  Speaker 1: Hi, Daphne, where you been?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Out.
• 0:03
  Speaker 3: Do you love me?
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Sure, I love you a lot.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: A whole lot?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: All right, what did you buy?
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Come on, you never start a conversation like that unless
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it involves money.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I bought a hat.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, how much did it cost?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: It was a real bargain.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: How much?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Seven dollars.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not too much. It could have been worse.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Sweetheart.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: What else?
• 0:26
  Speaker 5: Well, when I bought the hat, I needed shoes and
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: a handbag to go with it, didn't I?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: And I found just the right ones.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: How much? $ 21. 50.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: And that's for both of them.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: $ 21. 50? And $ 7 more for a hat? That's some bargain,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that hat.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Well, we're lucky we got the payroll savings plan. A
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: bond every payday is one way to make sure we
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: save something.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Gee, honey, you're smart to invest in them. They pay
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: you $ 4 for every three.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And it's a good thing for us they do.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Can you ever forgive me?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're so sweet. Why are you so sweet to me?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'm no fool. Come here, you.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, Joe.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And now.
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: The Bridge, starring Miss Kathy Lewis. A tale well calculated
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: to keep you in.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Suspense.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Saturday night in Westchester. The party is at George and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Laura's tonight. But it's the same party as it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Was last Saturday at the Kincaid and the Saturday before
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: at Millie and John's.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: The same people doing the same thing.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: The husbands haven't seen each other since they came up
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: from New York last night on the 505. And they
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: may not have another reunion until the 849 picks them
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: up at Chappaqua Monday morning. The wives have been adjourned
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: since yesterday's PTA meeting and will not reconvene until the
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: community theater luncheon at the Country Club day after tomorrow.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: The kids are presumably asleep in a score of homes
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: watched over by a TV-watching.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Babysitter with or without dates.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Saturday nights in Westchester. Togetherness in Western.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, Liz.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: What are you doing over here in the corner all
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: by your little cell?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Thinking.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Never heard of such a thing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: How about a fresh drink?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Come on, Liz.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Live a little.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I'm fine.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: Dance? Well, that's about all a host can offer with
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: a guest's husband in the room.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I doubt if he'd notice.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Who is she, George?
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: She?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: That girl dancing with my husband.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, aren't you being pretty possessive about old Max?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: She makes me feel possessive.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Who is she?
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: You met her when you got here.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Don't have to choose, George. Answer my question.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Well, her name is Edith Elwood.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Works for the competition, Marlin Advertising.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Been there about three months. Funny.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Max has never met you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: Why should he? Must be a hundred others like her
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: on Madison Avenue.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: That pretty?
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: Mm-mm. Is she married?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Gave it up. That's why she's working.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: George, have you ever seen them together?
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: You know, lunch, cocktails?
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Hey, what is this, a third degree?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: He calls her Edie. I heard it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Well, you know how it is. We're always taking people
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: to lunch. It's part of the business.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I see. Thanks for telling me, George.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: For heaven's sake, Liz, I haven't said anything.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: You've said enough.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Now, look, Liz, don't you go getting any crazy ideas.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: Where are you going?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Out.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I need some fresh air.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's raining cats and dogs out there.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: What difference does it make? I seem to be all
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: wet anyway. Oh, it's raining, Mac.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Stand close to me under this awning. You won't get wet.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Got this, Mac?
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm. Like this.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, I adore the rain.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So rainy.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: It was raining the day we met.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Remember, Edie? Since on the 485, you stepped off a
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: curb practically up to your knees.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: That's because I was looking at you instead of where
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I was going.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, you poor boy. You caught an awful cold.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Now, isn't that just like a woman? I'd forgotten all
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: about it. Hey, there's somebody else out here.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Where?
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Speak up, friend or foe.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: It's me, Max. Oh, Liz.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: What the devil are you doing out here by yourself?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Would it be all right if I were out here
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: with someone else?
