay, honey. Come on, let's go.
Is an hour up yet?
Yeah. Oh, good.
Come on. Oh...
Come on, honey.
We'll have to try
and find shelter somewhere else.
Do you see any owls?
Honey, forget about the owls.
Maybe with some luck,
we'll bump into Jon
and the search party.
Ohh... Be careful.
Bundle up. Ohh... Come on.
Just a couple of
hundred yards or so,
straight up this way.
Let's hope they
stayed by the plane.
Oh, I'm sure they did.
Ann?
Don!
Why didn't they wait?
I don't smell any fire.
They probably didn't
have any matches
and started walking
to keep warm.
Well, which way did they go?
I mean, how are we
gonna follow them?
Well, there's no way
to find a trail at this hour.
We may as well camp here tonight
and get a head start in the morning.
Let's go find some wood.
[wind howls softly]
Stand back, honey.
I'll kick the door in.
Oh, Donald, you can't do that.
There may be people in there.
Honey, I knocked.
I know, but some people
are very heavy sleepers,
and... [owl hoots]
Kick it in. Kick it in.
All right. Watch
out. Stand back.
[thud] Ow!
Oh... Donald, are you all right?
Uh, most of me, sweetheart,
considering a foot is only
1/20 of the whole body.
Here goes the other tenth.
Left foot.
[crashing]
Oh! Oh, Donald.
You're wonderful.
How's your foot?
Fine. Fine. Oh, good.
Ooh, here's a switch.
Oh, darn it, the
lights don't work.
All right, maybe
there's some matches.
Look around. Feel around for...
Donald, will you close
the door? It's freezing!
All right. Honey,
now feel around
for shelves or drawers
or something there
may be some matches in.
Okay.
[furniture scooting]
Oh. Excuse me.
Quite all right.
[clattering]
[thud] Ow!
Donald, watch
where you're going!
Thank you, honey.
[thumping]
[Donald] Wait a minute.
Here's a fireplace.
[racket]
Here. Here, honey.
Oh, great.
Oh, look, Donald! A lamp!
Where?
Don't ever say
"where" into a match.
Light another one.
Wait a minute.
Oh, good.
Good.
Here.
Oh, great.
Ohh... Oh, Donald, it's...
It's like finding paradise.
Oh, I feel so safe again.
Hello? Hello?
"Hello, hello"?
It's dead.
Oh. You know, honey,
this must be somebody's
vacation cabin.
Maybe they're just out for
the night and they'll be back.
Honey, they wouldn't
turn off all the electricity
and the phone just
for one night out.
Maybe they're cheap.
Maybe I'm being silly.
'Course, I'd prefer
to believe the first,
although I happen to know
that the second is more accurate.
And is it true people start
mumbling incoherently
when they're frightened?
Here's another lamp.
Oh, good.
Be it ever so humble.
Oh, Donald.
It's charming, isn't it?
It really is charming.
Just one thing
could make it perfect.
What's that?
If it were in the cabin exhibit
right in the middle of
the New York auditorium
five minutes from my
apartment. I'm freezing.
All right, honey,
I'll build a fire.
Oh, we're gonna need more wood.
Where are you
gonna get more wood?
I'll go outside and look.
Oh, Donald! Please don't
leave me in here alone!
The wood out there wouldn't
be dry enough, anyway.
Honey, it'll be worth a look.
[owl hoots] It's definitely
not worth a look.
Oh, Donald, please
don't go out there.
I found wood! I
found wood! Where?
Here. Here. Here's wood.
Oh, honey, don't be silly.
I'll look outside.
How can you break a chair?
[crash]
That's how.
[closes door]
Okay.
You're strong.
There, honey. How's
that? You feel warmer?
Yeah. What about food?
Can I tell you something?
Oh, maybe some
marshmallows or wieners.
Even spinach.
I would just like to
relax for a minute.
It's been a wild and
furious ten hours,
and suddenly, on a
cold and dreary night,
I find myself alone
in a cozy cabin
next to a fireplace
with you, [chuckles]
and I would just like
to relax for a minute,
totally without any thoughts
of any problems at all.
Donald?
What?
Would you mind if I joined you
in enjoying yourself with me?
