Tanya looks at Mel, surprised. “Well,” says Mel. “You’ve been bragging about your scrambled eggs. It’s time I find out just how good they are.” An airport worker runs up behind Tanya. “Mister Bakersfield!” shouts the airport worker, “Maintenance  just called. The big snowblowers got damaged. Mike wants you to take a look and make a decision whether to work overtime to repair them.” “Tell him to take care of it himself,” says Mel, shutting Tanya’s car door. “Yes, sir,” says the airport worker. Mel walks around to the driver’s side of the MelMobile, climbs in, and starts the car.  The MelMobile fishtails out to the taxiway as several airliners make use of the now-active Runway Two-Niner.  The theme music rises as the end titles begin.

Minute 135: Nice Going, Sweetheart

GUEST HOST: DANIEL HANK [http://www.airportminute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/danhank-1.jpg] Daniel Hank works as a producer, studio production executive and loves to travel. Airport is one of his favorite movies. His credits include Marvel’s Daredevil, Glee, and the upcoming series The Breaks. He’s a serious frequent flyer and has written consistently about his travels to all seven continents. SUMMARY Vern is at Gate 33, holding Gwen’s hand as she’s wheeled off the Tourist Jetway. Sarah Demerest stands behind a fence, unnoticed, listening in to Vern’s conversation. “I’m going to the hospital with her,” says Vern to the airport physician. The doctor signals to the attendants to take her to the ambulance. Vern follows, never noticing Sarah. Sarah watches them leave. The scene shifts to the next morning. The 707 from TGA Flight 2 is parked in the TGA hangar. A crowd of people stare up at the starboard tail, including Mel, Tanya, Patroni, Anson Harris, and Cy Jordan. An FAA investigator measures the size of the hole blown out of the starboard lavatory. Joe Patroni walks under the tail of the 707, swinging a box of cigars that were given to him by Mel. He taps the underside of the aircraft with the cigar box. “Nice going, sweetheart,” says Joe. Anson Harris talks to Cy Jordan. “Remind me to send a thank-you note to Mister Boeing,” says Harris. Mel takes hold of Tanya’s arm and they leave. The scene shifts to Gate 33. Peter Coakley is driving a TGA cart carrying Ada Quonsett to the gate agents’ counter. Ada steps out of the cart and proceeds to the counter. “Good morning,” says the agent. “First class, or economy?” Ada makes an offended expression, and says, “First class!” She then turns to Peter Coakley, frowning. “You know,” she says, “It was much more fun the other way.” The scene shifts back to the hangar. Mel and Tanya are walking toward the MelMobile.

Minute 134: Here She Comes

GUEST HOST: JOHN F. DULEMBA, M.D., FACOG [http://www.airportminute.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/johnd.jpg] Dr. John Dulemba has been practicing medicine in Denton, TX since 1986. Dr. Dulemba performs gynecological surgery with the Da Vinci Robot in North Texas. John is a former helicopter pilot in the United States military and is proud of his service to his country. He is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, which is often apparent when he enters the operating room with his Steeler attire. SUMMARY Flight Two’s passengers are exiting from the First Class Jetway at Gate 33. Suddenly, Inez Guerrero moves a velvet rope set up for crowd control and rushes to the exiting passengers, crying. “I’m so sorry!” says Inez. “He didn’t mean it! He didn’t mean it! I’m sorry!” Inez stumbles past the wounded passengers, and walks up to Tanya, who hugs her. “Inez…” says Tanya. Meanwhile, at the Tourist Jetway,  Dr. Compagno and the nun assisting him exit into the terminal. Compagno meets another man, who shakes his hand. “I’m Dr. Nash, the airport physician,” says Nash.  Sarah Demerest appears behind both doctors,  on the other side of a waist-high fence. “How do you do, I’m Dr. Compagno,” says Compagno. “It’s one of the stewardesses. She has splinters in the right eye. They may have penetrated.” “There’s an ambulance waiting,” says Nash. “I’ll take her right to the hospital. I have an ophthalmic surgeon standing by. Any other complications?” “Well,” says Compagno, “she has a fracture of the lower right arm. They’ll probably use a general for that. Before they decide on which type of anesthesia, better tell them that she’s pregnant.”  Sarah Demerest overhears this. “Here she comes,” says Compagno to Nash. Gwen rolls up the Jetway, strapped to a gurney. She’s bandaged and her head is immobilized. Vern is with her, holding her hand. “It’s all right, Captain,” says Nash. “We’ll take care of her.” In this minute Maureen Stapleton as Inez Guerrero Jean Seberg as Tanya Livingston Paul Picerni as Dr. Compagno Robert Brubaker as Dr. Nash Barbara Hale as Sarah Demerest Dean Martin as Vernon Demerest Jacqueline Bisset as Gwen Meighen