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Perhaps I'd better go back inside. Edie, wait a minute.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Is your wife getting in your way, Max?
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Now, what kind of a remark is that?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I couldn't help overhearing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Oh, that was just party talk. Was it?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I remember that cold. I remember it very well. It
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: almost turned into pneumonia.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: I've forgotten. I haven't. What's the matter with you tonight?
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: You've barely been civil to people all evening, and now
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: you're out here moping by yourself.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Max. I've been thinking.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Thinking what?
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: The times you've called recently to say you had to
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: work late. How long it's been since you've asked me
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: to have lunch.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: With you in town?
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: You know I've got two new accounts to worry about.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: In addition to all... Beautiful.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: What?
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Who's beautiful? Edith.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Or as you call her, Edie.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Liz, I'm not going to stand out here in the
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: rain and defend myself against such ridiculous... Then don't, Max.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Now look, Liz. George drove Edith over here this evening.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: I didn't.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: But you sure would like to drive her back, wouldn't you?
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: Well, as a matter of fact, she... Liv's only a
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: couple of miles from us, and I did offer to
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: give her a lift.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, Max.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Max.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: All right, Liz. I'll tell George he'll have to take
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: her home. Anything to keep peace in the family.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: It's up to you, Max.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: given me a lift, Max.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: With this rain and all.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, no trouble at all, Edie.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I beat it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Max tells me you don't live very far from us
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: in Selwood.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I was very fortunate to find a house right on
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the river. I should think an apartment in town would
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: be more convenient to your work. Yes, but I just
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: love to be outdoors. And if I do say so myself,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I have a green thumb with roses. Max is good
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: with roses, too. I get stuck myself.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Please slow down a little.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: I'm only doing 35.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: That's too fast for this narrow, twisty road in the rain.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: There's that bridge at the bottom of the hill.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Liz, will you pipe down and let me do the driving?
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Or maybe you'd rather walk.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe I would. I think you're a wonderful driver, Max.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't say he wasn't. But you don't know this
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: road like I do.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: And neither of you know it as well as I do.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: I could ride down this hill with my eyes closed.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Max!
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Max, look out!
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Max!
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: In a moment, we continue with the second act of.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Suspense.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: How can heroism be acknowledged and symbolized? Recognition of outstanding
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: heroism takes the form of America's supreme military decoration.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: The Medal of Honor.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: It is awarded to those members of the United States
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Armed Forces who distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: at the risk of life, above and beyond the call
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: of duty, in action involving actual conflict with an enemy.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: For recipients in the Army and Air Force, the medal
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: is a gold-finished bronze star with the head of the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: ancient goddess Minerva in the center.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: A laurel wreath in green enamel surrounds the.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Five-pointed star, which is suspended by two links from a
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: bar bearing the inscription, Valor, and surmounted by an eagle
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: with wings outstretched. The ribbon pad directly above is light blue,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: with thirteen white stars arranged in the form of a
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: triple chevron. The President of the United States is the
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: only government official authorized to present the Medal of Honor.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: The award is.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Made by the Commander-in-Chief in the name of Congress, thus
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: accounting for why this highly esteemed decoration is sometimes incorrectly
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Only a very small number of the many millions of U.S.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Armed Forces personnel, past and present, have been presented this
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: great symbol of courage to which free men can aspire,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the Medal of Honor.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: And now, starring Miss Kathy Lewis, Act II of The Bridge.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: We're alive. We're still alive.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Look.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Look.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: The river. Must be 40 feet down there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: And we're hanging right over it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: We're going to fall.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Any second, we're going to fall.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry it's all my fault, Liz. If I hadn't
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: been driving like an idiot.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: We're alive. That's all that matters.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Max.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Look at that.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: The headlights. You're dimming.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: Short, pardon me.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: There they go.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, darling. Get me out of here. I've got to
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: get out of here. Keep your hands off that door.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: There's nothing under you but water.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: There's a car coming. Across the bridge.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: They'll see us.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, they've got to see us. We're down here.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: We're down here. They can't see us, Edith. We're hanging
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: at least ten feet below the floor of the bridge.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It's a mess.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Come back.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: They couldn't have seen us even if our lights weren't working.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: There'll be another one come along.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: We're flying.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: No, we're not. We slipped a little, but whatever we're
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: caught on is still holding. There's a flashlight in the
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: glove compartment. You're close to it, Edith.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know where to look. It's so dark in here.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: I'll get it. Let me have it, Liz. I'll see
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: if I can tell what's holding us. Nothing to hang
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: on to out here. The cement abutment. Absolutely smooth.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Let's try the other side. Edith, you're closest to the window.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Look at that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: My hand.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Looks like blood. Your nose is bleeding.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: My nose?