[chuckles] Not at all.
[chuckles]
Time's up.
Okay. What's the word?
Nietzschean.
You have g-h-o.
Nietzschnean? What's that?
That's not a word. Yes, it is.
If that's a word, how
come I never heard of it?
I belong to the New Word Club.
I get every word the
minute they come out.
I never heard of that word.
Have you ever heard
of a writer/philosopher
named Nietzsche?
Yeah. Of course I have.
Well, when you do
something that he wrote about,
that's called being Nietzschean.
You mean if I did something
Hemingway wrote about,
that'd be Hemingwayan? No.
Aha!
Hemingway-ish. [laughs]
Are you trying to
tell me there's a word
called "Hemingway-ish"? Not yet.
Who starts?
I don't want to
play ghost anymore.
I have a better game.
What? I bet I win.
What's the game? Bet first.
I'm not gonna bet. Suppose
I don't know the game.
I'll teach you how to play it.
All right, teach me.
What's the bet? How much?
Um, a nickel. What's the game?
It's definitely a bet.
Yes, it's a bet.
What's the game?
The game is who's shorter?
Okay. Now, we
stand up side by side,
and who's ever
shorter wins. Get up.
I owe you a nickel.
Want to go again,
double or nothing?
You're a very cute lady.
I happen to be particularly
fond of a very cute lady.
I don't know about
cute. I'm freezing.
Look. See, the fire's going out.
Oh. Right. Okay.
Want me to break another chair?
No, honey, no.
Oh, Donald, please!
You're not going outside!
No, I'm not going outside.
It's just that you got
to break the last one,
so...
There. How's that?
That's fine.
Boy, now I'm really hungry.
I'd go out to the store for you,
but you don't want
to be left alone.
If that phoned worked,
you wouldn't have to.
We could call out for
food, and then we could
follow the delivery
boy back to civilization.
My purse.
Cut it up into
little pieces first.
No, no. I always
have a bunch of things
with me when I fly.
See, here's some...
Some chewing gum.
They keep my ears
from... from popping.
Oh, and some soda crackers,
just in case I get
a little nauseous.
And then some mints just in case
the soda crackers don't work.
Two sticks of gum, a soda
cracker, and some mints.
Yeah, well, it's better
than nothing, Donald.
You're right. But what do we do
when it runs out in a week?
Oh, boy.
I'm full.
Oh, Donald.
You know, the only
thing spoiling this
is that I know by now Mother
and Daddy are hysterical.
Maybe not, sweetheart. Your
father probably called the police,
and if Jon got through,
they found out we're fine.
You don't think anything
could've happened to Jon?
I really doubt it. At the
very worst, he's lost,
and he can make a fire
and start out in the morning.
He'll be all right.
He was in the army.
Okay.
"Okay"?
Mm-hmm.
That's it?
Uh-huh.
You amaze me, honey.
You really amaze me.
You usually worry
about the whole world,
and nothing I can
say can convince you
that there's nothing
to worry about,
and now all of a sudden,
whatever I say is fine.
Well, because. I mean,
if Daddy's worried,
there's really nothing
we can do about it.
Tomorrow we'll get out of here,
and Daddy'll see
that we're fine.
I'm sure if we're
fine, Jon must be fine
because he sure knows a lot
more about the survival business
than we do.
And mainly I refuse to worry
because I'm all alone in
a mountain cabin with you.
I like it... and you.
I don't want to discuss it.
[shivering]
How can three of us
not have any matches?
'Cause two of us don't smoke,
and the one who does smoke
doesn't have any matches.
Hey, you know something?
This is great! It's really great!
What? What's really great?
It'll give me an
excuse to quit smoking.
It'll be 12 or 14 hours
without any cigarettes.
What luck!
[fire crackling quietly]
[crash]
[splintering]
Honey, what are you doing?
Oh. Making wood, Donald.
Well, why didn't you wake me?
I would've done it.
Oh, you were
sleeping so soundly.
Ah. So instead,
you smash-bang the
chair all around the room.
Well, I... I just didn't get
a lucky smash in that time.
You didn't hear the first smash.
It's 5:30. It's gonna
get light out pretty soon
and we can get on our way.
How do you feel?
