Pete and Dick wanted to be
on the first landing...
:05:07
but I'd have been happy
to be on the 93rd.
:05:13
Funny, Beano. You're a dead man!
:05:20
Crying out loud, I had the President
of the United States calling me.
:05:23
Good morning, Mr. President.
:05:24
Me, Al Bean. Last guy
in his astronaut group to even fly.
:05:29
- We take our jobs very seriously.
- The commander in chief...
:05:30
promoted all three of us
to Navy captains.
:05:32
Thank you very much, sir.
Yes, sir.
:05:36
Congratulations, Captain Bean.
Captain Gordon.
:05:38
- Captain Conrad. Captain Bean.
- Captain Conrad. Captain Gordon.
:05:41
People were treating me
with great care...
:05:43
making sure we hadn't come home
with any alien diseases.
:05:46
Careful not
to puncture his brain, Doc.
:05:48
That is very funny, Dick.
You're a very funny pilot.
:05:52
We hadn't, but one of the cameras
conked me pretty good during splashdown.
:05:58
It was my own damn fault.
:05:59
I was supposed to remove it
and put it under my seat...
:06:02
like it said on the checklist.
:06:04
I guess I was so happy the parachutes
had worked that I said...
:06:08
"I'll just leave it there
on its window mount."
:06:12
That is stupid.
:06:13
If it had hit me
in the center of the forehead...
:06:15
it would have
probably killed me...
:06:17
which would have been
a really sad situation.
:06:19
- Hit the breakers.
- I'm doing it.
:06:28
- What?
- Are you okay?
:06:30
Yeah, I think so.
I'm fine.
:06:33
- Did you get knocked out?
- What?
:06:35
Actually, I had,
but I didn't realize it until later.
:06:39
Hell, the whole trip I didn't have
too much luck with cameras.
:06:44
I'll explain that later.
:06:47
Bump or not, I was alive and well.
So were my friends.
:06:50
We made it,
and we made it well.
:06:53
- Let me disinfect that for you.
- Ow!
:06:57
Maybe we weren't dignified enough
to be heroes. It wouldn't matter.