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: My.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: No.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: No.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm hurt.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: It's broken.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's broken. I'll be disfigured.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: It's just a nosebleed. Take this light. See if there's
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: anything else your side can hang on to.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: It's so dark out here.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I can't see anything.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: What was that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I dropped the flashlight. I couldn't help it. I'm hurt.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: I'm in shock. You just have a nosebleed. I don't
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: want to die.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to die.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Ada, hysterics aren't going to get us out of here.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Whatever's holding us must be under the back wheels. We'd
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: better climb into the back seat and reduce the strain.
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: I'll go first. I'll go first. All right, you're next, Stephen.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I can't. No, I can't.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: You pull. I'll push.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Now give me your hand, Liz.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: No, you don't.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: What the hell? Thank God it held.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Thanks. Did you smell something? Yes, I was hoping you
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: wouldn't notice it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Gasoline?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Gas.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: With a car tip at this angle, the tank's leaving.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Gasoline!
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: We'll catch fire! We'll burn up!
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Not if we're careful. I'm getting out!
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I've got to get out!
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Stop it, Edith.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Sit down.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Let me go!
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Sit down or I'll slug you!
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Max!
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: See what you've done, Edith?
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Hold him, please.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Hold him.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Caught again.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: For how long?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It'll slip again and.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Then we'll all be drunk.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: Shut up, David. Shut up!
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: In a moment, we continue with the third act of.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Suspense.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Another visit with Joe and Daphne Forsythe.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Joe. Joe.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Joe.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Joe!
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm up, I'm up. Forget breakfast, I'll
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: shave at work.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Joe, it's not time to go to work.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Then why'd you wake me up?
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: You were snoring.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You were snoring loud.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to quiet you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I thought I was quiet.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: You sounded like a buzzsaw going through a pine nut.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Pretty good, pretty good. I wish I could be with
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you through 30 in the morning.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: You can go back to sleep now.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, gee, thanks.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: You can get a good night's sleep, too. Our savings
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: bonds will protect us.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: They protect us. The money we invest is used to
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: protect our country and its freedoms. Why, all around us,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: we can see the safeguards that our bonds have paid for.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: So, you see, when you buy that savings bond with
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: every paycheck, you're really investing in a secure night's sleep.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Not in this house, I'm not.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Good night, Daphne.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Good night, Carol.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: And now, starring Miss Kathy Lewis, Act Three.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Of The Bridge.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: How long have we been here, Max?
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know. An hour?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Two, maybe. Maybe.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Gonna do?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Sit.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Wait.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Wait for what?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: To be drowned? Listen. Here comes another car.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: When it's right above us, let's try yelling all together
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: as loud as we can. I'll get ready.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Help!
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Help!
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Help me!
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Help!
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Help me! Please help me!
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Save your breath, Edith. They didn't hear us. They've got
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: to hear us.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: No, they didn't.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: We just have to wait for the next one.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Wait for the next one.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: I'm too scared to wait for the next one. So
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: am I, Edie. I've never been so scared in my life. Well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: why don't you show it then? What good would that do?