Uhh. I'm a little tired.
Then why don't you lie down
and try and get some sleep?
Oh, I don't know, Donald.
I don't think I want to do that.
You don't want to sleep? No.
Why not?
It's a personal thing.
Oh. I see.
Well, I mean, it's not
really that personal.
It's... It... It's...
Honey, look, you
don't have to tell me.
Well, I... I can
tell you, Donald.
Okay, tell me.
Well, you see...
I can't brush my
teeth without water.
Oh!
So?
So... if I go to sleep,
I'll wake up, and I won't
be able to brush my teeth,
and I'll just feel
funny all day.
Yeah, yeah, but
if you don't sleep,
it'll be the same amount of
time without brushing your teeth.
Well, I... I know it'll be the
same amount of hours, Donald,
but... but it'd really
be like if I was just
staying up all day and
not going to bed yet.
You see, then I wouldn't
have to brush my teeth.
Yeah, I... I know it sounds
silly, but... but that's it.
Rest, yes. Sleep, no.
Ohh...
[chuckles]
Good morning.
Good morning, Donald.
You blew your
toothpaste compulsion.
Oh, that's right! I did!
What time is it?
It's 11:30.
11:30?!
Oh, for heaven sakes!
[gasp] Oh, look, Donald!
It's a beautiful day!
Oh, look!
No wet, no fog.
Nothing!
Come on. Now,
let's get organized
before it gets dark again
and we have to spend
another night here.
You know what?
So would I. But let's
think of your father.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, Donald, let's come
back here someday
when we find out where we are.
Maybe we'll get to know
the people that own it
and we can bring
some of our chairs.
[both chuckle]
You're the man I'd most like
to be stranded
in the woods with.
[banging]
Oh. I... I beg your pardon.
I thought this cabin wasn't
supposed to be rented till today.
Oh, Daddy.
Who would believe this? Nobody.
The thing that kills
me is that I was only
two minutes from your cabin
when I used the phone
in the country club.
This is all your
doing, Hollinger.
I know you, and
this is all your doing.
Oh, Daddy, for heaven sakes,
we've told you a million times.
We couldn't see
where we were going.
It was night, and it was foggy.
Don't you think if we knew
we were only two
minutes' walking distance
from the hotel, we
would've walked it?
How do you think I'm
going to explain to everybody
that my daughter
and her boyfriend
spent a night alone
together in a cabin?
If you carry a crashed
plane around with you,
it might make
it a little easier.
Hollinger.
Then they'll probably start.
"Say, Lou, do you know you have
a crashed plane on your back?"
"Say, you're right.
Reminds me of the time
"my daughter and her
boyfriend were almost killed.
"Luckily, they found
their way to a cabin
and are perfectly
all right now."
I'll put your bags on your bed.
Really, it must've been
awful in that cabin all night.
Oh, no, Daddy. It was wonderful.
It really was wonderful.
Well, the plane crash
must've been terrible.
Oh, yeah! That was awful!
I mean, the crash
itself was so scary,
and then being left alone in
that freezing cockpit like that.
And then having to... to walk all
around in those dark, scary woods
looking for a cabin! I
mean, it was really terrible!
Well, thank goodness for that!
[knocking at door]
Who is it?
The pathfinder.
[laughs] Oh. Donald, come on in.
Hi. What are you doing?
I'm counting all
my loose change.
Do you know that from cups
and saucers in the kitchen,
cushions on the
sofa, my pocketbooks,
and my coat pockets, I've
collected my half of the money?
And I insist you take it
because it was worth it
and I want to pay my half.
Half of what money?
Well, the hotel bill.
They sent us a bill
for the use of the cabin
and the chairs
and... And everything.
And I want to pay my half.
$7.00.
The bill's $160.
Half of $160 is $7.00?
It's the new math,
Donald. Brand-new.
Oh.
You're gonna actually take it?
It's the new Donald. Brand-new.

Media Services, Inc. Burbank, CA
Oh, Donald, I'm
scared. I'm really scared.
Don't be, sweetheart.
I hate to disobey
you, Donald, but I am.
I have been, and
I'm going to be.
[thunder]
Ohh... Uh, Jon,
don't you think you
could find a clearer spot?
We're in it!
Oh. I hate it.
I really hate it.
Honey, you always feel this way
when you fly, and
nothing ever happens.
I've never been in
a toy plane before.
I mean, it's so tiny, and
there's no tomato juice.
What?
Always is a big plane
when I get scared,
I can look at the stewardess,
and if she's smiling
and serving tomato juice,
I know everything's
gonna be just fine.
[loud thunder]
Uhh! Oh, Donald!
Why didn't we drive?
Because it would've
taken ten hours
to get to your father's
cabin from New York,
and this way, it'll only be two.
Oh, Daddy was
right. He really was.
He said not to fly.
[thunder]
Ohh!
Uh, honey, think,
sweetheart, think.
Honestly, what is
there to be afraid of?
The thunder, the lightning,
the fog, the storm...
this tiny, little toy plane.
And a crash.
Ann, honey, now, listen to me.
Excuse me for
interrupting you, Don,
but you'd be smarter
to listen to that girl.
♪♪ [theme]
All right, all right.
Now settle down.
Settle down. Believe
me, there's nothing...
Nothing to worry about.
Donald, he just said...
I know, I know.
I'm talking to me.
[thunder]
Do... Do you know where we are?
No, ma'am. I've lost
all my visual references.
Aah!
All right, all right.
All right, all right, all right.
What about the radio, Jon?
Not working, Don.
♪ Twinkle,
twinkle, little star ♪
I always used to
sing that, Donald,
when I was a little girl
and I was scared a lot.
You can take me
home now, Donald.
Honey, honey, now, look, why don't
you just try and shut your eyes and relax.
Everything's gonna be fine.
[clunking] Right, Jon?
Oh... you bet, you bet.
[thunder] Aah!
Wait a minute! There's a
small clearing down there.
I might be able
to set it in there.
Small clearing?
Hold on!
Can you make that, Jon?
Hold onto her, Don.
All right. All right.
Brace yourselves.
[thunder]
[motor cuts in and out]
[wind blowing]
Oh, I gotta call my father.
Are you all right, honey?
Yeah. I think so.
[sigh] You all right, Don?
Yeah. Are you?
Yeah.
It's a miracle. It's
really a miracle.
I mean, nobody's hurt.
It's just an absolute miracle!
Unless... you...
you don't think...
ma-maybe we're all dead!
No. Sure, Donald.
I saw it in a movie one time,
and nobody knew they were.
We're all alive and well
and living in a cockpit.
My leg! My leg! It's...
My leg is all numb!
I'm touching my leg,
and I don't feel anything!
You're touching my
leg, and it's all right.
Oh.
Oh.
Donald, hold me.
Okay, honey, okay, okay.
We're all right,
and it's all over now.
I wish it was.
What's that mean?
And I don't want to hear.
Just let me believe for a
few seconds it's all over now.
Why? What's the matter?
Well, it gets pretty cold
in these mountains at
night. We've gotta get help.
Oh, well, then, let's
start walking somewhere.
That would be the biggest
mistake we could make.
We'll stay right here.
No.
No. No.
Well, one of us will
have to go for help.
That's right. Now, listen, Don.
Why don't you
stay here with Ann?
I'll go. If I'm not
back by morning,
you'd better start
off on your own.
But stay inside
the plane all night.
It may be the only
shelter you'll have.
Does it really get freezing?
Pretty close to it.
You two'll just have
to huddle together
and get all the warmth you can.
Uh, Jon, wait a
minute. That's not fair.
No, Donald, I don't mind.
I'll see you later.
Uh, Jon. Jon.
Jon, wait a minute. What?
Wait a minute. Listen.
Uh, that's not fair.
I can't let you go.
Look, we'll flip a coin for it.
If I lose, I'll go,
and you stay here
and take care of Ann.
Donald!
What?
Uh... uh, nothing.
Y-You're right. You...
You have to be fair.
I see. You just
don't like the idea
of having to huddle all night
with a perfect stranger, huh?
Uh, no. It... It doesn't matter.
What... Whatever you
two men work out is fine.
Come here, Don.
[whispering inaudibly]
All right. [clears throat]
Honey, look, we've solve it
without a flip of a coin. Oh?