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: We've got to face it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Those cars up there will never be able to hear
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: us or the sound of their motors. We've got to
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: wait for one that's coming from the same direction we were.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Every car that's passed has been coming from the opposite direction.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: They can't see the hole in the guardrail where we
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: went through. But a car coming down that hill the
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: same way we were would pick it up in their headlights.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Somebody's got to come along. Sooner or later.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Let's hope it's sooner.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: It'll be too late.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Max, I have an idea. Couldn't we break open the
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: back window and then we could climb out over the trunk?
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Break it with what?
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Here, my shoe.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: That's safety glass, Edith. It's like a ball-peen hammer to
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: crack it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Max, how is the window put in?
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Got a metal strip all around it. Held with screws.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Would this strip come out if you removed the screws?
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Probably, but they take a special screwdriver. And we haven't
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: any screwdriver.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I have a mail file in my purse.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: Mail file? It might work on a Phillips screw.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Here we are.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Is it working?
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: I could tell better if I had a flashlight.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Max.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: I said I was sorry.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I've got an idea.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: My cigarette lighter.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Are you out of your mind? You smell like gasoline. Well, remember.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to help.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: The best way you can help is to stop having ideas.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Don't, Max. She can't help it.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: You can help it. I don't hear you going into hysterics.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: No.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: No, it won't work, Liz. The file's too soft. Just bends.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: At least it'll be light soon. Then someone's sure to
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: find us.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: It's not too late.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Look, girls, there's no use kidding you. Every time a
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: car goes over the bridge, whatever's holding us gives a little.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Maybe you didn't notice it. The last time was the worst.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: But it will hold.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: It's got to. I wouldn't bank on it. Now, you
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: kids lean back as far in the car as you
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: can to balance my weight.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: What are you going to do?
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I'm going to roll up the front windows.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: In case we.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: Go into the drink.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, Max, no, no, no.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Now, now these rear windows... You get the one on
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: your side, Liz. Now, listen to me carefully. I don't
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: know how deep the water is underneath us, but with
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: these windows closed, we'll have a couple of minutes after
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: we hit to get our breath and our bearings. If
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: the water's shallow, we may be above the surface and
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: we'll have no problem. If we're completely submerged, we'll have
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: to roll down the windows, let the car fill up,
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: and then swim up.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I can't. I can't. You can't what?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I can't swim. I can't swim.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I hear a car.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: This may be the one that shakes us loose. Sit
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: tight now.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I don't feel the bridge shaking.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Maybe he's coming down the hill the way we did.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: He's stopping. Can you see him?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Hey, stay down there.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: It's George.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Roll down the window.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Hey, are you down there?
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, we're here.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Eat it, too.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Anybody hurt?
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I'm hurt, George. You've got to get me out.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: I said bye till I break out a rope. You
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: better hurry, pal. This car may let go any minute.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Atta girl.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Now, just a couple more feet, Edith.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I can't, George, I can't.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Yes, you can.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Here, give me your hand. How you doing, Liz? Fine.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Need a hand?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: No, I can take it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: You okay, honey?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Safe and sound.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: That was a close.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: One.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: How in the world did you ever come looking for us? Oh,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: your babysitter got worried when you didn't get home. She
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: phoned me.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, bless her.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Are you all right?
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Liz and I are fine. But you'd better get
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Edith to a hospital. She's had a nosebleed. Come on, George.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Please take me away from this awful place.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Watch out for this truck.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pounding to make the hill. They always do
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: coming across the bridge. George, flash a light down there.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Max, look.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: There, but for the grace of... Look, darling.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: It sunk out of sight.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, deeper than I thought.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Well, pal, looks like you just lost yourself an automobile.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: I almost lost a lot more than that tonight.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Huh? George, will you please take me home?
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Come on, George. You must keep your date waiting.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: My date?
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: Well, you brought her to the party, didn't you? It's
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: only polite to see her home. Only, do you mind
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: dropping Liz and me first? We're tired. We want to
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: get to bed. Don't we, honey?
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Suspense.