We'll both stay here,
and you go for help.
[men laugh]
Now, look, Jon and I agree
that the danger is just as great
here as it is... Danger?
Well, why? What do
you mean, danger?
Oh, there's nothing
to worry about, really.
Just keep a small fire
going to ward off the...
cold.
You... You weren't
gonna say "cold."
You were gonna say "monsters."
Believe me, honey,
he wasn't gonna say "monsters."
I... I believe that.
Snakes. Snakes, right?
I just hate snakes.
And crawly things.
Really, I'm not a
coward, honest,
but... but you can't
see crawly things.
I mean, I wouldn't
mind wild animals
like... like puppies.
I'll be brave. I'll
be brave, Donald.
I'll be brave.
Good-bye, Jon.
Oh, Jon. Thanks so much.
You're such a nice man.
Good luck, and thanks.
Well, Don, let's, uh,
flip that coin, huh?
[both chuckle]
I'll see you later. Okay.
Bye.
Good luck, Jon.
[wind howls]
You know, Donald, it's
starting to get really cold.
Come here.
Ohh!
[shivering] Ohh!
You know, all the
times you've done that,
I never realized it could
be used for warming.
Come to think of it, it
never was very chilly.
Come on, sweetheart We'd
better build that little fire.
You know, Donald,
I read someplace
that if you make
a circle with rope
and you stay inside it,
a snake won't crawl over it.
Uh, no, no, no, honey. That was
if you made a
circle with a snake,
a rope wouldn't...
Uh, we'll look for a rope.
So far, I'm no
Tarzan by a long shot.
No rope and no
matches for a fire.
I guess there's no
sense in proving to you
that I can swing from trees.
Donald, I know what Jon
said about staying here,
but we're gonna freeze.
I was thinkin' that. But
it's been an hour now.
Why don't we give him
another hour if you can stand it.
I'd hate to start off
and then miss him
if he was comin' back with help.
Yeah, you're right. Okay.
I'll be able to make it.
I hope.
[hooting]
That's it. We're leaving.
It's an owl.
I know, Donald,
but owls eat meat.
I remember that
much from school.
Honey, we don't
have any meat here.
What are we, apricots?
Honey, an owl will
not attack a person.
How do you know?
People are too big.
I may be bigger
than an owl, Donald,
but I happen to know that
if one attacked me, I'd lose.
Yeah, but the owl
doesn't know that.
Well, there goes that saying.
What?
The wise old owl.
They're a bunch of
dummies. [chuckles]
[phone rings]
[ring]
[ring]
[ring]
[ring]
[ring]
Operator, get me
the state police.
Hello. Officer? This
is Lou Marie speaking.
Do you have any reports at all
of any light plane accidents?
You don't?
Oh, thank goodness.
Yes. My daughter's
flying up here
in a small private plane.
And I wondered if... Huh?
No, I don't have a phone.
That is, I'm staying
in a cabin on the lake
without a phone. No. I'm calling
from the Green Trees
Hotel and Country Club.
Yeah. I'll check back with you.
Thank you.
[wind howling]
I mustn't sleep. I can't sleep.
Why not, honey?
Because that's how
you freeze to death.
I don't think it's cold
enough to freeze.
It's about 40 degrees.
What's freezing? 32.
32? 32 to 40?
What's that, 8 points?
That's enough
for a deathly chill.
[sigh] Oh, Donald, I
can't stand it anymore.
It's freezing in here.
Let's move around.
Okay, honey, okay,
okay. Maybe you're right.
Am I being a bad
survivor, Donald?
[chuckles] You're being
a wonderful survivor.
And it's really kind of funny.
Is it? Where? Where's
the kind of funny?
She me where
the kind of funny is.
Since the first week
we started going out,
I always thought
how great it would be
to be stranded on a
desert island with you.
A freezing mountaintop
I didn't think of.
But you know, so
far, it's not too bad.
Come on. We'll be all right.
Which... Which way should we go?
We'll go the same
direction Jon went.
Did you notice
which way that was?
[wind blowing]
Did you?
Let's wait another hour.
Hello. Officer, this
is Lou Marie again.
What?
Oh, that's wonderful news!
Yeah. Is... Is everybody safe?
Is my daughter all right?
Is she there?
What? Well, how
long will it take you?
Does the pilot know his
way back up the mountain?
How far am I from you?
Well, now, let me
ask you one question.
Is the rescue party
leaving right away?
Good. I'll drive over
and wait for a report.
And... thank you. Good luck.
Thank you very much.
Okay, honey. Come on, let's go.
Is an hour up yet?
Yeah. Oh, good.
Come on. Oh...
Come on, honey.
We'll have to try
and find shelter somewhere else.
Do you see any owls?
Honey, forget about the owls.
Maybe with some luck,
we'll bump into Jon
and the search party.
Ohh... Be careful.
Bundle up. Ohh... Come on.
Just a couple of
hundred yards or so,
straight up this way.
Let's hope they
stayed by the plane.
Oh, I'm sure they did.
Ann?
Don!
Why didn't they wait?
I don't smell any fire.
They probably didn't
have any matches
and started walking
to keep warm.
Well, which way did they go?
I mean, how are we
gonna follow them?
Well, there's no way
to find a trail at this hour.
We may as well camp here tonight
and get a head start in the morning.
Let's go find some wood.
[wind howls softly]
Stand back, honey.
I'll kick the door in.
Oh, Donald, you can't do that.
There may be people in there.
Honey, I knocked.
I know, but some people
are very heavy sleepers,
and... [owl hoots]
Kick it in. Kick it in.
All right. Watch
out. Stand back.
[thud] Ow!
Oh... Donald, are you all right?
Uh, most of me, sweetheart,
considering a foot is only
1/20 of the whole body.
Here goes the other tenth.
Left foot.
[crashing]
Oh! Oh, Donald.
You're wonderful.
How's your foot?
Fine. Fine. Oh, good.
Ooh, here's a switch.
Oh, darn it, the
lights don't work.
All right, maybe
there's some matches.
Look around. Feel around for...
Donald, will you close
the door? It's freezing!
All right. Honey,
now feel around
for shelves or drawers
or something there
may be some matches in.
Okay.
[furniture scooting]
Oh. Excuse me.
Quite all right.
[clattering]
[thud] Ow!
Donald, watch
where you're going!
Thank you, honey.
[thumping]
[Donald] Wait a minute.
Here's a fireplace.
[racket]
Here. Here, honey.
Oh, great.
Oh, look, Donald! A lamp!
Where?
Don't ever say
"where" into a match.
Light another one.
Wait a minute.
Oh, good.
Good.
Here.
Oh, great.
Ohh... Oh, Donald, it's...
It's like finding paradise.
Oh, I feel so safe again.
Hello? Hello?
"Hello, hello"?
It's dead.
Oh. You know, honey,
this must be somebody's
vacation cabin.
Maybe they're just out for
the night and they'll be back.
Honey, they wouldn't
turn off all the electricity
and the phone just
for one night out.
Maybe they're cheap.
Maybe I'm being silly.
'Course, I'd prefer
to believe the first,
although I happen to know
that the second is more accurate.
And is it true people start
mumbling incoherently
when they're frightened?
Here's another lamp.
Oh, good.
Be it ever so humble.
Oh, Donald.
It's charming, isn't it?
It really is charming.
Just one thing
could make it perfect.
What's that?
If it were in the cabin exhibit
right in the middle of
the New York auditorium
five minutes from my
apartment. I'm freezing.
All right, honey,
I'll build a fire.
Oh, we're gonna need more wood.
Where are you
gonna get more wood?
I'll go outside and look.
Oh, Donald! Please don't
leave me in here alone!
The wood out there wouldn't
be dry enough, anyway.
Honey, it'll be worth a look.
[owl hoots] It's definitely
not worth a look.
Oh, Donald, please
don't go out there.
I found wood! I
found wood! Where?
Here. Here. Here's wood.
Oh, honey, don't be silly.
I'll look outside.
How can you break a chair?
[crash]
That's how.
[closes door]
Okay.
You're strong.
There, honey. How's
that? You feel warmer?
Yeah. What about food?
Can I tell you something?
Oh, maybe some
marshmallows or wieners.
Even spinach.
I would just like to
relax for a minute.
It's been a wild and
furious ten hours,
and suddenly, on a
cold and dreary night,
I find myself alone
in a cozy cabin
next to a fireplace
with you, [chuckles]
and I would just like
to relax for a minute,
totally without any thoughts
of any problems at all.
Donald?
What?
Would you mind if I joined you
in enjoying yourself with me?
[chuckles] Not at all.
[chuckles]
Time's up.
Okay. What's the word?
Nietzschean.
You have g-h-o.
Nietzschnean? What's that?
That's not a word. Yes, it is.
If that's a word, how
come I never heard of it?
I belong to the New Word Club.
I get every word the
minute they come out.
I never heard of that word.
Have you ever heard
of a writer/philosopher
named Nietzsche?
Yeah. Of course I have.
Well, when you do
something that he wrote about,
that's called being Nietzschean.
You mean if I did something
Hemingway wrote about,
that'd be Hemingwayan? No.
Aha!
Hemingway-ish. [laughs]
Are you trying to
tell me there's a word
called "Hemingway-ish"? Not yet.
Who starts?
I don't want to
play ghost anymore.
I have a better game.
What? I bet I win.
What's the game? Bet first.
I'm not gonna bet. Suppose
I don't know the game.
I'll teach you how to play it.
All right, teach me.
What's the bet? How much?
Um, a nickel. What's the game?
It's definitely a bet.
Yes, it's a bet.
What's the game?
The game is who's shorter?
Okay. Now, we
stand up side by side,
and who's ever
shorter wins. Get up.
I owe you a nickel.
Want to go again,
double or nothing?
You're a very cute lady.
I happen to be particularly
fond of a very cute lady.
I don't know about
cute. I'm freezing.
Look. See, the fire's going out.
Oh. Right. Okay.
Want me to break another chair?
No, honey, no.
Oh, Donald, please!
You're not going outside!
No, I'm not going outside.
It's just that you got
to break the last one,
so...
There. How's that?
That's fine.
Boy, now I'm really hungry.
I'd go out to the store for you,
but you don't want
to be left alone.
If that phoned worked,
you wouldn't have to.
We could call out for
food, and then we could
follow the delivery
boy back to civilization.
My purse.
Cut it up into
little pieces first.
No, no. I always
have a bunch of things
with me when I fly.
See, here's some...
Some chewing gum.
They keep my ears
from... from popping.
Oh, and some soda crackers,
just in case I get
a little nauseous.
And then some mints just in case
the soda crackers don't work.
Two sticks of gum, a soda
cracker, and some mints.
Yeah, well, it's better
than nothing, Donald.
You're right. But what do we do
when it runs out in a week?
Oh, boy.
I'm full.
Oh, Donald.
You know, the only
thing spoiling this
is that I know by now Mother
and Daddy are hysterical.
Maybe not, sweetheart. Your
father probably called the police,
and if Jon got through,
they found out we're fine.
You don't think anything
could've happened to Jon?
I really doubt it. At the
very worst, he's lost,
and he can make a fire
and start out in the morning.
He'll be all right.
He was in the army.
Okay.
"Okay"?
Mm-hmm.
That's it?
Uh-huh.
You amaze me, honey.
You really amaze me.
You usually worry
about the whole world,
and nothing I can
say can convince you
that there's nothing
to worry about,
and now all of a sudden,
whatever I say is fine.
Well, because. I mean,
if Daddy's worried,
there's really nothing
we can do about it.
Tomorrow we'll get out of here,
and Daddy'll see
that we're fine.
I'm sure if we're
fine, Jon must be fine
because he sure knows a lot
more about the survival business
than we do.
And mainly I refuse to worry
because I'm all alone in
a mountain cabin with you.
I like it... and you.
I don't want to discuss it.
[shivering]
How can three of us
not have any matches?
'Cause two of us don't smoke,
and the one who does smoke
doesn't have any matches.
Hey, you know something?
This is great! It's really great!
What? What's really great?
It'll give me an
excuse to quit smoking.
It'll be 12 or 14 hours
without any cigarettes.
What luck!
[fire crackling quietly]
[crash]
[splintering]
Honey, what are you doing?
Oh. Making wood, Donald.
Well, why didn't you wake me?
I would've done it.
Oh, you were
sleeping so soundly.
Ah. So instead,
you smash-bang the
chair all around the room.
Well, I... I just didn't get
a lucky smash in that time.
You didn't hear the first smash.
It's 5:30. It's gonna
get light out pretty soon
and we can get on our way.
How do you feel?
Uhh. I'm a little tired.
Then why don't you lie down
and try and get some sleep?
Oh, I don't know, Donald.
I don't think I want to do that.
You don't want to sleep? No.
Why not?
It's a personal thing.
Oh. I see.
Well, I mean, it's not
really that personal.
It's... It... It's...
Honey, look, you
don't have to tell me.
Well, I... I can
tell you, Donald.
Okay, tell me.
Well, you see...
I can't brush my
teeth without water.
Oh!
So?
So... if I go to sleep,
I'll wake up, and I won't
be able to brush my teeth,
and I'll just feel
funny all day.
Yeah, yeah, but
if you don't sleep,
it'll be the same amount of
time without brushing your teeth.
Well, I... I know it'll be the
same amount of hours, Donald,
but... but it'd really
be like if I was just
staying up all day and
not going to bed yet.
You see, then I wouldn't
have to brush my teeth.
Yeah, I... I know it sounds
silly, but... but that's it.
Rest, yes. Sleep, no.
Ohh...
[chuckles]
Good morning.
Good morning, Donald.
You blew your
toothpaste compulsion.
Oh, that's right! I did!
What time is it?
It's 11:30.
11:30?!
Oh, for heaven sakes!
[gasp] Oh, look, Donald!
It's a beautiful day!
Oh, look!
No wet, no fog.
Nothing!
Come on. Now,
let's get organized
before it gets dark again
and we have to spend
another night here.
You know what?
So would I. But let's
think of your father.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, Donald, let's come
back here someday
when we find out where we are.
Maybe we'll get to know
the people that own it
and we can bring
some of our chairs.
[both chuckle]
You're the man I'd most like
to be stranded
in the woods with.
[banging]
Oh. I... I beg your pardon.
I thought this cabin wasn't
supposed to be rented till today.
Oh, Daddy.
Who would believe this? Nobody.
The thing that kills
me is that I was only
two minutes from your cabin
when I used the phone
in the country club.
This is all your
doing, Hollinger.
I know you, and
this is all your doing.
Oh, Daddy, for heaven sakes,
we've told you a million times.
We couldn't see
where we were going.
It was night, and it was foggy.
Don't you think if we knew
we were only two
minutes' walking distance
from the hotel, we
would've walked it?
How do you think I'm
going to explain to everybody
that my daughter
and her boyfriend
spent a night alone
together in a cabin?
If you carry a crashed
plane around with you,
it might make
it a little easier.
Hollinger.
Then they'll probably start.
"Say, Lou, do you know you have
a crashed plane on your back?"
"Say, you're right.
Reminds me of the time
"my daughter and her
boyfriend were almost killed.
"Luckily, they found
their way to a cabin
and are perfectly
all right now."
I'll put your bags on your bed.
Really, it must've been
awful in that cabin all night.
Oh, no, Daddy. It was wonderful.
It really was wonderful.
Well, the plane crash
must've been terrible.
Oh, yeah! That was awful!
I mean, the crash
itself was so scary,
and then being left alone in
that freezing cockpit like that.
And then having to... to walk all
around in those dark, scary woods
looking for a cabin! I
mean, it was really terrible!
Well, thank goodness for that!
[knocking at door]
Who is it?
The pathfinder.
[laughs] Oh. Donald, come on in.
Hi. What are you doing?
I'm counting all
my loose change.
Do you know that from cups
and saucers in the kitchen,
cushions on the
sofa, my pocketbooks,
and my coat pockets, I've
collected my half of the money?
And I insist you take it
because it was worth it
and I want to pay my half.
Half of what money?
Well, the hotel bill.
They sent us a bill
for the use of the cabin
and the chairs
and... And everything.
And I want to pay my half.
$7.00.
The bill's $160.
Half of $160 is $7.00?
It's the new math,
Donald. Brand-new.
Oh.
You're gonna actually take it?
It's the new Donald. Brand-new.
